From December 15, Lidl will be selling a number of vegetables for 19p in-store too.
Aldi is offering the 19p price point across all of its Christmas vegetable staples including 1kg bags of carrots and 2kg bags of white potatoes.
Customers can also get 500g of parsnips, single red and white cabbages, 500g of Brussels sprouts and single swedes for 19p.
The supermarket said the reductions will save customers 80% on their shopping.
Sainsbury’s shoppers looking to order online will be able to get the reduced prices for deliveries between December 20 until December 24.
The reduced prices won’t be available in Sainsbury’s Local stores.
Customers will be able to get a 1kg bag of carrots, 500g of parsnips and 2.5kg bags of white potatoes for 19p.
Meanwhile, 500g bags of Brussels sprouts will be 38p.
Lidl is offering potatoes, parsnips and carrots for 19p.
Plus, customers can pick up Brussels sprouts and swedes for the same price.
We’ve checked with Iceland, Asda and Tesco to see if they plan on slashing the price of their vegetables in the run-up to Christmas and will update this page when we know more.
Supermarkets often battle it out over the festive period to offer the most competitive prices on Christmas staples.
Last December, Iceland reduced the cost of a bag of vegetables to a staggering 1p while Lidl and Aldi were offering prices from 19p.
How else can I save on my supermarket shop?
There are plenty of other ways to save on your supermarket shop.
You can try looking out for yellow or red stickers on products which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh you’ll have to eat it fast, or freeze it to have another time.
Making a list could save you some money too as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
That means going for “own” or “value” type products instead of “finest” or “luxury” lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes as well where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
In other news, B&M shoppers are rushing to buy a White Company “dupe” Christmas decoration that’s only £2.50.
Plus, we tested perfumes from Aldi, Lidl and Superdrug and a £6.99 bottle smells identical to a designer brand costing £295.
