Saving money for Christmas is something most of us intend to do - but then forget until it’s too late.
Even if you haven’t started putting money away for this year’s festive season, there’s an easy way to start now that will save you nearly £1,000 by the time Christmas arrives.
And thankfully, it only involves putting away a few pounds of loose change each week - so you shouldn’t even notice the money going out, according to Apartment Therapy .
The simple hack couldn’t be more simple - each week put aside £1 a day, working your 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.
This will save you £28 a week and £112 a month. With 32 weeks until Christmas, if you start now, you can save £896 before the big day. If you’re in a relationship, you could even encourage your other half to do the same and double your savings.
Then come Christmas simply decide if you want to spend it all on presents - or book a holiday for the year ahead instead!
