The last days of Christmas shopping are here, and so it’s likely most people are picking up bits and bobs to finish off their lists.
Things like fruit and veg have to be bought last minute to ensure they’re fresh for the December 25 feast, but there are always the few who leave the big things like turkey and ham to the last minute.
Although some stores sell out quickly, there are always a few left in stores like Supervalu, Tesco, Aldi, and Lidl - although they may be boned and rolled.
