Tesco launches Valentine’s meal deal – and it will save you a whole load of money

On Valentine’s Day, there’s nothing better than a relaxing night in with your other half.

And if you’re yet to find the partner of your dreams, it’s the perfect excuse for a girly get-together or a night full of me-time.

But sometimes it’s just too much effort to get the pots and pans out and whip up a nice meal. And a takeaway just feels too naughty when it’s not a Friday night.

Enter – supermarket meal deals.

Since the Marks and Spencer dine in for two deal (which was recently axed) launched more than 10 years ago, stores across the country have followed suit with restaurant-worthy offerings all available at a purse-friendly price.

Budget supermarkets Aldi and Asda are both running meal deals that come in at less than a couple’s trip to the cinema.

And now leading supermarket Tesco are joining in the meal deal game – and it even contains a bottle of Champagne!

As part of their high-quality Tesco Finest range, the retailer’s Valentine’s Day meal deal offers a choice of four starters, eight mains (of which you can choose two), five side dishes, five desserts and either a choice between five different bottles of their fan favourite tipples (Champagne, Prosecco, Malbec, Pinot Grigio or a Provence Rose) or a box of their Finest Belgian Chocolate Selection box.

Their starters include: Finest Caramelised Red Onion & Camembert Sharing Bread (YES PLEASE), Finest Slow Roast Tomato and Mozzarella Tartlets, Finest Chicken Liver Parfait and Finest Italian Antipasto.

For mains choose from: Finest Lamb Shank with Seasonal Vegetables, Finest Lobster Mac & Cheese, Finest Chicken in Champagne sauce, Finest Sirloin Steak with Diane Butter, Finest Seabass with Roasted Shallot and Garlic Butter, Finest Beef Wellington, Finest Flat Iron Steak with Black Pepper Sauce or their Finest Goats’ Cheese Tart with Maple Roasted Butternut and Caramelised Onion.

You can also add a side of their Finest Potato Dauphinoise, Finest Triple Cook Chips, Finest Caramelised Onion and Cheddar Rosti Hearts, Finest Petit Pois with Chantenay Carrots with Herb Butter or the Finest Green Vegetables selection with Herb Butter.

And of course no meal is complete without dessert, for which they have on offer: Finest Coconut, Mango and Passion Fruit Desserts, Finest Raspberry and Passion Fruit Cheesecake Slices, Finest Salted Caramel and Belgian Chocolate Profiteroles, Finest Belgian Chocolate Tarts and their vegan Finest Chocolate Brownie Heart.

You can get the deal in Tesco branches across the country for only £20, meaning you could save up to a whopping £13.70, depending on which combo you choose.

It’s available from 8th February so you can stock up just in time for the day of love.
