The usual panic has set in. Tesco and Co are closed for one day (well they are around here). Cue panic buying of bread and milk etc.... All to be thrown in the bin in a few days time

Total of £91.74 spent at Aldi & Sainsburys today should see us through past new year. OK so its only 2 of us but WTF are some people buying!!!
Wasn't even busy either

If the above stats are rolled out over the population as a whole, everyone is going to have about 5 Christmas lunches.
(that wasn't worked out, and is a total guess, someone else can do it accurately.)

Christmas isn't Christmas without a bit ofPata Negra and a bit of good cheese, lunch and a selection of other cheeses and meats for dinner. Best not give you bill for the wine then, had I?
Do you lot honsetly give your friends crap?

pata negra is amazing stuff, much nicer than any italian ham. First had it at a Spanish wedding in 2004.

Nah they just don't get invited!
But seriously, you are a most generous host! You can eat very well for a lot less than you are spending. BUt if you can afford it, go for it!. Can you post a doggy bag?

Do you lot honsetly give your friends crap?i received some lovely thin sliced chorizo today that's easy on the parprika and i swear you can smell the acorn fed ham. dunno what it's called but it tastes divine.
magnum of la rioja alta vina ardanza already at the folks, a nice godello, Gulbenzu evo and some pedro-ximenez that's nearly as old as me.no £8 shitty bottles of port for me. not a snob just appreciate nice food/wine for the taste not the label. no expensive champagne just a £10 bottle of prosecco with a dash of Aperol, much nicer.
did spend far to much on cheese though, morbier, reblochon, cashel blue and some comté that's £25 gone.

£275 in Tesco for 2 adults and a child - £40 on Turkey, who knows how much on booze and the rest on nibbles/cheese/ham/stuff, with a few essentials thrown in - outlaws round on Boxing Day though for snacks

£160 at m&s yesterday,£150 at tesco today (that does not include booze) 5 people for chrimbo dinner
Posted 5 months ago # -
was having a similar conversation in the pub with mates this evening.
My £150 seems a bit odd.
That's £50 on top of a normal £100 a week shop (for four), there's 5 of us on Sunday.

£50 in the online basket but no slots for delivery before Christmas.
In store £108 Doh...

The freezer is ALWAYS full of good meat. I don't want a Turkey very much. I have a choice of chicken, pork, lamb or quail for the day.
No money spent for this weekend in particular except for on a few more vegetables than usual.
