Finder’s Christmas savings tips
The Finder crew share their personal tips to help you save more money this festive season.
Embrace regifting
"Regift! Reduces clutter, saves money and passes your unwanted gift on to someone who will actually use it"
Get rewarded for your spending
"It's a good time to sign up to rewards credit cards since you'll be doing a lot of shopping soon. So you can reach your minimum spend faster and get them rewards!"
A budget is your best friend
"Set yourself a budget for Christmas shopping and other expenses. Track how much you're spending even when using a credit card so you don't overspend."
Sales aren't always what they seem
"Do your homework on Christmas shopping before you buy! A 'sale' in-store doesn't necessarily mean that it's cheaper than buying online."
Make the most of your big shop
"You can get 10% off one monthly shop at Woolworths AND 10% off one monthly shop at Big W when you sign up to Woolworths Everyday Extra. It costs $7/month or $35 for the first year, so if you signed up in December and used both 10% discounts you could save a LOT on groceries and presents."
Save on shipping
"Buy gifts for family overseas directly from online shops in their country and choose gift wrap online (don't buy here, wrap and then send internationally)."
