Aldi and Lidl cut Christmas dinner veggies to just 28p per pack in festive feast price war
Budget supermarkets are battling with rival chains to have the cheapest Christmas trimmings
ALDI and Lidl have slashed the price of Christmas dinner vegetables to just 28p with just one more week to go until the festive holiday.
The budget supermarkets are battling with rival chains including Tesco to have the cheapest seasonal trimmings.
Aldi and Lidl's price slash today comes days after Tesco cut prices of key ingredients including sprouts and parsnips to 29p to match prices at the budget supermarkets.
Six vegetables are now priced at 28p each at Aldi and Lidl as part of its regular cut-price "super six" deal.
They are: 500g of sprouts, 1kg of carrots, 500g of parsnips, red or white cabbage, a whole swede, and 2.5kg of potatoes.
It's the cheapest price for those ingredients of any major supermarket for the same approximate weights, according to our analysis.
