SUPERMARKETS have toasted a record-breaking festive season, fuelled by tightened pandemic restrictions that shuttered “non-essential” shops, as well as pubs and restaurants.
Shoppers spent £12bn on food and drink in December, the biggest month of grocery sales ever, according to estimates from Kantar, which measures how supermarket chains perform every month.
Spreading closures of pubs and restaurants kept the tills ringing as celebrations were confined to homes.
