A SAVVY shopper successfully bought an entire Christmas dinner for her whole house for under £10.

The total meal came to £9.86 and boasted brussel sprouts, carrots, chicken, cranberry sauce and gravy.
Lilly said: “We did it! That was so much harder than I expected.
"But we have change and, I think, a very good Christmas dinner.”
