Just got the M&S email re Christmas food.
All looks very nice but at a price! I no longer feel I can justify such a cost and it's not even the end of September yet so too soon to think about Christmas!
Anyone else given up on these expensive prices and moved to a cheaper local supermarket?

Our whole family gets together at Christmas, and it is my job to provide the pudding course. I make the Christmas pudding, but buy stuff from M&S or Waitrose - depending on what I fancy.

I am not adverse from buying from anywhere really. It depends on the ingredients, reviews etc.

The main thing is - I don’t have to prepare them, for upwards of 20 people.

Well I'll brag and tell everyone I'm going over to France in December to buy my fizz, cheeses and chocolates. (Because I'm worth it).

Plenty of people can afford posh stuff, but if they dare to mention sonething they like, it's always seen by some as boasting on here.

My DF absolutely loved caviar. I find it far too salty, lobster however …..
