Tips for festive feasting on a budget

On this episode Danni and Laura are getting into the Christmas spirit, but after a year of soaring food prices we’re thinking hard about budgeting for the big day. The Christmas food shop is a big one – and it’s likely to be a whopper this year.

Danni catches up with Mimi Harrison, blogger, author and the Instagram legend known as “Beat the Budget”, who has tips to make your food shop stretch really far. Plus, Laura chats to Catherine Shuttleworth from Savvy Marketing – to learn how to avoid the supermarket tricks that make you spend more and how to save money this festive season.
