Christmas money actions: helping you save money
Have a peaceful Christmas
Each weekday morning before Christmas 2011 we posted #moneyactions on our Twitter account – a small action you can do quickly and easy to help you save money every day.
On December 1st, with Christmas just around the corner, we launched our #xmasmoneyactions – the same straightforward and easy to achieve actions, but on a Christmas theme.
With the roll out of “embeddable” tweets, we can now post these on the MoneyAware blog as well, keeping all of our #xmasmoneyactions in one place and helping you if you miss one. We’ll update this list every weekday until Christmas with the latest tip.
If you have any Christmas money tips let us know, and read our frugal Christmas tips.
