When is the best time for reduced food over Christmas?

Last Christmas we were really skint (Not as skint as this year, but that's another story!) and I went to Tesco on Christmas Eve and got a Tesco Finest turkey thing with stuffing, wrapped in parma ham for about £4. Worth a look!

boxing day is the best day and the 27th can be. Also the few days after 1st january. Before xmas everything sells out- and the reductions aren't that great either, not compared to the rest of the year.

Just my experience.

I'd rather boil my head than tackle a supermarket on christmas eve.

And pay for the privelage.

Ive also noticed over the last few years that meat and freezable food has got less & less on the bargin run on xmas eve/new yrs eve - usually pick up bread, veg, salad stuff, nuts etc at bargin prices, also last year stocked up on milk which we froze and that was 15p for 6pints

shall be there with the rest of our town ready for a manic run around the shop as the store announces where they are doing the next reductions.

I've always found best to try and take someone with you, 1 runner (so to speak-to get there when the announcement happens)and 1 trolley pusher

Hope you find some bargins!

Sainsburys is normally pretty good around 3pm on Christmas Eve

A ham would be tastier.

Last year I popped into ASDA at about midday on Christmas Eve on the way home from work and picked up loads of (freezable) fresh fish bargains. They were piling them high to get rid of with the two day break coming up.

The funniest thing you see on Christmas Eve is the supermarket shoppers with enormous trolley loads like they were preparing for nuclear war. The shops are only shut for two days.

I have to pratically go past an Asda on the way to meet OH from work, so may leave a bit earlier so I can go have a look

My mum goes every xmas eve to the supermarkets - past couple of years its been sainsburys but she plans to go to Asda this year. I'm the trolley pusher :xmassmile

Agree with most of you that the bargain prices have got less and less over the years but my fave is always the cream cakes
