COMPETITION CLOSED
With Christmas just around the corner, here is your chance to win a great prize.
We are giving you the chance to win a £50 voucher from Sainsbury’s Food.
If one thing is certain it’s that we love to indulge at Christmas. In fact the average Brit consumes 7,000 calories on Christmas day alone, with more than 2,000 of those calories being consumed before dinner!
Our tendency to indulge at Christmas doesn’t just affect our waistlines but also our wallets, with £161 of the £835 that’s spent at Christmas by the average household in the UK going on food and drink.
Whilst Christmas dinner accounts for a big part of the food we consume over the festive period, there’s also alcohol, snacks, chocolate, mince pies etc. When you take that into account, it’s no shock that the average Brit will put on 6lbs between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day.
Roast turkey is an essential part of Christmas dinner for most families, so much so that 87% of people in Britain believe that Christmas would not be the same without it. As popular as turkey is now, it wasn’t until the 1950’s that it become affordable to the masses. Up until then it was viewed as a luxury that only the wealthy could afford.
To make this year’s Christmas a little lighter on your pocket, we are giving away a £50 food voucher.
