Hi oneeyedraven my is all booked for the 19th December. Has I am disabled this is much easier for me. Because from now on supper markets will be packed. And I don't fancy get a troll bang in to me. Because it hurts like hell

and they never every say sorry. They just look at you. Very rude. But that how it's getting and it's only for about one day. Boxing day they be back out for sales. And Next week be worse because of new year and new years day. There will be people grabbing all the drink. So I've done a big shop to last me well into January 2020. Have a lovely Christmas when it comes. 🎅🤶🎄

My mum is doing hers on Monday. She has a number of things in the freezer already but will get the rest of what she needs then. I would normally buy it a few days beforehand too, so the 22nd or 23rd.

We shop Christmas eve these days. In the past we avoided the supermarket on Christmas eve thinking it would be too crazy, but it seems everybody thinks this way and avoids it, we've had no problems for the last 2 years

Do not do big shop, just small ones.

Already got the meat for the main meal and ordered everything else....so just pick it up from Sainsburys

I will go shopping on Thursday this week for any essentials, will buy the beef on offer for freezing and then go and buy my fresh veg, bread rolls and dairy on Monday evening, as it should be a bit quieter in the shops then.👍
