Just wondering what day everyone is doing their christmas day food shop,we are doing most of ours friday. Last year we did in on the friday morning and it was so crazy.

Did most of it today. Will go an Aldi run for fizz and wine and a Tesco run for veg and beer over the weekend.

MarmaladeIsMyJam · 19/12/2018 19:40

Finished all of mine today apart from salad.

DonaldDucksTowel · 19/12/2018 19:42

I’m going on Friday, hope I can get everything in one go because I don’t plan to set foot in another shop after that

Veronicat · 19/12/2018 19:47

Mines being delivered on Saturday afternoon then if I need a top up I'll pop into the shop after work Monday.

Angelinthenight · 19/12/2018 19:50

I’m worried the fresh foods will be off so I’m leaving it until Sunday morning...

Ffsnosexallowed · 19/12/2018 19:54

Delivery on Saturday evening. Will pop out Monday morning if we've forgotten anything.

poorbuthappy · 19/12/2018 19:55

Tomorrow evening. My favourite shop at Christmas!!!

NoWordForFluffy · 19/12/2018 19:56

Tomorrow for most stuff here, with a trip to the butcher on Friday then a final trip to Booths on Sunday.

AppleBlossomArseCheeks · 19/12/2018 19:57

I did mine all online to be delivered Saturday, I'm hoping it all comes eek

QuackPorridgeBacon · 19/12/2018 19:57

Was meant to be here tomorrow, was hoping my money would be in then. It won’t now until Friday and there are no more slots. Going to have to go out and do it Friday at some point.

Drogonssmile · 19/12/2018 19:59

Somehow I managed to get an Xmas eve 8-9am online delivery slot so I'm pretty much sorted. I hope!

KittenEsque · 19/12/2018 20:00

Deliveries in Friday and Sunday, go to shops on Saturday.

MaitlandGirl · 19/12/2018 20:02

I’ve done mine over the past couple of weeks so I’ve just got fresh veg and prawns to get on Monday. I’ll be in the supermarket at 6am with DD2 grabbing those bits then home by 6:45.

The only problem now is I’ve got a kitchen full of food I can’t eat till Tuesday!

violeticecream · 19/12/2018 20:02

Either Friday or Saturday morning. It will be hell probably! Not sure about salad though. Needs to be Xmas eve really but will there be any left.... when is everyone getting their salad?

SillySallySingsSongs · 19/12/2018 20:02

Early Friday morning.

Girlicorne · 19/12/2018 20:18

I ll go late Saturday night for booze and snacks, our xmas eve buffet and xmas eve elf breakfast but we have xmas dinner pre ordered at m and s, I m picking this up 9am Christmas Eve. I went to ASDA this morning to ick up some teacher presents and food for the DC xmas parties at school tomorrow and it was ridiculously busy.

NoWordForFluffy · 19/12/2018 20:21

I'm picking up my salads from Booths on Sunday. They aren't lettuce-based though.

What day are u food shopping?
Graphista · 19/12/2018 20:47

Just added to my online order being delivered sat.

Nervous, I can't currently cope with standing for ages slicing & chopping veg (disability playing up) so it's pre-prepped this year, I'm worried about dates. Have cleared out freezer, may pop fresh veggies in freezer - can I do that?

Carrot batons & ready to roast honey mustard buttery parsnips

Ugh! Says carrots can't be frozen - why?

lucysmam · 19/12/2018 21:04

My online shop's being delivered tomorrow morning. Anything missing, I'll pick up with the girls on Christmas Eve when we go for our usual wander round the market and hot chocolate. Anything we forget, or they haven't got, we'll do without.

Merrychristmasyoufilthyanimals · 19/12/2018 21:15

Just done 75% of it today but due to room in the fridge ill be buying Saturday nights pizzas and xmas eve buffet on Saturday. It seems to be never bloody ending any of it! Xx

NerosFiddle · 19/12/2018 21:22

My 1st order came today and my next one will be on Sunday morning. I have to collect my turkey and ham from the butchers on Christmas Eve and one of the desserts from the bakery then too. If anything is missing I'll have to go to my local shop and get it.

FilthyforFirth · 19/12/2018 21:27

Cant go til Sat morning, freaking out! Will be bad but gotta suck it up. Main shop at Tescos, fancy extras Marks.

poppyseed2 · 19/12/2018 21:32

Meat has been ordered from the butcher. First round of groceries tomorrow with a top up for perishables on Christmas Eve.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 19/12/2018 21:34

Turkey and other last minute fresh stuff, as soon as M&S opens on Sunday morning.
Anything else I haven't already got - not much - Friday or Saturday.
