Supermarkets each have their offering of Christmas dinner ingredients, ranging from juicy turkeys, roast potatoes and parsnips all the way to mince pies.<\/p>\n

While one budget retailer topped the chart as the cheapest place to do the festive food shop, another came out on top as the \u201ctastiest\u201d provider.<\/p>\n

Results from a price comparison done by Which? in November crowned Aldi as the most affordable while Waitrose won Good Housekeeping\u2019s annual taste test.<\/p>\n

But for those that want both quality and affordability, there are a plethora of cheaper alternatives to Waitrose\u2019s luxury offering.<\/p>\n

Express.co.uk has rounded up the best value supermarket to get every ingredient for your Christmas dinner with no trimming spared.<\/p>\n

Some may assume that middle-of-the-range retailers like Tesco and Sainsbury\u2019s are always the ones to go to for value and top-tier flavours, but it\u2019s simply not the case according to Good Housekeeping\u2019s taste test.<\/p>\n

Turkey<\/h3>\n

Tesco\u2019s Faff-free Two Bird Ballotine shared the top spot of the taste test but cost just \u00a339 compared to Waitrose\u2019s \u00a360-\u00a390 alternative, the Medium Free-Range Bronze Feathered Whole Turkey with Giblets.<\/p>\n

Vegetarian centrepiece<\/h3>\n

Tesco took home first place for its vegetarian offering – Finest Roasted Butternut Spinach & Sage Galette (\u00a37).<\/p>\n

Aldi had the best vegan option and even outranked Waitrose with its Specially Selected Vegan Festive Wreath (\u00a34.99).<\/p>\n

Pigs in blankets<\/h3>\n

Asda came second to Sainsbury\u2019s in the taste test with their ASDA Extra Special Pigs in Blankets (\u00a33.25).<\/p>\n

Those who want to spend an extra \u00a31 can buy the winning side dish, Sainsbury\u2019s Taste the Difference Proper Pigs in Blankets for \u00a34.25.<\/p>\n
