when do you all do your big Christmas shop etc Im thinking of veg and dairy I want them to last but would I but crazy to leave it until Christmas eve?? TIA
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.
January sales I get most of it done and over with then I top up throughout the year my kids are both older and don’t Mind particularly what they get and we dont make Christmas lists so it’s a lot easier x
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.
Big Tesco shop ordered for delivery on Saturday will be getting Duck & meat for Christmas day from local butchers on Monday. Will pop in to Tesco Christmas eve for fresh items we need.
All Grocery/Frozen items will be bought in Thursday before my kids break up, so then i just have all dairy and chilled, fresh veg to buy which will be bought Monday
