As a nation, we`re going to increase the amount we spend on food and drink over the festive period, but you can ensure that you can afford it by getting your finances under control through refinancing if you do not have the cash saved up already.

IGD indicates that there`s going to £19 billion spent on consumables this Christmas, 3.9 per cent more than last year. Many people have got budgeting in mind too, with six in ten (58 per cent) planning on doing more shopping around than last year to get the best deals.

That`s poised to provide a boom for discount supermarkets like Aldi and Lidl, with half (53 per cent) of young families planning on using them, alongside a third (36 per cent) of shoppers in the A and B brackets, showing that everyone has got money saving on their mind.

You could help your money go further if you cut down on unsecured debt payments through debt consolidation if you can find the right deal. This might leave you with more cash in your pocket each month, although you will probably need to pay more in interest over the term.
