Record UK grocery sales after Covid lockdowns fuel early festive revelry
Sales of Christmas turkey and alcohol were up by just over a third in November, says Kantar
November was the biggest month ever for UK grocery sales with shoppers spending almost £11bn as the return of lockdown in England drove supermarket purchases of food and alcohol.
Sales of turkey and alcohol were up by just over a third and festive light sales soared 238% in November, according to analysts at Kantar, as shoppers brought forward preparations for Christmas and began treating themselves at home while pubs and restaurants were closed.
