Saving for Christmas 2022 - £1 a day challenge

Checking in with June's update of £30 so total is now

#12 £222/£365

I can't quite believe that I've actually kept going with this challenge - I'm usually rubbish at this sort of thing. It feels good to be being a bit more disciplined about things (and I'm looking forward to spending the money ).

Thank you for the challenge @kdalwayskint and well done to everyone on your savings.

Decided to set up a regular monthly payment of £5 to an asd@ Christmas savings card. Usually I put loads on just before the bonus cut off date to get the bonus, but this year I'm doing it a bit differently. By October I will have saved £100 so won't need to top up as much from October's income. Compared to interest rates it's not a bad return.

#2 now with £670/£730.  Looking forward to smashing that last £60 - then I'm on to the challenge of saving for a mega-holiday in October 2023.

And here I am again - #2, now with £730/£730.  I'm now concentrating on saving for 'something special' at the end of next year.  Good luck everybody with your savings.. I've been able to achieve mine purely by using 4 different sources:

• Prolific Academy surveys
• Swapping out Nectar points for Argos purchases (mainly children's Xmas/birthday presents that were already budgeted for)
• Using my 'Nectar prices' discounts and then re-paying them to me from my food budget... between £2 and £4 per week
• Levelling up all of my expenditure on Starling... 4p here and 65p there soon mounts up.

Other ideas....

• Not a big fan of TopCashback, but currently have £36.45 confirmed so that will be in the bag soon....  
• Our NatWest rewards account gives us another £36 (net) every year.  
• Cashback on my Barclaycard Rewards account can be anything from 10p to £5 each month - it may only be 0.25% back, but every little counts!

Good luck peeps!

Looking forward to having a stress free christmas, especially as my hours at work have been cut and I'm not allowed to bank hours anymore to help with holiday pay
