Sharing a little wisdom from experience—here’s how I’ve tackled the challenge of having a gluten-free Christmas on a budget in the past.
Prioritise Your Essentials
Focus on your must-have holiday dishes and look for gluten-free alternatives for the staples. Skip unnecessary extras to keep costs down.
Shop Smart
Supermarkets now offer own-brand gluten-free items that are cheaper than premium brands. Compare prices and hunt for deals.
Cook from Scratch
Making things like stuffing or desserts yourself is often cheaper and tastier than buying pre-made versions.
Plan Ahead
Write out your Christmas menu to avoid overbuying. Naturally gluten-free foods—like potatoes, veggies, and meats—are budget-friendly staples.
Stock Up After Christmas
Take advantage of post-holiday sales to grab discounted gluten-free items and stock your pantry for the year ahead.
Recipes, recipes, recipes
Instagram and other social media platforms are a goldmine for recipes, especially at Christmas. Take a look around and save anything that catches your eye!
