Full list of the British superkartes that have shared their latest price drop on Christmas veg
Christmas is now only a week away, meaning hordes of people up and down the country will be racing to their nearest supermarket to get their hands on several meat and veg essentials. Buying food and drink for Christmas Day can quickly add up to a hefty bill, especially for those entertaining friends and family around the table.
With the cost-of-living crisis continuing to put a squeeze on people’s wallets and keeping grocery prices high, many will be seeking budget-friendly options this year. Thankfully, several major UK supermarkets are offering a special deal that means shoppers won’t need to spend more than necessary on vegetables.
Some of the most popular Christmas dinner veg are potatoes, carrots, parsnips, cabbage and Brussels sprouts. A handful of stores are reducing the price of these festive staples to a fraction of their usual cost, as low as 5p at some retailers. Below is a full list of stores selling discounted vegetables and the duration of the sale.
