The size of the turkey seems so disproportionately small compared to the amount of the rest of the food. How many are you feeding?

Yes - my home grown vegetables always tasted so much worse than supermarket offerings.

Home grown tomatoes - I’m looking at you! So much worse than Ocado’s offerings!

My broccoli was so bitter even the rabbits wont eat it! 😬

I see this post has brought all the bosom hoiking judgy pants posters along.
Yes you can probably buy cheaper. And yes you can probably buy less processed. You can't have both at the same time.

But you know what, that is not what the OP asked. Nor did she ask for your approval of her choices.

9 I did think that about the turkey. I was thinking about adding a chicken. I still got a few bits to add to the main dinner. I'm going aldi tomorrow morning.

Edit as I was meant to say feeding 9

@CantHoldMeDown a lovely Christmas dinner with family will do more for their mental health than anything else

Ultra processed food. You could have spent a lot less if you’d not bought all the ready made stuff. Peeling a few spuds and wrapping a bit of bacon round a sausage is hardly arduous, and you’d have less cause to complain about the cost then.

Also, I can’t think of anything worse than a shop bought cheesecake. To make a cheesecake you bash some biscuits, mix them with melted butter, pat them down in a tin or even on a plate, mix some cream cheese with icing sugar and your preferred flavouring, blob in on the top. Done. I like ginger biscuit base and lime flavoured cheese, with either dark chocolate or ginger on top. Best served freshly made, it goes a bit soggy if you leave it too long, but leaving it too long rarely happens round here! Shop bought cheesecake is always soggy, and packed with preservatives. 🤮

I also eat shit at Christmas, but I think my idea of shit is different to the OP’s.

What a peach. I bet you are a laugh a minute around the dinner table. Or did I miss the title where it said please judge me on my Christmas shopping

I knew the food snobs would be out on this thread as soon as I saw it and I was right - Merry Christmas you get a fridge - oops wrong thread. But the food snobs head over to the Christmas Fridge thread where you can lord your superiority over everyone with your organic sprouts and free range partridge when everyone shows off their packed fridges full of processed hams and cheese.

There’s a Christmas fridge thread?!

It was in the OP’s small print, just after the bit that says ‘I can moan, but none of you lot can answer.’ OP can say her bit? So can the rest of us. So can you. No one minds if everyone chips in with their opinions.

Anyway. For the poster wondering how much the processed shite costs - the Auntie Bessie’s potatoes are currently in Tesco at £4.50 for a 700g bag, reduced to £2.50 if you’ve got a Clubcard. Normal potatoes are £1.35 for 2kg, or 15p - yes, fifteen pence! - with your Clubcard. And 60p for a block of lard. And they’ll taste better and there’ll be enough to feed 9 people.

You can eat good food, you can even eat good cheap food. But I think if you want to have someone else make it for you then you can’t have good cheap ready made food. If I had 9 people round the table for Christmas (and I’ve got more than that this year) I’d be having someone else peel the spuds. With a big glass of mulled wine/baileys/champagne/whatever your drink is at Christmas.

Someone above said i should do better for 2025. I will definitely do that . I have asked for books to teach me about organic growing. Also bee keeping. The home raised turkey seems a bit more complicated. But hopefully someone can help me with that . 🦃

Haha! Do Christmas your way and screw everyone else.

There's a lot on here who give Amanda from Motherland vibes. 😒

Tricky cos I'm not sure if you've got Xmas bargains or Xmas ripoffs!

Have only read OP so now I'll see if there is a reply and how far off I am.

needsomewarmsunshine · 18/12/2024 13:03

A BIG FUCK RIGHT OFF to the so called food snobs - news alert - everyone is different.
OP enjoy your christmas however you spend it and enjoy the food. There will be pp on here bigging themselves up but when truth be known are living day to day financially. As we all know so many people talk a load of shite on here when it comes to money and how much they have.

Silvers11 · 18/12/2024 13:04

Well I guessed £70 and I too was assuming possession of a club card! That was before I saw your post, even although my post came a bit after.
