Jealous! I'm usually done by now too but this year my mum is insisting on coming for the fresh stuff and Sunday is the only day that works for her i'm dreading it to be honest!

Depends on where you are in country I think but a lot of shops and supermarkets also although tied to trading law hours are extending browsing time for you to shop beforehand and then be at checkouts as soon as they open... I'm surprised our store hasn't but also glad cos I'm working Sunday lol

I collected my click & collect from Tesco this morning (I get my shopping delivered each week but stupidly forgot about the release of the priority delivery slots & every slot has gone by the time I realised. Fortunately everything was in stock, all in good dates for Christmas (even the cream & veg). Hurrah! Well done Tesco!

This is me but Asda, first year I've been doing pine shopping and forgot about blagging a Christmas spot early, so I'm off to pick my shopping up tomorrow morning and looking at updates all shopping is in stock and in suitable date but stuff I don't want substituting I've ticked and can hopefully get at Morrisons on Sunday, where in theory I plan to run in and use the self serve checkout

All of my Christmas stuff should be delivered Ocado at 6pm tonight. I just hope the turkey and beef rib don't get substituted for crisps of the same flavour or something silly, lol.

I did mine this morning as I do every Friday , in and out by 10:30 and just picked up a few nibbles for Boxing Day , extra milk and breadcakes . The amount of stuff some some people were buying was eye watering tbh for 1-2 days .

We are going to Lidls Sunday morning. We have most things, it’s just vegetables and fresh milk, bread etc. We don’t live near any shops so we usually stock a little anyway. I don’t think we will need to shop until the New Year after Sunday, apart from milk and bread perhaps

Supermarkets (and other big stores) can only open for certain amount of hours on a Sunday( think it's 6 hours) by law even the 24hr ones.
I suspect they will let people in early to get their food but wont allow them to pay for it until probably an hour after opening ( believe it's called browsing time)... but they will then have to close early.

My local Asda opens the tills at 11 on Sunday but folks allowed in at 10

Just checked Aldi and Lidl and they are saying 10.00 am opening on Sunday with 30 minutes browsing

I guess not2old4disney lives in Scotland, their Sunday trading laws are different.
Mine is all coming from Ocado on Sunday night. Just added the last few bits I can think of - I’ve added to it 6 times since Wednesday. Cut off midnight tonight

We are collecting the turkey from Morrisons at 9am tomorrow so will get the fresh fruit and veg then. Sending hubby out on Christmas eve for milk and bread.😉
