UK consumers are expected to fork out over £700 per household for Christmas this year, despite a cost of living crisis and over 7 million low-income households going without essentials in 2024.

1. That seems low considering the cost of a Christmas dinner etc .

2. Glad someone still acknowledges there is still a Cost of living crisis deepening. I thought the term had been white washed since Labour came to power…

3. Imagine living in a world where you have to spend money to have the things you need and want, and have no other option. Wild stuff.

4. How dare we enjoy the one day of the year when people splash out.

5. If people don’t even have £700 to spend once a year, then it’s not a cost of living crisis, but plain serfdom

6. Might need another article to explaining how averages work and can be skewed heavily by outliers.

   A lot of people won’t have 700 to spend, even though it isn’t really that much money in the context of “once a year party/present buying”

7. I seriously doubt how they got £700. Ours was only just over £100.
