Yesss totally agree with this I went to Tesco earlier to get dinner for Christmas Day, did my usual food shop as well and the only added things I wouldn’t usually get are a few nibbles like peanuts, couple puddings and a pack of mixed biscuits but that’s it.I despair of supermarkets at this time of year, I can't work out why people are buying the quantity of crap food that they do.
Christmas is basically a roast meal and then leftovers in sandwiches with a few crisps or some cake.
The supermarkets are closed for one day, I know people don't want to shop again on boxing day but the hording of large quantities of food staggers me. (Boxing Day is catered for her with the chilli)
There is no food planing in that shop, she has just randomly purchased a load of food that she thinks looks nice.
However she has helped me to understand the nutty shopping that is going on at the moment and the mind set of those doing it!
My mums one of them people at this time of year who will always chuck everything and anything into her trolley and then has to try and eat it all before it goes off
