Five cheap and chearful last-minute ideas to make your partner feel loved this Valentine’s Day
LEFT it to the last minute to sort out a Valentine’s Day love token for your other half? Restaurants are likely to be fully booked — and costly — but you don’t need to be unlucky in love, thanks to supermarket meal deals and other offers to please your beloved.
These are the deals that will save you the most (and save you from being in the dog house on the most romantic day of the year) . . .
BARGAIN BUNCH: Need to nab some blooms, but don’t want to spend a fortune? Nip into your nearest Aldi, where ten roses are just £2.09 — that’s around 20p per rose. This is a massive saving compared with 12 roses from Waitrose for £25 — or £2.08 per rose. You could even double or treble your bunch and still come in far cheaper.
SAVE: £22.91
SERIOUS SPARKS: For £20, you and your love can tuck into a starter, main, side, dessert, box of chocolates and bottle of fizz, with a maximum saving of £19.30 at M&S. Try the Coquille St Jacques, Gastropub Lamb Shanks, Dauphinoise Potatoes, Vibrant Macaroons, Milk & Dark Chocolate Hearts and a bottle of Conte Priuli Prosecco to get the most bang for your buck. Plus, you can always keep the chocolates to one side and use them as a last-minute gift, saving you even more dosh.
SAVE: £19.30 when spending £20
A DINE ROMANCE: For a slightly cheaper meal option, with just as impressive a saving, Morrisons is offering a meal deal for two for just £15. This includes a starter, main, a side to share, a dessert and a bottle of wine. If you choose the priciest options of Smoked Salmon Mousse, Beef Wellington, Mature Cheddar Cauliflower Cheese, The Best Strawberry & Prosecco Crumble and The Best Prosecco Spumante, it comes to £29, so you can save up to £14 with the deal.
SAVE: £14 when spending £15
CHEERS TO THAT: Raise a glass to romance (and your savvy quick thinking) with a bottle of Henri Cachet Champagne Brut, £12 at Asda — down from £18.
SAVE: £6
CHOC IT OUT: Who doesn’t appreciate chocolates? At Tesco a box of Cadbury’s Milk Tray is just £3, rather than the usual £6.
SAVE: £3
Deal of the day
TRAVEL to Amsterdam, Paris, Lille or Bruges each way from just £30 in Eurostar’s flash sale. Book at snap. eurostar.com.
