Iceland is selling its frozen Christmas veg for just 1p per pack today

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant - 21st December 2021

Iceland has launched an unmissable flash sale ahead just in time for Christmas, and it means you can grab bags of frozen vegetables from as little as 1p.

The leading frozen food supermarket retailer’s new deal – which is available until the end of the day today (21 December) – applies to all of its fresh and frozen vegetables that are priced at £1 or under, and on top of that, shoppers will also be able to snap up veg for 1p per pack when they buy three packs online.

All you need to do is add three packs of your chosen Christmas veg to your online basket and enter the code “ICE1VEG” when you checkout to receive the discount.

Some of the items included in the festive deal are Iceland Carrots (£0.79), Iceland Sprouts (£1), Iceland Parsnips (£0.79) – but it’s not just the traditional Christmas veg on offer, you can also pick up bags of pretty much every vegetable you can think of, all for prices that come under the £1 mark.

There’s also some great offers on Iceland’s fresh vegetables too, which are also all under £1.

And, there’s also a brilliant and important reason as to why Iceland has made the decision to slash the price of its veg ahead of Christmas too.

“Christmas has become more important than ever this year, with families having lost out on precious time together last time around, explained Richard Walker – Managing Director at Iceland.

“That’s why we’re delighted to support our customers by cutting the costs of their festive feasts whilst also releasing a further 180,000 delivery slots between now and Christmas Eve.

“It isn’t just about winning the battle for the cheapest supermarket veg.

“We wanted to make sure that everyone is able to have a brilliant Christmas with their loved ones without having to worry about the monetary hangover that often follows.

“With supermarket delivery slots impossible to come by in time for Christmas, and other supermarkets having to cancel pre-booked slots, Iceland is pulling out all the stops to ensure it can get deliveries to as many families as possible in time for Christmas by releasing 180,000 delivery slots, available to book between now and Christmas Eve.”

The Iceland veg sale lasts until the end of the day today.

A sustainable vintage fashion shop and kilo sale is popping up in a Greater Manchester town in a couple of days time.

And all the proceeds will go to a very-worthy charity.

Merely weeks after the UK’s largest vintage market descended on the iconic Victoria Baths in Manchester city centre, another sustainable fashion event will be popping up in one of the region’s popular shopping centres for the month.

British Heart Foundation will be hosting a brand-new pop-up shop and vintage kilo sale, where you can buy clothing and other goods at a fixed price per kilogram, in Stretford town centre.

Opening its doors this Saturday (5 April), the charity will be taking over the vacant unit that’s next door to JD Sports to provide the Stretford community with a charity shop filled with all sorts of vintage goods and thrifty finds.

Visitors will be able to sift through shelves stacked with major brands at bargain prices, making it the perfect way to sustainably stock up on wardrobe staples and revamp ready for spring.

Jack Grealish dedicates first league goal in 16 months to late brother on anniversary of his death

Danny Jones Danny Jones Jack Grealish dedicates goal first Premier League goal in over a year to late brother

Manchester City star Jack Grealish held back the tears following his first Premier League goal in more than 16 months, but not in relief after breaking the duck, because it came on a very emotional day for him and his family.

The Man City and England midfielder opened the scoring in the Blues’ 2-0 win against Leicester City on Wednesday night, bringing an end to his goal drought after a total of 473 days.

But what made it even more special is that the game happened to coincide with the anniversary of his late brother Keelan’s death.

Speaking in his post-match interview after picking up the man of the match award, Grealish was in a noticeably quieter mood than his usual charismatic self before revealing that the day marked the 25th anniversary of his younger sibling’s death.

The 29-year-old went on to reveal that the date coincided with Keelan’s passing and acknowledged that it’s “hard on the family but [I’m] happy to score”.

His mum and dad, Karen and Kevin, were up in the stands; it doesn’t need explaining why scoring in that particular moment was so special for all of them.

Clearly stirred by addressing what was a bittersweet occasion, he signed off by adding, “To score and to win was brilliant.”

Keelan Daniel Grealish was just nine months old when he tragically passed away from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) back in 2000 – ‘Super Jack’ was just four at the time.

Paying tribute on social media after the game, the comments below his post were filled with love and support.

Besides the goal itself, the former Aston Villa star was keen to reiterate that he was never brought to the club to score bags of goals and “has a lot more to offer” than just hitting the back of the net.

Touching on his Grealish’s game and the tribute to Keelan during his post-match duties, manager Pep Guardiola went on to add: “Jack is an incredible human being; in terms of gestures and for the other people, he’s incredibly generous.

“I didn’t know that [it was the anniversary of his brother’s death]. I can’t imagine how tough it could be for mum, dad, sister, and all the family. It’s good on this day to remember him, I’m pretty sure they remember every single day.”

A lovely moment from a much-loved character around the Eithad Stadium as well as up and down the country. Rest in peace, Keelan.

Three more points on the board for City and a big moment for the Brummy-born midfielder.
