Lidl has been crowned the cheapest supermarket to purchase ingredients for a vegan-friendly Christmas dinner in 2023. Consumer finance experts at Little-Loans.com conducted research into the price of key vegan Christmas dinner staples from the UK’s biggest supermarkets.
The items included in the Christmas dinner comparisons were:
Nut roast
Parsnips
Roast potatoes
Carrots
Brussel sprouts
Red cabbage
Cranberry sauce
Stuffing
Vegan-friendly gravy granules
If you are looking to cook the ultimate vegan Christmas dinner, minus the hefty price tag, Lidl is the place to shop. A full Christmas dinner comes in at just £8.83, making the supermarket one of five stores where you can pick up all your ingredients for under £10.
Ranked as the most expensive is M&S, with ingredients costing nearly double that of Lidl, at a whopping £16.80. Sainsbury’s was the only supermarket where, at the time of purchasing, a loyalty card reduced the price of the selected Christmas dinner items. With a Nectar card, we saved 70p, bringing the total down to £9.51- marginally beating Asda’s prices.
Commenting on the findings, personal finance expert at Little-Loans, Dan Whittaker said:
“As an increasing number of Brits look forward to sitting down with their loved ones for a plant-based Christmas Dinner, our data shows just how simple and budget-friendly it can be to shop for a vegan-friendly roast with all the trimmings.
“With household budgets tightening, it pays to do your research and plan ahead as much as possible for all your Christmas expenses and the big food shop is no exception! It will taste even better knowing you’ve saved yourself some extra cash in the process.”
