Lucy Nevins is a mother of two who began Christmas shopping in September and uses an Excel budgeting tool to track expenses. She estimates that she will spend close to €2,000 over the festive season and expects not to get much change from that amount. She buys gifts for family and friends and stocks the cupboards with treats to cater for visitors and her own household. She tries to spread the cost by purchasing early, but the cumulative spending still results in a substantial overall holiday bill.
