As the temperature outside takes a dip, Christmas preparations are hotting up on the MSE Forum with Advent competitions, a seasonal savings challenge and MoneySavers in search of the perfect present.

This week on the MSE Forum, MoneySavers have posed questions about how to cut their spending and how to make wise choices when picking a product.

This week we have heard some great examples of how embracing all things MSE can make a life-changing difference, whether it's by reclaiming thousands of pounds cash you've overpaid or by winning a once-in-a-lifetime holiday in a competition you've found via the Forum.

Have yourself a merry homemade Christmas and take inspiration from the DIY exploits of MSE HQ and friends. By making their own wreaths, baubles, cards and other decorations using foraged or recycled materials, these MoneySavers cut down on a little of the waste and a lot of the expense of Christmastime. (And it's fun too.)

We love hearing how the MSE Forum has helped inspire MoneySavers to reach their goals, whether it's paying off a mortgage or achieving debt-free status. This week one Forumite told us how tips from the Forum had made a difference to them.

Whilst MSE's experts have been crunching the data to work out what the Budget means for your pocket, this week the Forum has asked and answered the usual array of MoneySaving questions, from the trivial to the life-changing.
