Saving for Christmas 2025 - £1 a day

kdalwayskint

The Aim: To save a £1 a day from 1st December 2024 to 30th November 2025. How you save your £1 doesn't really matter, whether it be a £1 in a tin, an on-line account or anywhere else that suits you.

🎄 Getting ready for Christmas 2025 - save £1 a day challenge 🎄

Also, I just want to say, you don't have to save £1 a day, do what is right for you. Any amount you manage to save is a help towards Christmas next year

I know a few of us have enjoyed doing this challenge over the years so I thought I'd host it again this year, please let me know if someone else has already started, if not here we go

We will open our tins or have access to our accounts on 1st December 2025 and declare total amounts saved.

Then it's spend, spend, spend for Christmas 2025 on whatever you like.

You soon get into the habit of putting a £1 a day away and just think this time next year you will have a healthy chunk of money towards the expense of Christmas

If you would like to join in pop your name down and the amount you are aiming for, I will allocate a number for you.

Please note, I have copied  last year's information for the beginning of this thread.

So the plan is to spend £365 in Dec 2025 rather than just £100?

kdalwayskint

Well you can save any amount you like -  if your target is £100 that is fine too - it's what ever works for you

The point I was making is that if you're building up a pot of cash to spend, there's a temptation to spend the entire pot rather than just spend what you need.

By keeping your regular costs as low as possible, the balance of your account should grow and once it has reached the amount needed to cover your planned expense, you can spend it.

Count me in - I cannot wait to SPEND my £730 - every single penny!

Aiming for £2 a day.

Great idea, aiming to save £3 per day and cut back on monthly expenses to save for it.
Getting married in 2026 so every little helps 👍
