BRITAIN’S biggest supermarkets have toasted a Christmas of strong food spending, but fashion and homeware failed to make headway in a mixed picture for the high street.

Tesco, Sainsbury's and Marks & Spencer were among those to deliver good news about their festive grocery sales as they enticed shoppers with premium ranges and trend-focused products.

Tesco reported sales growth over the Christmas period and cheered increasing its share of the overall market to 28.7% over the final quarter - its highest for more than a decade.

Boss Ken Murphy said competition among supermarkets to attract shoppers was “relentless” with value-for-money remaining a priority for people.
