Woodstock, NY (WFN) -- You don't have to be a Scrooge in order to save some moolah during the holiday gift-giving season.

That's according to Elizabeth Cline, author of "The Bargain Buyer's Guide 2004" (The Print Project), a book that shows folks places where they can buy goods for 20 to 50 percent off retail price.

Cline says you can get everything you need for Christmas using the off-price catalogs and websites she recommends.

For starters, you can get Harry & David-style gift packs of holiday foods at jakeandamos.com, which sells Amish recipe jams, pickles, mustards and sauces.

Classiccloseouts.com sells clothes for $6-12 a piece from designer brands like DKNY and J. Crew; while kettlecare.com has natural skin-care and bath products that are 30 percent less than places like The Body Shop.

Finally, she says you can pick up wrapping paper and cards for bargain basement prices at currentcatalog.com.
