Just had a communication from Waitrose advising me to book my Christmas slot!

Booked my Christmas Waitrose shop yesterday morning.

What I must remember to do is go back and amend it nearer the time or all that we shall have is beer, wine, fizz and cleaning products…

I’ll still buy M&S Christmas food - but less of it. We eat too much at Christmas if it’s in the house, and I must admit to having to throw some away because I over-buy.
So the plan is to (try to) rein myself in!

I’ve had from Ocado.

Personally, if you can afford it and you to, then why not indulge yourself once a year?

My DM always paid for our Christmas fare, which came from a combination of Donald Russel and M&S. I’ve done the same in her memory (& using “her” cash initially) and will do the same this year.

I put money aside every month, every year, specifically for Christmas.

I agree Elaine.We seem to shop less and less at M&S.
Other supermarkets have very similar items, just as tasty and at a much more reasonable price.

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?
