Cut festive spending

The average Brit expects to spend almost £600 on core Christmas-related products and activities this year, including food, gifts, decorations, socialising and travelling*.

Whether you’re watching every penny or determined to splurge, it pays to monitor your spending. Start by reminding yourself how much Christmas cost you last year, then check how healthy your bank account is, how much you have saved and how much card debt or other short-term financing you already carry.
