Think ahead

You could probably buy quite a cheap Christmas tree right now as it would still be quite small but by the time Christmas comes around it will be just right and you would of saved quite a few £$¥€.

This strategy also works with turkeys so if you're America and want one for Thanksgiving then think smart and buy a smaller bird today for just a few dollars then sit back and wait. In just a couple months while your neighbors are fighting over them over priced frozen pumped full of shit turkeys, you have a top quality free range fresh bird for a fraction of the price.

If you are English and are partial to the old pigs in blankets with your Christmas turkey then make use of the same strategy and buy a small pig today ;-)
