Half a tin of biscuits, half a tub of crackers for cheese, several types of cheese, a tub of dips, half a box of truffles, a box of brandy snaps. Plus a couple of gift bags full of chocolates and sweets that the kids were given.

Half a Christmas cake, a bit of cheese (nearly all gone) and crackers, some mince pies and gingerbread biscuits which never seem to reduce in number no matter how many we eat, several boxes of chocolates (gifts) half a Christmas pudding and some peanuts and pistachios. And loads of turkey in the freezer.

The trouble is we went away on Boxing Day but still shopped as though we were here for the whole time so we just came back to it all. (And we took a massive tin of the mince pies and gingerbread with us!)

TeacupDrama · 31/12/2018 14:11

1/2 a gingerbread house
some red cabbage will be gone tonight
a bit of cheese but it keeps weeks
3/4 of a stollen I bought 1 and got given another I love it so it will be good
some chocolates really good ones to be kept and savoured 1 each evening with my after dinner coffee

ColdTattyWaitingForSummer · 31/12/2018 14:19

Lots of chocolate!! (That’s fine.. I’m going to savour it and have a little each night..)
The last of the turkey (mostly scraps, probably destined for the cat now!)
A bottle of Buck’s Fizz (will take to a thing tonight).
A few too many biscuits (will probably take to church when it’s my turn on the teas).
And that’s pretty much it.

jmh740 · 31/12/2018 14:33

We still have 8 tubs of Pringles, cheese,dips, Xmas cake, half a bottle of advocat, 1 and half bottle fake Malibu 1 and a half bottles of fake Tia Maria. I bought a bottle of each then found full bottles left from last year

Onlyjoinedforthisthread · 31/12/2018 14:37

Nothing left that we bought but all the crap people bought us that we don't eat, almond biscuits, crackers, shortbread etc, it'll end up on a shelf forgotten about and then binned, should really take it to the food bank

DickTurpinsHat · 31/12/2018 14:44

Just scoffing some more Stilton and crackers, so some cheese.
A whole homemade Christmas cake, untouched.
Two half eaten tubs of QS/Celebrations.
Spare sausagemeat and pigs in blankets have gone in the freezer.
A times b of pringles.
Remains of the ham, that's going in the food waste sadly.
Some nuts.
A whole chocolate cake.

We didn't really buy that much and didn't eat that much either.

yomellamoHelly · 31/12/2018 14:50

Still got some money left on the tree. (We rehashed leftovers last night.) Have just gone and restocked ready for new year. :) :)

KimchiLaLa · 31/12/2018 14:53

None. I gave most of it away to the guests after the meal (around two foil baking trays each), kept some veg to make a soup and a plate of the rest of the food for DH's lunch on Boxing Day, got DH to have the smoked salmon that was left for lunch on the 27th, gave the remains of the cheeseboard to my MIL, and made a mac and cheese with pigs in blankets and bacon mixed in on Friday for DH's dinner (I am vegetarian). Done. Looking forward to getting fruit and veg in for the next shop.

Starlight90 · 31/12/2018 14:55

Most of it. Been ill so nothing really eaten. But its just cheese, pate and ham which I always have a load of so not really left over and it will be eaten

KimchiLaLa · 31/12/2018 15:05

Oh yes - we do have a pannetone, box of family circle, toblerone and M&S box of chocs given as gifts. Totally unopened. We will need to re-gift or take to a food bank (?). We won't get through them ourselves (just me, DH and baby DD).

UnreasonablyPissedOff · 31/12/2018 15:09

We have very little left from Christmas apart from the ham which I ended up not cooking but freezing along with the red cabbage so we can look forward to that next week.

However we have a large family meal tomorrow so just back from shopping for that and have spent another £120 but that will feed 12 people 3 courses with wine etc and we have have lots of leftovers from that so see us through the week ahead.

We got no edible gifts this year...which is surprising!

Harryo · 31/12/2018 15:13

One box of mince pies, one mini xmas pud and bottle of mulled wine as we weren't very well over xmas with the cold lurgy that's doing the rounds. I don't buy much extra for xmas usually, just better quality than usual.

Writersblock2 · 31/12/2018 15:17

Too much. We had just enough to go through to Boxing Day but then we’re gifted A LOT. I feel sick just looking at it all now.

Writersblock2 · 31/12/2018 15:17

*were

Maelstrop · 31/12/2018 15:24

Little bit of cheese.
One Lindt cracker.
One small box of Dairy Milk.

To be fair, I was away for Christmas so we didn't buy much. I think I won't go mad next time either, it's just so wasteful/gluttonous.

Battenburg1978 · 31/12/2018 15:24

I hope your relative pulls through soon Kintan.

We don't have much left, shame as I love the Christmas leftovers!

Goose fat (will be used for January roast spuds)
Crackers (cheese now gone)
4 mini Christmas puds
Jar of mincemeat
I stocked up on 20p veg which will make soups for January lunches
2 chocolate oranges

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 31/12/2018 15:43

xmas cake, an xmas pudding in the cupboard, mince pies and stollen, bit of christmas day chicken half the boxing day gammon, all veg fried and eaten yesterday, cheese going rapidly, half a tub of pate and an unopened tub of olives.... oh and lots of alcohol.

Saz41 · 31/12/2018 16:16

A pannetone, turkey and beef in freezer, cheese, christmas pud, biscuits, sweets, tub of turkey gravy

GodknowsIwanttobreakfree · 31/12/2018 16:19

One Camembert
Three boxes of chocolates
Cranberry sauce
Half a bottle of Baileys (won’t be there long)

SteakPie · 31/12/2018 16:21

Most of it has gone.

Still have a Christmas cake though!

And plenty of cheese.

RoseMartha · 31/12/2018 16:26

Some chocolate
Some sweets
Biscuits

IncyWincyGrownUp · 31/12/2018 16:28

No meat, we planned and executed an epic set of meal plans.

We’ve got all the chocolate and half the savoury snacks left though. Nobody can be bothered.

Gotstuckwiththisname · 31/12/2018 16:31

Unopened box of M&S chocolate biscuits
1.5 chocolate oranges
About 1/3 tub of celebrations
2 mini mince pies
A few crackers
A few ends of cheese
A panettone
One turkey leg
Liqueur chocolates, but I think they will be donated as we don't like them
2 single matchmakers (think these will be eaten by the time I get home!!)

Gotstuckwiththisname · 31/12/2018 16:31

oh and a pot of extra thick vanilla cream
