Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat…but our wallet is getting rapidly lighter.
Fortunately, Sainsbury’s has stepped in and announced Christmas food and drink offers with festive staples from just 15p each – as well as £3 per kg turkeys.
In store and online, Sainsbury’s is offering various Christmas dinner essentials for the bargain price, but has warned customers that the offers will only be available for seven days.
Sainsbury’s will sell brussels sprouts, carrots, parsnips, white potatoes, swede, white cabbages and red cabbages for just 15p each if you have a Nectar card.
The supermarket will also sell turkeys for just £3 per kg for a 2-4 kg bird.
It means Sainsbury’s shoppers will be able to grab an entire Christmas dinner for just £9.30, according to the supermarket’s own figures.
But the cheap veg is available for just seven days, from Wednesday, December 18 to Tuesday, December 24, aka Christmas Eve.
The turkey offers will run from Thursday, December 19 until Boxing Day.
A Sainsbury’s spokesman said: “With the big day just around the corner, Sainsbury’s is helping customers make the most of the hosting season with tree-mendous savings, yule not want to miss across Christmas essentials with Nectar Prices.
