You can do extra roast potatoes and freeze them and blanch the Brussels and freeze them .

Bubble and squeak also freezes well.
No, I won't be. Delighted for those who will but I've neither the freezer space nor the wherewithal to cook it all up in the first place. I'm just getting what I need rather than an excess.
Cook and freeze.
I usually shop at tesco or Sainsbury's and find it lasts well. Just me and 2 children
I wont have the freezer space sadly. Im working now including 23rd so Ill pick up my veg then on way home. Im prepping my roast potatoes christmas eve and leaving in my oven dish ready to put in on the day. Cant wait for christmas dinner 
I'm planning to do my food shop on Monday, but I am super sad (or organised, not sure which 
) and put a note in my calendar when the Aldi tiramisu trifle is coming out... it's tomorrow. Part of me wants to just wait until Monday, but then the other half of me is wondering if this is going to be one of those elusive items Aldi likes to do, where they give each store 3 and never get them back in stock, so I should 100% go tomorrow at opening time ready to fight for a trifle (that, knowing my luck with Aldi recently, they won't even stock it 
)

I’ve been back and bought a second bottle of the Dubai Chocolate Liqueur after trying the first one and ending up drinking half the bottle .
We had to brave Aldi this morning, I was thinking it’ll be nice and quiet as lots of people had their last day at work yesterday probably nursing hangovers. Nope, absolutely manic. It was horrendous 
still forgot bits so will have to go one last time before Christmas.

I had to pop to Aldi this morning and it was quiet! I had intended to drive round the roundabout leading to it and park in the nearby housing estate and walk in if it looked awful - loads of parking and no queues at all, same with Lidl that I went to after.We had to brave Aldi this morning, I was thinking it’ll be nice and quiet as lots of people had their last day at work yesterday probably nursing hangovers.

I am away at the moment and have to do normal shopping just for me like fruit and veg and wondering whether to buy here tomorrow or risk Aldi on Monday early but reading this I will leave it. I was in a big M & S today and got my bits and joined the self serve queue and was out in less than 5 mins. Was amazed how quiet it was, was expecting a mad house.
Does anyone know if Aldi have a small Turkey crown on sale - not the ones in the boxes in the top freezer, not impressed with those as had a trial run, but fresh or in the bottom freezer. Marks have a fresh 2 portion one for £12. My friend wants a turkey sandwich on Boxing Day and as I am not doing Christmas Dinner I just want to buy a small one.
You have to know exactly what you're going in for. I did mine yesterday and was in and out in 20 minutes,........only I forgot the thing I went in for the most, as they had no trolleys left.We had to brave Aldi this morning, I was thinking it’ll be nice and quiet as lots of people had their last day at work yesterday probably nursing hangovers.

So I had to get the pull along basket, and nearly ruptured myself carrying the bags to the car.
Unfortunately there were no knights in shining armour around.

Security guy said they lost 47 the first week they had them without security things on them. They are used as garden barrows he said, no good to me then and laughed.I braved it in Aldi and was impressed by their sides more than anything. Still annoyed by the short dated items, especially the potatoes, but got a three cheese broccoli bake which looked much nicer than the cauliflower cheese. Also got a bottle of Champagne for less than a tenner. Given the prosecco was still quite expensive for what it is, I'm happy.
The Aldi champagne is nice, we’ve had it before. I popped in today for non-Christmas bits like bread and milk and it was ok, threw my 5p carrots in while I was there 
Which priced one was it - we have 10 or 15 £ one.The Aldi champagne is nice, we’ve had it before. I popped in today for non-Christmas bits like bread and milk and it was ok, threw my 5p carrots in while I was there
The one I got was £9.99, down from £13.99 temporarily. Nicolas de Montbart is the name.
Thank you, will look for it on Monday
I picked up one of these yesterday too. Was impressed with Aldi wine offering with 25% off a lot of the wines. I wouldn’t buy wine elsewhere at this time of year as find I get best value from Aldi
