Tesco said it has sold double The Number of frozen turkeys this year compared to the amount in 2019, due to shoppers cutting back.
There has also been a huge spike in luxury Frozen Desserts , and searches for Frozen Food in general on Tesco's website are up 40% from Last Year .
Mr Murphy said that the UK was living in " times of turbulence and times of change" and people were worried about the " affordability of life today".
But He Said he believed customers were " really determined to enjoy Christmas this year" with 2022 being The First festive period for three years without Covid restrictions.

" People will spend less. That is inevitable, " He Said .
Latest official figures revealed food price inflation hit, up from 14. 5% in September.
Inflation is the rate at which prices are rising. To calculate it The Office for National Statistics (ONS) keeps track of the prices of hundreds of everyday items, known as a " basket of goods".
The ONS said that food prices had risen sharply in October with milk, pasta, margarine, eggs and cereals all going up.
Higher electricity and gas bills have left many households facing hardship heading into the festive season.
Asked when he thought food price inflation would slow down, Mr Murphy said it depended on a " number of factors".
He Said the global Energy Crisis was the main driver behind high food prices, but added The Squeeze on goods since the pandemic was having an impact, as well as the pound's weakness against the US dollar.
Tesco has overhauled its " reduced to clear" line - which includes food approaching its use-by Date - and created " Reduced in Price, Just as Nice" sections, which will be rolled out to 100 stores by The End of the year.
The supermarket has also launched its food collection Drive In UK stores, asking customers to buy items of need for food banks.
