I have left buying turkey etc til xmas eve in the past, but this year our local stores have sold all their turkeys (been keeping an eye on them and got one yesterday) Will go later to supplement the larder - see what they have got.

last year left it too late for any Asda xmas eve reductions (got there @2 closed @4).
Today Im going to try about 1ish.
Probably still too latethough !!
By the way you can freeze all the party food which they always seem to have left @ giveaway prices.

I just got back from my Sainsbury's (small-sized one), the only big discounts yet are the breads (about 80-90% off), fruits (50% off), some of the prepared meals/etc about 50% off (normal reduction prices).

I may try up there again after 1pm, but nothing too major yet.

Just got back from my local Tesco, a quite small store, and they were reducing all Christmas stuff by 50% - turkeys, stuffing, bread sauce, sausages in bacon etc. As I had already got everything for Christmas day, got another 'Christmas dinner' to freeze for a week or so later! There was quite a bit left, but after they announced the reductions over the tannoy, there was a mini scrum around the seasonal aisle, and a lot went quite quickly.

As a side comment, used about £7 of coupons, so our new year's Christmas dinner cost about £5.

I've learnt so much on here in 2006, and I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, and a bargain filled new year!

Our Tescos last year were actually giving fresh produce away as you left. There was a pallet full of sprouts with a "Help yourself" sign and they were handing out bags of potatoes etc

This was about 20 minutes before it closed

People being sociable at this time of year, whatever next...

Probably just trying to look nonchalent until the markdown gun approaches.

Asda is open 10.30 till 4pm but you could go at 9.30 and shop, i was there at 9.30 and fresh meat etc with dates 25/26/27 was half price, pizza 50p they were also reducing xmas tinsel, blow up santas etc i dont think there would be much left at this branch because there wasnt much in way of fresh produce out......hope it helps
