Imnotcheap Agreed, it's the only way to shop. I will be writing a list, and then comparing the prices so I have maybe 3 supermarkets to visit.

If I do buy anything for Christmas it will be in Waitrose as this is where I usually shop, but this year I am out of the country until the 24th so not sure what we are doing yet.

I'll be doing mine at Asda. I have been saving my rewards on a savings card and I get 10% discount there. I'll be getting a few bits from other shops that Asda don't keep too.

All different shops for me can't say I'm looking forward to it as I hate food shopping

We have a Tesco delivery on the 22nd. Hopefully we will get everything, but we'll have backups anyway. Tesco are pretty good with subs too.

Usually we just do a big Tesco shop. This year tho we have some M&S vouchers to use so we will be doing ours there. Plus we have money in our Asda pot to use too, so that will get the alcohol. We don't buy our Christmas day meat. My OH grandfather is treating us to that as part of our gift. I'll nip to Aldi at some point too.

It will be all over the place, probably 4 different supermarkets around the 2 weeks of Christmas into the New Year.

Recent shops have been Tesco, Morrisons, Asda and Sainsburys mainly because of vouchers or discounted gift cards. I do little top up shops at Lidl and Aldi though on occasion.

We have been adding extra items over the last few weeks to our regular Tesco delivery - all booked up every 5 days as normal - but the fresh veg for Christmas comes from Riverford. This year I have £90 to spend on the Asda Rewards app Christmas saver card so will by getting the drinks from them. Pretty sure will pop into M&S at some stage for some extra treats too!

I’ve already reserved a shop and delivery with Morrison. I will hopefully do a shop and collect with Waitrose or better still have it delivered.

SamGoodship yes because I'm just getting turkey joint, pigs in blankets and Yorkshire puddings which are frozen. Then tinned potatoes and peas. Got packet mash potato, stuffing and gravy granuals already. Will also get a ham joint for fridge which normally has enough date on if not will eat before Christmas day. Plus some stuff for the fridge which will be to eat before Christmas day. So yes will have to go to the local shop to get maybe more fridge stuff, bread and milk but that's it.

Asda. Got my slot booked already.

But, I always go last minute to my local wee Tesco and see what bargains they're giving away on Xmas Eve.

Sainsbury’s. We received £150 supermarket vouchers from the council for people on a low income. We nominated Sainsbury's as we only have that and Waitrose in our small market town and Waitrose wasn’t on their list.
