This Christmas, many of us will be looking to spread the festive cheer on a tighter budget due to the cost of living crisis. Thankfully, it doesn't mean that you have to compromise on great-tasting food around the table, as certain supermarkets have been releasing their very own Christmas dinner deals to ensure you get all the seasonal joy without breaking the bank.
Household favourites including Aldi, Asda and even Poundland are getting in on the festive food action as they are offering seriously competitive prices for a whole Christmas dinner, complete with all the trimmings. The budget meals have hit the shelves as new BBC research reveals that Christmas dinners will be 22% more expensive this year, with seven key items rising by £5.36 since 2021.
When I heard that Asda had released a Christmas dinner that costs just £22 for five people, I was really shocked - especially with the sheer volume of food it contained. Shoppers can expect a turkey crown, roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, carrots, peas, sprouts, and pigs in blankets for just over £20. Each element is frozen rather than fresh, but the value for money is impressive.
