Are you worried about meeting the cost of Christmas ?

By Liz Dore | 13 November 2022
If you are worried about rising energy bills and increasing food prices, now is a good time to start planning for Christmas, to avoid running up expensive debts for 2023. Here are some ways to help you to keep your costs manageable at this time of year, ranging from making a budget and making your own decorations to reduce waste.
  • Make a budget – Consider how much you can afford
  • Make a ‘no present pact’ with friends
  • Downshift the turkey and extras – find cheaper alternatives to top brands
  • Reduce unnecessary ‘tat’ – make your own decorations
  • Remember that time spent with family is better than the money you spend
