This thread is lovely, thanks Op and great for ideas! I have only bought early due to lots of bargain offers so:

Morrisons bargain thread offer: turkey, ham, 3x large salmon, Xmas party food x3

Amazon early prime: sherry (likely will be well down!), gin, vodka

M&S Sloe gin (down to £5!)

Florentines!

Quite a way through. I'm not buying chocs this year, we had loads gifted last year. I'm hoping to make Xmas puds. Now trawling through the thread to see what else I need!

2 boxes of paxo stuffing
1 bottle of Baileys (the first of many!)

Just got a large box mixed Lindor in Sainsbury's, £7 Nectar price instead of £9.50

Bought:

Fig jam
Ale chutney
Horseradish and mustard
Couple more craft ales to add to the craft beer cans I got last week

Added that to the Christmas cheese crackers.

I've been asked to donate something gold to the PTA's rainbow hamper fundraiser. Does anybody have any ideas what 'gold' food I can get for that?

Have now bought the chicken! We don't eat Turkey so I buy a lovely chicken when I spot a bargain.

This is a £19 chicken that I got for a tenner so it's in the deep freeze now

Vodka
Chestnuts
Picked onions
Beetroot
Trifle mix
Made and wrapped up the cake ready to marzipan and ice in December.

@TheOwlChronicles we have chicken in place of Turkey as well, usually as a second meat. This year I've ordered a nice sirloin joint and 2 small chicks from the Cornwall company due the 23rd along with a Tunis cake for the in laws and a few other bits.
Have done the cheese order this week also and stocked up on nuts and different types of shortbread.

I was going to add to my list of things I have bought but have forgotten what I have bought . I have most the essentials except for fresh , but the piles just keep growing and they are scattered around the house now 🤦🏻‍♀️. I once found a lost xmas pud in July .
But please keep adding your finds so I can steal them .
