How to save money on Christmas shopping
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.
Limit the amount of presents - buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.
Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you're not having to buy multiple presents.
Plan ahead - if you've got the stamina and budget, it's worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.
Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you're not forking out more than you should though.
Buy in Boxing Day sales - some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.
Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.
Shop via outlet stores - you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.
They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.
She said: “Got these cards from The Works, really good for when your children get invited to birthday parties.
"Really good quality too. £1 for eight cards, you can’t go wrong.”
And delighted shopper Laura Crowther agreed the deal was too good to miss: “This looks a great deal! Need to look out for a packet.”
The Works has hundreds of stores all over the country.
But delivery is free if you spend £30 but click and collect is free on orders over a tenner.
All the cards can be recycled at home, but remember to remove any parts that contain plastic, glitter, batteries, electronics or any other embellishments first.
It's always worth shopping around to find the best deal.
