The research comes from retail tracking platform Assosia, which measured the annual change in prices for own-brand products across Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Morrisons, Aldi and Lidl. It compares figures on 1 December 2023 with the same products on the same day in 2022.
The crowning glory of the festive feast the turkey has seen its price rise by a paltry 1.2%. But last Christmas, turkey prices soared following an outbreak of avian flu which led to hundreds of thousands of birds being culled. This means turkey is still 20% more expensive than in was in 2021.
Carrots have seen the biggest price rise in our data, with a whopping 27%, with iced mince pies also seeing prices rise by a quarter.
A jar of onion gravy granules was up some 18% on last year, while Christmas pudding will cost shoppers 11% more.
