THE cheapest place to do your Christmas supermarket shop has been revealed.
With the big day fast approaching, many households will be keen to know which supermarket to visit when they do their festive shopping.
The Sun compared the prices of eight festive foods including turkey, sprouts, carrots and stuffing at six of the largest supermarkets to find out which was the cheapest.
Families who are set to do their big Christmas shop should head to Aldi or Lidl this weekend.
The supermarkets came out on top, narrowly beating budget rival Asda.
A basket of Christmas dinner necessities costs £16.33 at both supermarkets.
They were neck and neck with their 5kg fresh turkeys, which cost £15 for the same weight.
Aldi and Lidl were also tied when it came to vegetables, with both supermarkets offering Brussels sprouts, potatoes, carrots and parsnips for just 8p each.
Asda is also selling the same vegetables for only 8p each.
They were also price-matched when it came to stuffing, which costs 40p at both supermarkets.
Meanwhile, both sell 200g of gravy for 46p and 15 Yorkshire puddings for 40p.
In third place was Tesco, which beat rivals with its Clubcard offers.
The same basket of items costs £17.05 at the supermarket – 72p more than Aldi.
But its deals put it ahead of Morrisons, where the same set of items will set you back £17.80.
Tesco beat Morrisons on just one item, which made the basket 75p cheaper overall than its rival.
Shoppers need to fork out just 15p for a 2kg bag of potatoes at the supermarket.
In comparison, the same bag costs £1.15 at Morrisons.
But both supermarkets are selling a kilogram of turkey for £3 and a 200g tub of gravy for 65p.
But not all Morrisons shoppers will be able to get the turkey deal as it is only available to Morrisons More customers.
Shoppers who are not signed up to the scheme will be forced to pay £5 a kilogram for the same bird.
It’s the same story at Tesco, where shoppers will be forced to pay £5 a kilogram for a turkey if they do not have a Clubcard.
Buying a 5kg turkey costs an eye-watering £25.
The price drops to £3 a kilo for those with a Clubcard.
Meanwhile, all of Tesco’s vegetables are priced at 15p, almost double the prices offered at Aldi, Asda and Lidl.
But its stuffing is the same price as the budget supermarkets and will set you back 40p.
Its Yorkshire puddings were also in line with other supermarkets and cost 40p.
But customers must register for a Clubcard to unlock any of these discounts.
Shoppers who have not signed up to the supermarket’s loyalty programme face paying a penalty.
The same 2kg bag of all rounder potatoes costs £1.35 without a Clubcard – £1.20 more than if you have one.
The carrots will set you back 69p, Brussels sprouts 85p and parsnips 75p if you do not have a Clubcard.
In last place was Sainsbury’s, where our basket of goods would set you back £22.22.
Sainsbury’s trailed behind rivals on its standard turkey, stuffing and Yorkshire puddings.
A 5kg turkey will set you back £20 – equivalent to £4 per kg.
In comparison, a box of stuffing will cost you 45p – 15p more than Asda and Morrisons.
Its Yorkshire puddings were also some of the most expensive on the market, at 44p for 15.
It’s a similar story to Tesco, as shoppers must have registered for a Nectar card to unlock cheaper prices on half of the items.
Without a Nectar card the price of sprouts soars to 90p while the potatoes are £1.35 for those who have not registered.
