Christmas time can be tough – from buying presents to cards, the bills can start to clock up, and next thing you know, you’re strapped for cash in the New Year!
But don’t worry, there are many ways to save while still keeping the Christmas spirits up. We’ve got some top tips for keeping costs down this festive season.
Leftovers
Don’t deny it, we all love to indulge in the big bird at Christmas-time but don’t forget to use leftovers too. Nothing can beat a delicious turkey and ham sandwich with cranberry sauce on St Stephen’s Day, and who says it has to stop there? Make your leftovers that little bit more special by combining them into other meals, like lamb burgers or a scrumptious turkey curry.
Make Your Own Christmas Cards
Homemade always adds a bit more personality to a card. Instead of splashing out on loads of cards this year for family and friends, try making them at home. Sure they won’t be as glamorous as the stuff you’d get in-store but it’s the thought and effort that you put in that’ll make it all the more sweet. You’d be surprised at what scraps of paper, a scissors and sparkly ribbon can do!
Check it Twice and Buy in bulk
Make a list when you’re planning to shop online and keep those pennies in your pocket. Buying in bulk from BuyersClub.ie can also save the hassle of having to wait for queues at the checkout and you can buy from the comfort of your couch – sorted.
Sort out that Secret Santa
Instead of buying presents for all of your friends, family and work colleagues this year, give Secret Santa a go instead of spending a ridiculous amount of money on too many gifts! Obviously your folks, other half and godchildren will be definites to get gifts but it’ll ease the pressure off you financially if you use the Secret Santa method with close friends and siblings.
