Xmas Food Shop Intentions

PRDMKT

As I am starting to think about my next annual shop, I am curious to know where everyone else will be going this year.

There isn’t a none of the above option for me we don’t do Christmas we both hate it but it’s hard to ignore when the one day a year that it is starts before October.

I said Other because I'll split it between several shops, but I don't know which yet!

I used to get Christmas delivered from Sainsbury's, but they're getting really expensive for what feels like lower quality.  Plus their delivery service has been pants recently...

I really cannot get excited about Christmas food or doing a big shop for the occasion. We are lucky in the UK that we can take our pick of whatever food we wish, whenever we want it. There something for everything.

It's not one day, it's a whole season, although it starts on 25th December so we do tend to overdo the build-up in the UK!

If people stopped buying the stuff the second it hits the shelves, the shops would quickly get the message.

We had mince pies and xmas tree chocs out here before the kids went back to school!

Mnoee

I don't host Christmas, my choccies and other festive bits will be with my normal sainsbury's delivery.

We save our nectar points every year for the shop at Sainsbury's. Last 2 years I've spent no actual cash and have managed the lot on points.


This year that's looking less likely as sainsburys have had less points offers this year. 

Last year our turkey was rancid though😟 hoping for a better purchase this year

I usually manage to buy everything I need in advance added in gradually, over November and December, to my usual shopping. Then, Christmas week all I need is fresh veg.

Mostly I shop in Aldi.

Going away for Christmas having hosted it for 45 years! I cant wait!
