Central England Co-op with stores in Dersingham and Terrington St Clement helps customers prepare early for Christmas
Christmas has come early at Central England Co-op, which has stores in Dersingham and Terrington St Clement, because from today mince pies and festive puddings go on sale.
Usually the retailer does not stock the treats until the end of September but the goodies are going on sale now in response to customers' inquiries in shops and via social media.
Shoppers can stock up on Co-op deep filled mince pies for just £1 or, from its Irresistible range, from £2.
The retailer is also for the first time launching three different Christmas puddings early, ranging from £1 to £3 in response to requests.
Natalie Smith, store manager at Central England Co-op, said: “For months now our colleagues have been inundated with requests for when our Christmas products will be on sale, especially mince pies and Christmas puddings.
“While we know that hearing about anything festive related this early is not for everyone, for some they cannot wait, so we have decided to give people what they wanted and put them on sale early, with Christmas puddings being done so for the first time.
“I have no doubt that mince pies and anything else Christmas related will fly off the shelves now that it is available, especially during these uncertain times when people need and deserve a boost.”
