Christmas can prove a stretch on the finances at the best of times. But in a year when household bills have rocketed, credit is less easy to come by and many workers fear redundancy, finding the cash may be doubly hard.
Households are aiming to spend £300million less this Christmas than last year, according to a survey by the Centre for Economics and Business Research and supermarket Asda. Last year Britons were estimated to have spent £10.9billion on Christmas, with the average family forecast to spend £399 on food and presents this year.
Here Financial Mail highlights tips to make your money go further, making the most of Credit Crunch Christmas.
Exploit discount codes
Discount or voucher codes entitle online shoppers to a discount, or some other incentive such as free delivery. These are generally available from websites, but may also appear in newspaper adverts, leaflets or flyers.
The codes are typically entered into a box on screen at the time of paying. Some codes are valid for a limited period, while others give a discount only for certain products.
Anne Jones uses the website myukvouchercodes.com to help reduce her Christmas shopping bill with retailers such as Boots or Amazon. Anne, 48, and her husband Ronnie, 53, buy presents for their five children and three grandchildren including Ellie, 5 and Ethan, one. Ronnie had to give up his job as a labourer after a heart attack six years ago and Anne does not work, so the couple have to budget carefully for Christmas.
Anne, from Preston, Lancashire, says: ‘I always now check to see if there is a code that applies to what I am looking for. Sometimes you might get £10 off if you spend £50, at other times it might only be free delivery. But it all helps to stretch the budget further.’
