Sainsburys had their standard mincemeat reduced from £1.65 to 16p, good to April 2024. Although it'll find it's way into porridge long before then. The luxury version was down to a pound a jar.
They also had Bisto gravy with xmas flavours at 20p for a Jar of Turkey/Cranberry flavour and 15p for a carton of pigs in blanket flavour.
Not really doing my store cupboard run down much good, especially when I add in the non-xmas offers I'd popped in to grab after being alerted to, namely flavoured chopped tomatoes in cartons (garlic/chilli/Herbs) at 30p rather than 60p and their Vegan Tuna substitute "No Chuna" at 15p a tin rather than £1.

All the Christmas sale food is gone at the massive Tesco near us - none of it got reduced much before being snapped up. There are some packs of cards for 50p and 30p, but I'm alright for cards for the next several years, so they'd need to be even cheaper than that to tempt me!

Lots of Christmas stock left at Lidl in Finsbury Park, London, when I dropped in last night

Just had a quick walk round local coop and they have some Christmasy things about half price and small YS reductions on day to day items. Just after New Year I got some really good reductions on fresh chicken at Sainsbury's - half price or less and last week there were a lot of really low priced cake, pastries and bread products at Tesco.2025 Decluttering Campaign 590/2025 🏅🏅🏅🏅(🏅🏅) 🌟🌟
