How much was your Christmas supermarket shop?

[OutOfMyDepth86]

The prices are absolutely crazy this year, our supermarket shop is ridiculously expensive at £347! I have another delivery booked for New Year’s Eve but will make adjustments depending on what’s left over. We are a family of 5 not hosting Christmas dinner have the in-laws over on Christmas Eve where we will be having pizza counter pizzas with sides all of which is in the shop, the turkey/pigs/sausage meat stuff is not included in this total as is from the butchers.
AIBU to ask how much your Christmas shop was?

@headcheffer £60?? I salute you. How are you only paying that when a medium size turkey is £30 at Tesco? No booze? The Christmas cake I bought was £18.

About a grand. We host a big get together tomorrow night for 20 and then christmas for about 14 and an additional 7 in the evening but go away the day after Boxing Day so it’s also including general food for the week.
ocado this morning was £350, meat from
the butchers was around £300, booze was £400 but we have forgotten a few things so I will go out tomorrow morning for the last few things.

My Ocado shop is £287, not including meat, vegetables or booze!

4 of us with an extra 2 for xmas dinner and I spent about £150 over two trips. And prob don’t have quite everything so it will end up a bit more than that

We spent about £200 , this does not include alcohol but one teetotal and one very light drinker so that additional spend is not much.

Thats three days of 4/5/6 people.

Pork was £10, Beef was £18, Turkey crown was £25 and Leg of Lamb was £15 the pork and beef in Aldi were half price. Bought veg all for 15p each in Tesco so multiple, spuds, carrots, Brussels and parsnips. I bought Stilton, Brie and around 8 other cheeses as well. We have Christmas pud and cream one day and I’m making a trifle for Boxing Day and a pavlova for the other day. There is so much meat we will have plenty for cold meat for a buffet least twice.
@Boomboom22 I have some frozen and some fresh pigs in blankets total is 60 for 4 of us plus lots for Boxing Day. I’m making a giant pig in a blanket as well with sausagemeat for Christmas eve with Yorkshire puddings.

How are you only paying that when a medium size turkey is £30 at Tesco?

We bought a free range Waitrose stuffed chicken for £12 that feeds 8

Absolutely no idea as been buying in since start of november with the non perishable bits.

Not everyone has turkey. We bought a large stuffed chicken from ASDA for £10 which feeds six.

Meat order collecting tomorrow £60 (turkey, pigs in blankets, rib of beef and gammon joint which is about 5 dinners and a few lunches and evening grazing)

Aldi £74 (veg, alcohol, cheese, nibbles, beef wellington for New Year’s Eve dinner, frozen pizzas/flatbreads for days around new year)

Waitrose £33 (fish for Xmas eve, bits for blinis)

Asda £0 (technically £60 but we used our savings card. Cream, cheeses, soups, bits we couldn’t get in Aldi, plus some frozen breakfast pastries)

Greengrocer £16 (fruit and DHs dates)

Tesco £21 (puff pastry, foil trays, lunch for today)

Iceland £20 alcohol as they’re the only place that now still stocks the wine we like)

Total spent £224 for 3 people for 6/7 days

£310 plus 170 on meat and pies. But that's feeding 8 on Christmas Day, some for brunch on Boxing Day and 7 over the new year weekend

Only doing a normal shop apart from cheeses and pates for Christmas Eve there’s only myself Dh Dd and her boyfriend .We are at my mil’s Christmas Day and fil’s Boxing Day
My mum gives us vouchers every year she has done it since myself and Dh first moved in together about 30 years ago this year we have £200 for Sainsburys and £150 for Tesco have spent £80 in Sainsburys and going to pick up a few bits tomorrow the Tesco one I’ll use in the New Year

We’re doing Christmas dinner for 9. Spent £84 today on the “big shop” (lidls) plus £20 in sainsburys on stuff we couldn’t find in lidls, we’d already bought and frozen the turkey, sausage meat, smoked salmon and pigs in blankets. So probably £150-£160 total for the Christmas shop. I didn’t think that was too bad!

I haven’t done mine yet, collecting half tomorrow (£50, Turkey, potatoes, pigs in blankets, cheese and Yule log) the rest I will be getting in Christmas Eve and I don’t plan on spending more than £50, so £100 for 4 adults, no drink.

I'm just finishing our Ocado delivery for Sunday, it's currently at £180 - includes all trimmings, alcohol, a few nice puddings, breakfast. Turkey not included as that's being collected from the butcher tomorrow.

I also ordered a few extra bits, like a new Pyrex dish and wrapping paper to stock up

About £360,that's for all of the food and drinks,alcoholic and non alcoholic,all of the chocolates and sweets and it included a huge turkey,a large joint of beef and a large gammon.

Ridiculous amount really though and I swear I spent about £100 less last year.

We did our shopping this evening & spent €248. That's for 3 people. We got a ham to cook, turkey crown, sausages, pudding, bacon etc for a cooked breakfast, 3 bottles of wine & a bottle of champagne. Fresh juice., pine cone dessert & a sherry trifle. All the veg - potatoes, carrots, parsnips, marrowfat peas, cranberry sauce, gravy, baileys thick cream, crisps , cheeses etc

We're going away on 29th so didn't go too mad!

Disclaimer we had a crap year so I don’t care.

£257 at the farm shop.

Turkey
Gammon
Pigs
Aged double forerib of beef for NYD.

Everything from the farm comes from the farm, apart from the turkeys they are blow ins, from twelve miles down the road. 😁

A selection of all British and Irish cheeses, plus Manchego, Gorgonzola delice and a decent Comte, the rest of the cheese is just your Joe average stuff from Tesco.

£275 ish on wine at the local wine merchant.

Extra on port, and Pedro Ximenz.

Tesco came in at about £100 but I have been top loading since September, we also have six bottles Bollinger and Moët anytime they or JS had 25% off six we included them.

Booze - £60
Meat (3.5kg turkey crown, leg of lamb, bacon, pigs in blankets & saisagemeat) - £55
Iceland party food - £50
Everything else - £110

£50 of that paid for by Nectar points.

4 adults, 3 kids for Christmas Day, 4 adults here for a week and this also includes stuff for a birthday party next week.

We’ve been eating out of the cupboards/freezer all week so haven’t needed to do a food shop this week. Only got a couple of substitutions on our food shop too, so need to nip out tomorrow for a £10 or so shop.

£250 not counting booze and we aren't even having Christmas lunch at home. Don't know what happened. But we do have lots of lovey food and special dinners for over the next week or so!

400 split between m and s, Iceland, Tesco and Asda. I've been so poorly and essentially housebound since the first weekend of Dec I hadn't done all the sticking up I normally would during Dec with bits bought in and out away, freezer stocked up etc. We pretty drained the cupboards and fridge and freezer with the odd woosh order to bring in milk or bread or meds so I've built up from pretty much completely empty since Monday.

Now, other than potentially a milk or bread woosh type order of essentials I won't be buying anything else till at least the end of the first week of Jan so about 3 weeks worth of stuff to go and chance to really hibernate and hunker down and recover.

Went to Sainsburys first and used nectar points to buy all the drinks, £50 worth so that came to £0
Then Tesco which came to 160.00 ish and used
65.00 of vouchers.
So all together about £90 in money.
