Hello and welcome to your personal finance roundup. I'm Alex Nelson from
00:05
National World, here to save your Christmas budget one tip at a time.
00:08
Let's dive in.
00:16
First up, and brace yourselves, Christmas dinner is hitting your wallet harder
00:21
than ever this year. The average cost for a festive feast before is up 6.5%, now
00:27
sitting at ÂŁ32.57. Why? Well, it's all down to higher prices for turkey,
00:33
vegetables, and surprisingly, potatoes. Yes, the humble spud has had a glow-up, and
00:39
with prices soaring by 16.2%, it's practically a luxury item. Meanwhile,
00:45
cauliflower is crashing your dinner at 14.6% more. Our advice? Skip the
00:50
pallid veg altogether and celebrate the real festive miracle. Sparkling wine
00:54
prices have remained flat since last year, so maybe cheap fizz might just save
00:58
the day. Next, Monzo users, your spending habits are in the spotlight. The bank has
01:05
launched its Year in Monzo, a spending recap inspired by Spotify wrapped.
01:09
Whether you'd like a nice report or a savage takedown of your habits, you'll
01:13
find it right at the top of your app. Perfect for anyone brave enough to face
01:17
the reality of their coffee addiction, or that one friend who refuses to split the
01:21
bill. And finally, some good news for NHS and HSE workers. Uber is spreading
01:27
Christmas cheer by offering two free ÂŁ10 rides to or from work on Christmas
01:31
Eve and Christmas Day, plus a ÂŁ10 Uber Eats voucher. If you're eligible, make
01:37
sure to link your NHS email to your Uber account before Friday the 20th of
01:40
December at 11.59pm. It's Uber's way of saying thank you to those working
01:45
tirelessly this festive season.
