How to cut costs and still have a fun-filled Christmas

Part Two

Introduction

Two weeks ago I wrote about ways that you can save this Christmas. This week’s blog post from AA Finance Solutions brings you some more helpful tips so that you can save money this Christmas.

Tips and tricks

The first tip is to do your price checks! Plan out what items you want to buy before heading to the shops, and compare prices online. That way you’re getting the best value for money.

Secondly – stick to your list! Have a plan of things you need to buy, and don’t go off it. Once you start impulse buying, that’s when the unexpected costs will creep up.

Thirdly, if you buy online you can grab more of a bargain than you’ll often get instore. So have a look around the web and make sure you’re getting the best deal you can get.

My fourth tip is to be very careful when using your credit card. It can be very tempting to overspend with a credit card, but the bill still rolls around at the end of the month.

Lastly, if you really are struggling, it’s important to talk to a financial advisor. There are a variety of ways that they can help you better plan how you spend and make sure you get back on track. 

Conclusion

Ultimately, remember to enjoy your Christmas and focus on the most important thing – spending quality time with those you love. For more help and advice, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the friendly team at AA Finance Solutions.
