As the UK gets ready to celebrate Christmas, supermarkets like ASDA, Aldi, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Lidl have been bustling with shoppers stocking up on festive treats and Christmas dinner staples.
But one supermarket has proven you don't have to splash the cash to have a delicious Christmas spread.
Morrisons is giving away £3.05 bags filled with festive treats - and shoppers are guaranteed to get one if they book ahead of visiting.
The supermarket announced that it will make 50 per cent more of the food bags between December 20 and December 24 that will be filled with discounted food items that shoppers can get for just £3.05.

The new move will make up part of the supermarket's ambitious pledge to reduce food waste by 50 per cent by 2030, as well as helping customers who are sticking to a budget this year.
Each Magic Bag can be purchased through the To Good To Go app and contains a tenner's worth of unsold food items that have reached their Best Before date.
Customers won't know what is in their bags until they are picked up at their local store, but Morrisons have said that they are likely include a few festive surprises.
Morrisons shoppers usually get a good amount of fruit and veg in their Too Good To Go bags, so it's likely the bags will contain Christmas dinner goodies for a seriously low price.
The Too Good To Go app has become a viral sensation with shoppers posting videos and photos bargain bags they secure from supermarkets and also the likes of Cafe Nero, Costa and Starbucks.
Morrisons introduced the 'Magic Bags' of food back in 2019, after they were the first UK supermarket to partner with Too Good To Go to offer food past its ‘best before’ date directly to customers for less.
The move has proven popular with shoppers, as they regularly sell-out, but the supermarket and the app have decided to increase the amount of bags sold in stores to help with the additional festive stock.
David Potts, Chief Executive of Morrisons, said: “We are using technology to help us reduce food waste and to help more people afford to eat well. It will also mean we waste less food this Christmas as it will find a home for products that can’t be sold after the festive period.”
