How much do you spend on Christmas Food?

[MrsBop]

I honestly can't believe how much I have spent I keep amending my order which is to be delivered tomorrow, I add things on, take things off, things go out of stock so I have to find alternatives and the final total is £170 delivered, that is just completely crazy! The majority of it is for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and then NYE and NYD except for maybe £20 on essentials (bread, dog food, bin bags, wash powder etc!) Am I the only one who spends a fortune? I'm actually dreading it coming because Asda are so useless, the last few times I have used them they have forgotten at least a dozen items, last time it was half my shopping so I dread to think how many items they'll forget from a 100+item order Please reassure me I aren't alone, I can't wait for it all to get here so I can relax!

So far I have spend £70 on food £40 on my Turkey, I am going tonight to get the rest of my shopping which is another £30-£40 and then all my fresh stuff on Christmas eve which comes to about £20. I have also spend £20-£30 on treats, biscuits, sweets, shortbread ect.ect. so that between £180 and £200 !!!! WOW I hadnt counted it all up until now, that is crazy !!!

 

[MrsBop]

all DH kept saying is 'well last time we went we spent £300' that didn't help! I did my usual food shop last week too, that was £140! We'll be eating beans on toast all of January glad it isn't just me though!

Its madness really! We spend less than that on a months shopping! Lol.
I go to mums for Christmas but we arent short of anything there. She spends around £300 but she caters for 13-15 people.

I did my food shop last night ... and OK I did buy enough food for 2 weeks, plus 2 boxes of nappies and a multi pack/box of baby wipes for Tattie and some luxury bits and bobs for my eldest as she isn't living at home .... and the pet food .... but I spent £323 and that doesn't even include the turkey, which I will pick up from the butcher on xmas eve

Thank Goodness for my xmas bonus

[polo_princess]

I spent £109 in Tesco on Monday night and need to go back tomorrow to finish it off, so i'd say about £160 in total, thats for 1 weeks food, alcohol and goodies

[Blah11]

We had probably spent £50 on little bits and bobs for christmas on shops before but we did the 'big shop' tonight and spent £200. I've not even paid for my turkey or puddings yet So will be atleast £300 and doesn't include alcohol

 

[sabby52]

I didn't include alcohol in my total, we spend about £60-£70 on alcohol and we still need to get a few bottles of wine
