A variety of major supermarket chains will be reducing the cost of Christmas vegetables to just 15p this week, and we have all the information you need.
December is often an expensive month, with gift shopping eating into our budgets. Which is exactly why a list of retailers often run offers to help make the festive dinner a little more affordable.
The price war on fresh festive veggies usually kicks off on the last week of the month, with staples we all know and love such as potatoes, carrots, swede and sprouts reduced in the last few days of the Christmas build-up.
