And so this is Christmas, and what have you done … to pay for it? December can be an expensive time of the year and while there’s been plenty of belt-tightening right across Australia in 2023, we are looking for ways our readers are celebrating – without breaking the bank.
In the spirit of sharing, we want to hear your approaches to giving gifts, decorating your home and entertaining family and friends, with limited budgets in mind.
We’ll compile readers’ experiences and advice for a cost-conscious Christmas, and publish them in December (and yes, you can remain anonymous if you don’t want your in-laws to know that vase you gave them was an op-shop find).
