The downturn is helping takeaway pizza firm Domino's, which has revealed a huge rise in annual profits.
Sales for the year to 28 December were up 18.4% to £350.8m ($524m), and like-for-like sales grew 10% in the period.
And pennywise shoppers have boosted Newcastle-based bakery chain Greggs, which has seen like-for-like sales rise 5.3% in the four weeks to 3 January.
But chocolate-maker and retailer Thorntons has reported a 2.3% fall in pre-Christmas sales.
