Asda has been named as the supermarket with the cheapest Christmas dinner for a family of four this year, a new study has revealed.
According to research from savings platform Raisin UK, in comparing Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Aldi, Morrisons, Waitrose, M&S and Iceland, Asda was found to be the least expensive at £20.89 for a festive feast.
Considering Christmas staples such as turkey, roast potatoes, stuffing, gravy, brussels sprouts, carrots, pigs in blankets, parsnips, cranberry sauce and Yorkshire puddings, discount grocer Aldi came in at a close second, just 2p behind Asda.
While Tesco took third place at £23.23, followed by Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and Iceland, both M&S and Waitrose were found to be most costly at £33.15 each.

However, when considering the price of a frozen turkey alone, Aldi was found to be the cheapest supermarket at £13.49, with Asda and Iceland at just 1p more.
M&S was priced highest at £19.50, while Waitrose and Sainsbury’s Christmas turkeys came in cheaper at £16.
“The cost-of-living crisis continues to add financial pressure to households across the country, but as families plan to keep to Christmas traditions, many will look towards our value supermarkets to help lower costs whilst keeping the magic of Christmas,” Raisin UK co-founder, Kevin Mountford said.
“Supermarket own brands are often just as good as some of our brand items, and most supermarkets are known to use the same supplier meaning that your products are extremely similar, and sometimes exactly the same as other supermarket own-brand items.
“It’s also the time for households to start thinking about Christmas 2023, with options like saving pots and even Christmas Saver bank accounts that allow you to lock away money ready for next year.”
