<div style="page-break-before:always; page-break-after:always">1 Always plan ahead When you&rsquo;re doing the Christmas food shop, it can be tempting to pile up your trolley with goodies that catch your eye as you wander the aisles. The result? You can end up spending a lot of cash on food that you don&rsquo;t need. So always plan ahead before you go shopping. Work out what you&rsquo;re going to eat over the Christmas period, then write a shopping list of everything you&rsquo;ll need &ndash; and stick to it. Knowing you have all the items you&rsquo;ll need on your list will make you less likely to impulse buy. Avoiding the shops when you&rsquo;re hungry will also help to keep you on track.2 Seek out the best deals During the next few weeks, look out for deals on items that are on your list that will either keep in your cupboards or that you can freeze. And when it comes to your main Christmas food shop, check online to see which supermarkets are offering the best deals, especially on more expensive items such as turkeys. After you&rsquo;ve chosen the best place to shop, hunt online for any vouchers too. While in the supermarket, compare brands and look for the best deals on everything you&rsquo;re buying. And if you&rsquo;re tempted to upgrade to pricier brands because it&rsquo;s Christmas, remember that this can send costs soaring, so beware.3 Cook up savings You could cut costs further by doing more work in the kitchen instead of buying items such as pre-prepared vegetables, even though they may be temptingly convenient. Peeling and chopping your own vegetables will save money, and, as many of us will end up with some food leftover, even if we&rsquo;ve planned our shop carefully, ensure you make the most of it. For example, there are loads of recipe ideas online of what you can do with leftover turkey. Make use of your freezer, ready for the dark, cold January nights.
