How soon after Christmas Day will you be food shopping again?

Options
This fascinates me somewhat. Despite the food shops all heaving until closing time on Xmas Eve and everyone stockpiling food like it was going out of fashion- the food shops will undoubtedly be heaving again on Boxing Day with trolleys piled high with food.

Of course REAL Old Stylers will not be amongst the crowds so soon after the big day buying more food....

Or will they?

Merry Christmas to all.

    providing I'm well enough to make some shortbread for new year that is

    I meal planned for a fortnight from Monday so we shouldn't need anything until the 4th but if we have people over for New Year then I will have to go out for some stuff. Bit undecided yet about what we are up to so its on the back burner for now.

    NEVER - sorry, that's wishful thinking. We'll get through until the middle of January apart from fresh fruit and milk. xx

    We're away for Christmas so will need to stock up on milk, dairy, fruit and veg when we get home.

    Will keep eyes peeled for YS items of course.
