A mum is planning to make her Christmas dinner for less than £2.50 per person by buying her ingredients from Asda.
Alison Preest, 49, says people "shouldn't feel pressure" to overspend during the festive period. And, amid the cost of living crisis, the grandmother-of-one has worked out a way to cook at Christmas on the cheap.
Alison, from Gloucestershire, said: "Christmas can be so hyped up these days - there's a lot of pressure to go 'all out' and spend a fortune. But just cooking up a nice meal and sitting down with loved ones to enjoy it is nice - that's what Christmas dinner is about.
