Whether you\u2019re a festive fiend or little bit of a scrooge, there is no getting away from it\u2026 Christmas costs money. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re anything like me, you make your Christmas budget, and then promptly blow it. \u2018<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s Christmas\u2019, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we say,<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2018let\u2019s go all out!\u2019 <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then come January, when your bank account looks bleak and the credit card bill rolls in, we don\u2019t feel quite so joyous. So this year, I\u2019ve decided to be sensible and try to save money without scrimping on the festivities. Here are my top ten tips to avoid a financial hangover this Christmas:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Make your budget<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2026 and stick to it. It\u2019s easy to make a budget and ignore it, so be firm and abide by the budget. The Money Advice Service have launched a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk\/en\/tools\/christmas-money-planner\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Christmas money planner<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is a fantastic tool to help you plan. It budgets everything from presents to decorations, so definitely give this one a go.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your Christmas money in a <\/span><b>separate account. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with any big purchase, it\u2019s sensible to keep the money separate so it doesn\u2019t get mixed up with your day-to-day living costs. Plus, it\u2019s way easier to track your spending this way.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a look at <\/span><b>who you\u2019re buying presents for<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2026 do you have to buy for everyone? If you\u2019ve always sent a gift to the friend you never see, ditch the present and suggest a date to catch up over lunch in January. Huge family to buy for? Why not suggest drawing a name out of a hat so that everyone buys one great gift.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Online <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all the way. It\u2019s no secret that online is usually cheaper, but I personally find it easier to shop around and keep track of my spending. If you have a specific gift in mind, take advantage of one of the many price comparison tools. I like <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.idealo.co.uk\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Idealo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/pricespy.co.uk\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pricespy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for speedy results. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>You can make cash as you spend<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so get cashback savvy and <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/quidco.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sign up to Quidco<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Simply head to their website or app, search the retailer you are about to buy from, and click through to your website of choice. You\u2019ll get anything up to 20% of what you spend credited to your Quidco account, which you can transfer to your bank account or upload to an eVoucher. I\u2019ve made \u00a3200 in cashback this year so far. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always search for a <\/span><b>discount code <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">before you shop. Head to <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vouchercodes.co.uk\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vouchercodes.co.uk<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for codes that are tested and working, and <\/span><b>sign up to emails<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for subscriber offers. There are always plenty around Christmas.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Get crafty. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, not all of us have time for handmade presents, but if you have a creative streak and some extra time, a handmade present is always well received. It can even be something simple like a Christmas cake!

Save money by <\/span><b>shopping at budget supermarkets, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">like<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lidl, Aldi, and Iceland <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trial <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.co.uk\/aclk?sa=l&amp;ai=DChcSEwjhxKDXhNfeAhXOu-0KHfHrAlYYABAAGgJkZw&amp;sig=AOD64_2PHOWMMHLDcUMzPZUoIZMnzz_U8A&amp;q=&amp;ved=2ahUKEwir1pvXhNfeAhXJB8AKHXfZDRYQ0Qx6BAgDEAE&amp;adurl=\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon Prime for free<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and get free, unlimited one-day delivery on everything.
