The Daily Money
 
Friday, December 11

Daily Money readers, it's Friday. Christmas is two weeks away, while we're three weeks from the end of 2020. 

Before we dig into those Money and Tech headlines, here's another holiday tip: Got broken Christmas lights? You don't have to buy new ones. A quick fix or two could bring back your holiday cheer in no time.

Now, on to the headlines:

Notice you're piling up more plastic bags from the grocery store, or maybe you're using plastic cutlery more often? It's not just you. We're using way more plastic during the pandemic

One thing you're probably not buying at the store in recent months: Clorox wipes. Good luck finding them anywhere. And it gets worse. We won't be seeing stores fully stocked until the middle of next year.

Finally, you've likely read several stories on how much you should contribute to your 401(k). But when you contribute is just as important

Scroll down for more headlines, and have a great weekend.

Plastic bags and other rubbish are collected from the waters of Manila Bay in the Philippines on July 3, 2014 during a campaign by environmental activists and volunteers calling for a ban of the use of plastic bags.
