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
