'The government have identified and shared with us the customers who they consider the most vulnerable, and we’re in the process of contacting these customers to offer them priority access to home delivery slots. We are waiting for the databases for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and will contact vulnerable customers in those areas as soon as we are able.'

From these, we were able to match 75,000 existing customers and we’ve already contacted them to let them know we’re making home delivery slots immediately available to them. As we receive more data from Government, we’ll make even more slots available.'

Shoppers are being warned that supermarket slots are running low at some stores this Christmas.

Tesco, Asda and M&S have already warned about limited slots for Christmas supermarket deliveries, the Manchester Evening News reports.

Tesco is experiencing high demand, while Asda has warned shoppers: 'Once slots are gone, they’re gone.'

Sainsbury's' is urging people not to leave it too late - and M&S says its slots are already running out.

It is clear, then, that shoppers would be foolish to leave it too late as the Christmas dash for groceries and gifts intensifies.

Naomi Schraer of MoneySavingExpert said: 'With ongoing coronavirus restrictions, it's likely supermarket delivery slots will be in even greater demand this year with some households keen to avoid the shops, so it's best to get in while you can.'

The Be Clever With Your Cash website also warns that even if you do get a slot, some must-need items might run out because of the Christmas rush.

So for those who want to plan things now, the MEN has taken a look at the available information.

Tesco

Tesco's website says: 'We're experiencing high demand for slots around Christmas'.

At the moment, shoppers can book a click and collect slot or a flexi saver delivery slot.

The supermarket advises people to book a slot and add a few items to checkout before giving yourself more time to make your final list.

Once you are ready to finish your order, go back and check out again by 11:45pm on the day before your delivery.

Don't worry if you have forgotten something, because you can also amend your order as many times as you like, but make sure to check out each time you do.

But be warned - if there are any Festive Food to Order items in your Christmas basket, you will need to check them out by 11.45pm on December 14.

The two giants have joined forces ahead of Christmas and you can book a delivery up to 3pm on December 24 - although this does depend on availability.

After that, they will then resume taking orders from 12pm on Christmas Day for grocery essentials from December 26.
