Iโ€™ve hosted my mum for Christmas the past 25 years. She died earlier this year, so am going to a friendโ€™s for Christmas and Boxing Day. It feels very strange not to be stocking the fridge with the usual items.

My lovely cat was PTS last week so, all in all, my appetite is all over the place re the festive season. Not really fancying proper meals, so I went to M&S last night and stocked up on loads of party food so I can have bits and bobs when I feel like eating. Will also be getting a chicken crown and a thick white loaf on Monday so that I can have chicken sandwiches - I blooming love them! Iโ€™ve included a close up of the cheese as, knowing how people love to zoom in, you canโ€™t really see what they are in the fridge.

The only other thing I need to get is some red wine. But my lovely friend started my stock off by having some sent to me on Friday (Iโ€™ll be getting mine from Aldi as my budget doesnโ€™t stretch that far).

Looking forward to seeing plenty more fridge photos early in the week. I always look forward to this thread and will be steadfastly ignoring any miseries that drop in.

So sorry about your mum.
Party food is absolutely the way to go. My pics are not clear but I also have lots of M&S party food too.
Those mini fish & chips is very good. I had that last year.

Enjoy.

Ps - ALDI wine is very good and is my first choice for stocking up.

My butter is on the counter, in a butter dish. And yes, itโ€™s (Anchor) salted butter!

We have one block in the butter dish and a shit load in the fridge!

I have lovely butter ordered. A real treat since DH heart attack and my dreadful cholesterol levels.

I got someone else's fruit order this morning on top of my own. Either that or someone in a supermarket can't read. So now I have 22 apples, 13 pears, a punnet of blackberries, and two pineapples. I only ordered the blackberries, three pears, and four apples of a specific variety. I already had a pineapple and two other apples.

I've called the supermarket and they don't want the extras back, nor will they charge me for their mistake. While that's nice of them, I actually don't have room for all of that anywhere in my home or fridge.

I think I'll have to make applesauce and hope it keeps in a kilner jar. I could make a few pies to freeze too. But it's a few days before Christmas and I don't have time for that sort of malarkey.

Could you make up a couple of fruit baskets as gifts?

Not picked the turkey or the ham up yet and thereโ€™s some in the other fridge and outdoor freezer. I want those M&S nibbles!

Iโ€™ve come on mumsnet specifically looking for the Christmas fridge thread-took my photo earlier once my shop had arrived. Not as filled as Iโ€™d like-seriously lacking different cheeses, but thereโ€™s still time yet!

This is the first year I've seen this thread. Loving it so far!

I've gone early and my main shopping is being delivered tomorrow. I'm desperately checking these photos to see if I need to add anything to my order this eve!

Has anyone got any particular recommendations from Sainsbury's?!

Yes! Their taste the difference pistachio tiramisu is amazingly delicious.

ThisMustBeMyDream · 22/12/2024 09:35

Well, the food shop order has arrived! Only 2 subs... absolute miracle! To be fair, I did actually buy everything non fresh on Friday with my sons asda colleague discount (they got 20% off last mon-fri in store only as opposed to the usual 10%). But they did have no streaky bacon or chicken apparently! So that's me going to the shop later! Oh and the 3 loaves of bread I ordered are all dated the 24th. Fuckers. Is there anywhere I can donate bread to? Freezers totally full. We can't consume 3 loaves of bread in the next 3 day. Also, DP came home with 2 massive sacks full of 8p veg donated to his school by Tesco (they sent staff home with the surplus). Unfortunately I'd already purchased it all that morning! So bread and veg... where can I donate it?
Our drinks are mostly currently stored outside. Along with a plastic box full of veg! We really need a 3rd fridge! And 3rd freezer tbh!

The apoles and pears Iโ€™d put in brown paper bags and put in the shed. They keep quite happily until after Christmas then make apple and pear sauce

You've loads of room in there. Shift stuff up and also move the shelves if necessary. The stuff on the shelf with the mini pies will easily fit on the two shelves above.
