Xmas Dinner On Offer For Less Than GBP2 Per Head

Tue, 01 Dec 2009
Supermarket chain Asda is offering shoppers the chance to pick up a full Christmas dinner for six adults for just £11, or £1.83 a head.

The retailer claims its festive meal of turkey, potatoes, vegetables, cranberry sauce, gravy, stuffing, mince pies and a pudding is the cheapest available in the UK, and 24p a head cheaper than nearest rival Tesco .

Simon Shaw, head chef at Asda, said: "Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a big slap-up turkey dinner and at £1.83 a head this is the UK's best value."

To promote their offering, Asda will deliver one Xmas dinner every day until December 25 to Andy Park, nicknamed Mr Christmas .

The 44-year-old electrician from Wiltshire claims he has eaten a full Christmas meal every lunchtime since 1994, spending an average of £20,000 a year.

By teaming up with Mr Christmas, Asda believes it can help cut his festive food costs by around £1,300 a month.

Halli O'Neill, from Asda's food innovation team, said: "We are happy to help Mr Christmas out this year with our low-priced Christmas dinner ."

"Hopefully this will give him a little extra festive cheer. Our dinner offers Christmas dinner with all the trimmings."

Mr Christmas said: "When you celebrate Christmas every day, they can all start to blend into one, but Asda have made this a Christmas I will never forget - my house is like a winter wonderland ."

"I was worried that I might have to start making cutbacks this year but Christmas has literally been saved."
