THE cheapest place to do your Christmas supermarket shop has been revealed. With the big day fast approaching, many households will be keen to know which supermarket to visit when they do their festive shopping. The Sun compared the prices of eight festive foods including turkey, sprouts, carrots and stuffing at six of the largest supermarkets to find out which was the cheapest.
Families who are set to do their big Christmas shop should head to Aldi this weekend. The supermarket came out on top, narrowly beating budget rivals Lidl and Asda. A basket of Christmas dinner necessities costs £16.33 at the supermarket, making it 25p cheaper than the runner-up Lidl.
The supermarket led the pack with its 5kg British Fresh Whole Turkey, which will set you back £14.75. This is 25p cheaper than Lidl’s Birchwood Whole Turkey, which costs £15 for the same weight. Aldi and Lidl were tied when it came to vegetables, with both supermarkets offering Brussels sprouts, potatoes, carrots and parsnips for just 8p each.
Asda is also selling the same vegetables for only 8p each. They were also price-matched when it came to stuffing, which costs 40p at both supermarkets. Meanwhile, both sell 200g of gravy for 46p and 15 Yorkshire puddings for 40p. In third place was Tesco, which beat rivals with its Clubcard offers.
The same basket of items costs £17.05 at the supermarket - 72p more than Aldi. But its deals put it ahead of Morrisons, where the same set of items will set you back £17.80. Tesco beat Morrisons on just one item, which made the basket 75p cheaper overall than its rival.
