Do you think something will become cheaper by the New Year? But in vain! We need to prepare for the fact that the price tags will not "bang" like a child, and we will celebrate the holiday anyway.
Therefore, I am doing New Year's supplies and preparations for food now.
Of course it's too early to take the perishable. but to buy something and clean up - it's time!
Main dish
Each hostess has her own traditional and signature dishes that are served on the New Year's table.
This can be roast beef, wellington beef, baked chicken or duck, guinea fowl, large ruddy goose or turkey, as well as salmon steaks or baked trout / sturgeon / stellate sturgeon, or budget carp.
All this can and should be purchased now, wrapped in two or three layers of cling film and in the freezer.
Goose recipes:

Believe me, these products, alas, will not be cheaper.
And even if you change your mind about whether to bake a goose or fish, it will not be so offensive when, before the New Year, there is suddenly not enough money for them.
You already have Plan B, just in case.

Beverages
I think all adults will agree with me that you need to buy drinks in advance so that you don't run around later if you don't have enough or vice versa in search of decent wine / champagne / cognac.
There will definitely be no discounts! Moreover, the government is already wise and offers to raise prices for alcoholic drinks by at least 25%.
Of course, there is a temptation to start marking in advance due to the presence of gurgling stocks, as the situation overboard is only getting worse every day.
But I think we still have restraint and self-control, so we store a good vinyl under the sofa and rub our hands in anticipation of the New Year holidays.
Friends, I'm with you! Let's come off! You can also use pomegranate juice if that :)
Canned food
Yes, that notorious canned green peas and not only him.
We rarely cook Olivier salad for the New Year's table, we have it for Christmas or we plan it on New Year's holidays. But... Last year, I somehow lost sight of the need to stock up on a couple of cans of canned sweet corn and red beans in my own juice.
As a result, on December 31, I chased between stores in search of the coveted can of beans - it was everywhere, but only in tomato or oven. And I needed just the usual one for appetizer and salad.
Do not repeat my mistakes and if you are going to cook something with canned vegetables, mushrooms, fruits, olives, legumes, etc. - shop now!
The same goes for mayonnaise, as well as caviar and sprat. If the terms are normal and there is where to store. Believe me, you will praise yourself for such prudence.
Sausage and cheese
It is difficult to imagine a Russian home meal without traditional plates with such cuts.
Already now I am buying sausage and cheese for the New Year's table. True, I still have only raw smoked sausage in my stash, and I rub the cheese on a grater and freeze it so that it can be used for salads or hot dishes.
Fish for a snack
Here you need to return to point # 1. I already buy pink salmon, chum salmon or salmon in carcasses. And cut them into fillets or steaks. Something will go to the main hot dish, something to delicious salads.
But mostly red and not only such a fish, I salt it myself and even sometimes smoke it. It turns out delicious, budgetary and there is always something to treat.
Good luck to you! AND... holiday greetings!
