Make the most of home

How To Guide

Socialising doesn’t have to be a strain on the finances – your home offers a great space for spending time with friends, which means you save money by not going out.

  • If you have outdoor space, spruce it up with coloured pots and bunting, inexpensive foldaway garden furniture and plants
  • Use your outdoor space for summery social occasions: eating al fresco, backyard buffets, barbecues or even your own mini garden festival!
  • Meals out can be very expensive. Instead, have friends round for dinner, and get recipe inspiration at C4 Food. Hate cooking? Luxury ready-meals or takeaways can cost less than £10 per head http://www.channel4.com/food/recipes/
  • Make your dining space look extra special: dress the table using a tablecloth, table runner, crockery and candles. Find bargains at Ikea and TK Maxx
  • Create a sense of occasion: send out invitations, dictate the dress code and even have a cocktail reception.
  • Loved the items and accessories you saw in the programme? See our Shopping List to get the look
