Once again this Christmas the supermarkets are giving kids a little freebie to help them prepare for visits from Santa and Rudolph, with both Tesco* and Morrisons* giving away free carrots for reindeer.
Tesco customers will be able to get their hands on the free carrots from 20th December, while Morrisons shoppers can get theirs from 22nd December. Both stores are running the offer until Christmas Eve.
The free carrots will be available in 829 larger Tesco stores, while Morrisons will have them in 496 branches. They will be available in stands at the front of stores and shoppers will be able to help themselves, and you don't need to make any other purchase.
While this giveaway is to go with the glass of milk and mince pie kids leave out for Father Christmas this offer is also designed to help reduced food waste.
Andy Todd, carrot buyer at Morrisons said: “The spirit of giving is what Christmas is all about, and we’re thrilled to help add a little bit of magic to our customers’ celebrations by giving them a delicious wonky carrot to leave out for Rudolph. Our tasty wonky range helps our British farmers reduce waste and offer customers a delicious alternative at a fraction of the cost.”
Morrisons says its carrots are classed as "wonky", meaning they oversized or misshapen, but are still fine to eat.
If you don't manage to pick up any freebies the supermarkets are all reducing their Christmas dinner veg in time for the big day with Aldi* and Tesco*the cheapest at just 15p for basics like carrots, potatoes, swede, sprouts, parsnips and more.
In previous years McDonald's gave away free bags of carrot 'Reindeer Treats' on Christmas Eve but this year they're charging 79p so I'll be getting my freebies from Tesco or Morrisons this year.
