Aldi’s Valentine’s Day meal deal includes steak and heart-shaped pancakes

LOVE is in the air at Aldi, where couples can pick up a Valentine's Day meal deal for two for less than £10.

The discounter is launching a range of starters, mains, sides and desserts for the romantic day, including steak and heart-shaped pancakes.

Unlike other supermarkets, the deal - which launches in stores on February 11 - isn't a set price.

Instead, how much you pay will depend on what items you pick from its so-called specially selected range.

The cheapest combination is a £2.99 sharing bread with Camembert, followed by a main of salmon fillets with heart-shaped butter for £3.19, eaten with a side of chips or mashed potatoes for £1.99.

For dessert, you might like Aldi's mini heart-shaped pancakes at £1.49.

This adds up to £9.66 for two, or £4.83 per person - making it a much cheaper alternative to dining out at a restaurant on February 14.

The most expensive items in the meal deal range cost £13.94 in total, working out as £6.97 per person.

Last year, the cheapest items of Aldi's Valentine's meal deal cost £6.77 for two, or £3.39 per person.

The meal deal is cheaper than alternatives offered by the big four supermarkets, although these also include alcohol to enjoy with the food.

Morrisons and Asda are selling their Valentine's Day meal deals for £15, while Tesco's and M&S' version are pricier setting you back £20.

Wine at Aldi starts from £4.09 a bottle, and Prosecco prices start at £4.99.

The Valentine's Day meal deal will only be available as long as stocks last though, so it might be worth popping down to the supermarket before Valentine's Day to make sure you get the dishes you want.
