Christmas dinner set to cost less at the supermarket this year

Prices for traditional Christmas dinner items in the UK are slightly lower this year, with Brussels sprouts down 12% and turkeys down by about 6%. Overall, a Christmas meal is expected to cost families £31.66, which is a decrease from last year. While some items, particularly root vegetables like potatoes and carrots, have seen price increases due to poor weather, the overall trend indicates a slower rate of food price inflation. Supermarket competition is likely to intensify as Christmas approaches, with potential for further discounting on perishable goods.
