Planning ahead for a fantastic Christmas this year

Everyone will probably be feeling the pinch this year as we head toward Christmas.

So how can you make sure that you, you family and your friends have a good or even fantastic Christmas season this year?

Firstly, there's a little trick that your grandparents or parents could have used to help get through tough or harsh times in previous years.

Make a list of all the food and drinks that you will require for the Christmas season.

Every time you go shopping between now and Christmas buy one of the items from your Christmas list and then tick it off on your list. 

Put this Christmas food and drink in a special separated area, so that they will not accidentally be eaten or drunk early before Christmas! 

What kind of things can you buy in advance?

Flours, cooking fats, cooking oils, herbs, spices, tinned fruits, tinned meats, tinned fish, dried mixed fruits, seasonal nuts, packets of jelly, tins of cream, evaporated milk, condensed milk, tins of custard, tinned deserts, meat pies, etc, etc, etc.

Some shops offer a saving stamp scheme either with physical stamps or digitally and they will offer you some form of a bonus for completing the card. However, this is a little late to start such a saving scheme for Christmas 2022. So perhaps start that for next year, Christmas 2023?
