We know you don't want to start thinking about Christmas but it's never to early to start budgeting.
Christmas is a time to get merry with friends and family but between presents for him, her and the dog - your bank account can be left looking pretty empty.
But what if you put away a little cash for a snowy day with this easy saving tip that could see you save up nearly £1k by December.
Each week you put aside £1 a day, working up by a pound as each day passes, then start again as the week rolls around.

So, on Sunday save £1, Monday £2, Tuesday £3, Wednesday £4, Thursday £5, Friday £6, Saturday £7 then back to £1 again on Sunday.
If you stick with it you will save £28 a week and £112 a month. With 32 weeks until Christmas, if you start now, you can save £896 before the big day.
That's enough for everyone's presents, some summer sun or even that handbag you have been eyeing up all year long.
