The cost of living crisis is showing no signs of easing up, even as we enter the Christmas period.
While many households might be worrying about whether they can still enjoy the festivities this year, there are small steps you can take to manage costs. From freezing some foods early (a great option if you spot some bargains now) to knowing how to properly keep your turkey and trimmings, it wont feel like one huge expense.
