Tesco Bank shares some shopping tips
to help you stay within your festive budget
A poll of 2,000 adults by finder.com found that over half of us receive at least one unwanted gift each year*. It’s worth having a heart-to-heart with loved ones who, like you, might be thinking, “Do we need to get each other presents?” Maybe set a price limit or try a secret Santa.

saving money this Christmas
SPEND LESS
THIS CHRISTMAS
Keep your eyes peeled for great offers that get you two for one or another for half price. Can you tick two people off your list with one deal? And when doing your regular weekly shop, you might even be able to add a gift to your trolley for less or nothing at all.
Multi up
Many enticing offers appear in the weeks before December, but make sure you keep receipts for goods that may need to be returned after December 25. Treats are often reduced after Halloween – even toys appear as the “offer of the week”. Check out offers on Gift Cards
in-store at Tesco or online. Selected Tesco stores only. Card T&Cs apply. Tesco’s change of mind policy does not apply for in-store purchases, see e-Gift Card T&Cs online.
BE EAGLE-EYED
Pay with Tesco Bank’s Clubcard Pay+ in and out of Tesco for extra points. More points mean more vouchers to help you spend less at Tesco. Or get up to three times the value of your vouchers with Clubcard Reward Partners to spend on days out, eating out and more. Minimum spend and exclusions apply when collecting points.
Tesco Clubcard Pay+ is provided by Tesco Bank and is available
to Tesco Clubcard members who are resident in the UK and
aged 18 or over. Accounts are subject to status.
POINTS MEAN PRESENTS
Time is something we’re all short of. Why not suggest to friends
that you swap a treat experience instead of buying a gift this year?
You could offer to babysit, cook dinner, whip up a birthday cake or
give a manicure. So think of a special thing you can do for
them – and watch their delight when they open that
handmade “time voucher” on Christmas Day.
GIVE THE GIFT OF TIME
You could sign up to cashback sites that offer money back on
certain brands. Rather than buying from a company direct, click through to the company via the cashback site and you could get
paid for it. Payouts range from pennies to more than £100.
You’ll have to register, though this is usually free.

7 Is it really a bargain?
Pinning your hopes on Black Friday? Make sure you’re getting a genuine bargain by doing your research: compare prices and check what’s really included in a deal before you buy. Tech items are often a little cheaper when a new edition hits the shelves, so they’re worth considering as long as the warranty has plenty of time to run.
