To think I'll be able to get a sodding turkey?

[FourForYouGlenCoco]

Doing the second half of the big Xmas shop tomorrow morning. DH is convinced turkey will be sold out everywhere and there'll be none to be found. I think there'll be plenty and he's being a paranoid knob (also, it's a turkey, big fucking deal). Who is right?

The last couple of years there have always been plenty of turkeys being sold off cheap after Christmas in m&s etc after Christmas so I'd be surprised if they sold out tbh.

Just Beene admitted to hospital. DH at work to morrow. Asked him to pick up turkey and bits in case I come out Christmas Day. We have a turkey crown mince pies and Jaffa cakes.

i don't think my Christmas dinner will be as exciting as zzzz's

There were loads in M&S yesterday,it was one of those small M&S shops and no one seemed to be buying any of the turkeys in there.

LOADS in Tesco today near me

Just got back from shopping, both Morrisons and Aldi had loads of turkeys.

I have often bought fresh turkey on Christmas Eve. Go out early to avoid the rush. It will be fine.

Co-op just before 8pm tomorrow 75% off. Hold your nerve OP

went to asda last night and freezers were broken, they were chucking loads of stuff away as it was all defrosting and warm, think they had a bit of a prob as the lights kept going out and water was pouting thru the ceiling! (big major shop in our town) glad i only went for some veg!

zzzzz fab autocorrect i,d love a couple of fucks merry xmas

I still remember the Great Swede Shortage of 2014. There was nearly a riot in Waitrose.

I got the last one in the local corner shop and narrowly escaped a raging lynch mob as a result.

Definitely get there early.

Very few turkeys in lidl last night, but lots of smoked salmon. Loads of veg too. Parsnips and sprouts were a bargainous 29p a packet.

I haven't ordered a turkey for years. Usually get DH to get one in Central London on 23rd/24th but was passing M & S on Tuesday so picked one up off the shelf then.

Unless you live somewhere where there's only one supermarket for miles, I'm sure there will be loads of choice.

Pasithea oh no I hope you're not too poorly?

Lots of turkeys in the mahoosive Tesco near us today. The most impressive sight was the bread though, that aisle was double stacked with crates of the stuff. I felt quite inadequate buying a small white loaf and half a dozen bread cakes :o

I suppose that the staff must benefit from xmas eve leftovers and get to buy it all for pennies with staff discount. I used to have a friend who worked for one and her fridge was stuffed with reduced sticker items.

Absolutely! Every year our waitrose has masses of turkeys hugely reduced in Xmas eve afternoon, going for a tenner or so each. I always get upset about the waste.
