Best Valentine’s Day supermarket meal deals from £3.50pp

Discover budget-friendly Valentine’s Day dine-in meal deals at your local supermarket. Enjoy a romantic evening without breaking the bank!

Take it easy this Valentine’s and let the supermarkets do the hard work for you.

With starters, mains, puddings and even drinks, you just need to cook and then do a bit of washing up.

It’s far less effort than cooking from scratch, which frees up time for other cheap things to do this Valentine’s, and much cheaper than heading out to a restaurant!

Let’s see what’s on offer from the supermarket dine-in ranges this February and how much they’ll set you back.

Best budget Valentine meal deal – Aldi

• Less than £3.50 per person
• Available from 9 February 2024
