Will it be wasted ?

Went to Asda today , it was manic , I only had a few items , the family in front of us spend �167 , had 2 trollies of mostly food , but unless they have 20 people around I would think most will go in the bin . Was why do people go over the top for one day of the year ?

I agree. Everyone goes mad at Christmas dont they, and they will be doing the same next weekend for New Year. I love turkey though and am looking forward to turkey sandwiches, curry, casserole etc.

Its easy to get caught up in the panic buying, I tend to stick to a shopping list and ignore the craziness

I feel sorry for the people who have bought stuff and now its on sale! A lot of the shops are doing their sales early this year.

dizzydab is that an explanation or an excuse?

I was quite surprised as I went to Tesco today expecting it to be heaving and it was busy but nowhere near manic. Perhaps people will go in tomorrow or Monday. People didn't have huge trolleys full of stuff either.
Then again the shops are only closed for 2 days so no-one is going to starve are they?

I spent �100 in Morrison's the other day and I don't even have anything to show for it! I must admit, I do go overboard but it's pretty much the only time of the year when I know hubby and the kids are going to be at home. The rest of the time, hubby and I are too busy running the kids around to be able to relax with a drink and some nibbles. It evens out though, because I tend not to have to do a full shop for a couple of weeks after.

what amazes me is that they are all back the day after boxing day doing the same thing! stocking up for the "new year" , the shops were only closed for a day!!!
I stick to what i need, maybe a couple of treats. have thrown too much stuff out in the past to do it now ! madness!
