The Coca Cola ad comes on TV\u2026 that can only mean one\u00a0thing\u2026 Christmas is here!<\/p>\n

Christmas is the season of giving.<\/p>\n

So, to help you spread the Christmas cheer, Mr Lender\u2019s\u00a0prepared the 3 best money saving tips that\u2019ll help you (and\u00a0your oh so precious wallet).<\/p>\n

\"Title:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

Christmas gifts and deals:<\/strong> Bargains are like rich people in Aldi, you\u00a0know they\u2019re in there but they\u2019re not always\u00a0easy to spot.<\/p>\n

Like with all things these days, online\u2019s a good place to start.<\/p>\n

\"PC<\/p>\n

Loads of online stores have voucher codes you can use to get discounts. Just go to\u00a0their website and look for them. Some places even give you voucher codes if you\u00a0sign up to their newsletters.<\/p>\n

To make it easier to hunt for voucher codes, you can try Groupon<\/a>. This website gives\u00a0out voucher codes you can use to buy Christmas gifts, like candles and jumpers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Websites such as hotukdeals.com<\/a> are also\u00a0a dime a dozen for people on a budget. These\u2019ll help you snatch deals on things like perfume and novelty mugs.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t want to use voucher codes, you\u00a0can try your luck shopping on Amazon<\/a> and\u00a0Ebay<\/a>. They have daily deals on all sorts like gadgets, clothes, things for the house\u00a0and much more \u2013 so you can save money\u00a0by buying stuff for the whole family.<\/p>\n

\"shopping<\/p>\n

The best deals, though, usually happen on Black Friday. Black Friday is basically a
\nday where you get discounts from loads of\u00a0stores. You can snag the best Black Friday\u00a0deals online or in store.<\/p>\n

This year, you can expect Black Friday\u00a0deals like \u00a3240 off Lenovo<\/a> and HP laptops,\u00a0\u00a3700 off QLED and OLED TVs and Apple\u00a0iPads from \u00a3299, which you can find over\u00a0at Currys. The key is to have a look around.\u00a0You\u2019ll find something eventually.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"Title<\/h3>\n

Christmas on a budget:<\/strong> A lot of brands sell the exact same thing.\u00a0<\/span>How can you choose which one to buy?<\/span><\/p>\n

Most people go by quality. People think the\u00a0<\/span>more expensive something is, the better the\u00a0<\/span>quality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not always the case.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to save money this Christmas,\u00a0<\/span>you should go for the cheaper alternative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Turkeys\"<\/p>\n

Instead of buying your turkey from Waitrose\u00a0<\/span>(4kg-6kg costs \u00a330), why not go to Aldi\u00a0<\/span>instead (3-4.49kg costs just \u00a34.<\/span>29)?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Christmas cards from Clintons? Nah, just\u00a0<\/span>go to Card Factory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thinking of Christmas crackers? Think about<\/span>\u00a0Poundland<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Binoculars\"<\/p>\n

The list can go on, and on, and on. So\u00a0instead of boring you with no end, go to
\nyour local high street and look around.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to buy something, don\u2019t just automatically go to your usual shop \u2013 go to different places and compare prices. Once\u00a0you\u2019ve compared, choose the cheapest.
\nSimple! (Screw brand loyalty. Sometimes,\u00a0being unfaithful is a good thing…).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\"Title<\/h3>\n

Save money this Christmas by ditching your unwanted items:<\/strong> We\u2019ve all been there – where you receive\u00a0Christmas gifts which were not quite what\u00a0you expected or have any use for.<\/p>\n

So, why not save money by selling all of\u00a0last year\u2019s unwanted gifts?<\/p>\n

\"toy<\/p>\n

Afterall, they\u2019ve just been gathering dust\u00a0in your cupboard for the last 12 months
\nanyway!<\/p>\n

You can turn unwanted items into cash on\u00a0sites like these:
\n\u2022 Ebay
\n\u2022 Amazon Marketplace
\n\u2022 Gumtree
\n\u2022 Facebook Marketplace
\n\u2022 Depop<\/p>\n

With your newfound cash, you can start\u00a0buying Christmas\u00a0gifts that people actually
\nwant.<\/p>\n

\"cash<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Don\u2019t feel pressured into spending a lot on Christmas, especially not on Christmas gifts.\u00a0<\/span>Christmas is about spending quality time with your friends and family.<\/span><\/p>\n

If Christmas gifts are important to you, starting next year, why not prepare a budget and plan way ahead of time?\u00a0<\/span>That way, you can\u00a0<\/span>put aside some of your wages every month and use it to buy Christmas gifts later on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You only need to spend as much as you want and on the people you want.\u00a0<\/span>Think of essentials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Only buy Christmas gifts for people you\u2019re closest to, the rest, well, you can give them Christmas\u00a0<\/span>cards (you can even be cheeky and make Christmas cards yourself to save money\u2026)<\/span><\/p>\n
