When to shop for your Christmas dinner to save cash
Food is almost 10% more expensive than it was this time last year, so finding the best time to shop could be crucial for some.
Joseph Seager, who runs the Thrifty Chap blog, recommends going to a 24-hour supermarket late in the evening.
“You’ll avoid the crowds and should still be able to get what you need,” he said.
It’s a gamble, but you can save by waiting for last-minute flash sales.
“It’s worth holding out till the Christmas week to make your purchases,” said Al Baker, who runs money-saving blog The Penny Pincher.
