Celebrating Christmas For Less With FancyDressShack.co.uk

Online, December 21, 2012 (Newswire.com) - FancyDressShack.co.uk, online retailers of fancy dress costumes, reveals ways to save money on the cost of celebrating Christmas for less due to the current economic climate putting a strain on family spending budgets.

Christmas is a time of celebration. Families come together to celebrate, give and receive gifts and share their progress from the past year. For many family members it is the only opportunity to see all their relations, or any at all.

Considering the natural significance of this opportunity there tends to be a high expenditure. Money gets spent on decorations, food and presents. The BBC recently reported the average household Christmas budget stood at £682, a hefty amount. Breaking this figure down, the Telegraph estimated parents will spend at least £112.50 at Christmas on each of their children, though this number grows when there are fewer children in the family unit. Nonetheless the impression is obvious, that families can expect to spend a lot of money this Christmas.

Online news publication express.co.uk recently outlined fifty different ways families can save money on their Christmas spending. Don't be afraid to shop around for deals, and once customers find one they should be sure to use the loyalty cards and seasonal vouchers most stores promote. Making a meaningful saving on the small necessities doesn't have to be difficult.

In keeping with the celebratory tone, Christmas fancy dress parties are a regular occurrence. Yet the cost of a costume remains prohibitive, especially combined with the existing price of the season. Jack Munton, Customer Service Manager for FancyDressShack.co.uk outlined the company's approach, "We've already had many people buying their Christmas fancy dress from us this year. To help people save money on their fancy dress we've got a range of cheap Christmas themed costumes for people to buy and wear to whatever events they're set on attending."

Despite economic reports claiming, as of October, Britain has emerged from the recession, wages are still below inflation and the public is naturally short of money. But when people are trimming their budgets Christmas will be one of the first unnecessary expenditures consumers turn their cautious gaze towards.
