On the eve, mainly Christmas foods end up in shopping baskets. It’s the other way around, reveals the S group’s sales data.

On Boxing Day, grocery stores buy quite a bit more than Christmas food. The S group’s sales data reveals that bananas, frozen potatoes, pasta, yogurt and various snacks are usually put in the shopping cart.
– Compared to older age groups, on Boxing Day, for example, soft drinks and energy drinks, curds, minced meat, chicken, pasta, frozen pizza and Tex-Mex products are more prominent in the purchases of people under 35, says the sales director of the S group’s grocery store Hans Backström in the bulletin.
In older age groups, Christmas dishes are likely to be enjoyed for longer, as it is customary to buy complementary basic flavors with them.
– Compared to younger age groups, people over the age of 65 prefer potatoes, buttermilk, fruit and porridge flakes when shopping on Boxing Day.
Remember to use the rest of the Christmas dishes
If the Christmas food starts to come out during or after Christmas, the leftover food can easily be processed into further treats.
