Frugal Food

Here's our weekly round-up of the best restaurant deals and grocery discounts on offer, plus this week's top supermarket voucher codes!

This week we bring you bargain Baileys, cheap fizz, free chocolate and a voucher for £10 off your Waitrose shopping! We've also got several new money-saving restaurant deals, and the best supermarket food offers around.

Best supermarket deals

I'm going to start with the best special offers in Sainsbury's this week. In the dairy section, both Sainsbury's Extra Mature Canadian Cheddar (500g) and Sainsbury's West Country Mature Farmhouse Cheddar (500g) are half-price, down from £4.50 to £2.25.

There are also good half-price deals running on 750ml of Filippo Berio extra virgin olive oil (usually £4.64, now £2.32) and several varieties of Hellmann's mayonnaise.

This 400g tin of Cadbury's chocolate biscuits has been reduced from £7.99 to £3.99. And there's also this good 2 for 1 deal on Tetley Extra Strong teabags.

At ASDA, the best deals include a 'nearly 2 for 1' offer on Carte D'Or ice cream: 900ml tubs usually cost £2.90, but you can currently pick up two (of several varieties) for just £3.

There's also a good deal on Chicago Town Edge to Edge pizzas: Each one is usually priced at around £2.45, but you can now get three for £3. This offer only runs until 17th November.

Over at Tesco, the 2 for 1 New York Bagel Co. offer is back, meaning you can now pick up ten bagels for £1.29. In the dairy section, there are also 2 for 1 deals on Flora Buttery, Cathedral City Extra Mature Yet Mellow Cheddar, Boursin and Frijj milkshakes.

These pork shoulder joints are still reduced from £14.24 to £7.10 - which works out at around £2.22 per kg. And Tesco is running a similar Carte D'Or offer to ASDA: Several varieties (900ml) have now been reduced from £2.99 to £1.49.

Morrisons is still running its 2 for 1 deal on Tetley tea bags at the moment, which means you get 320 tea bags for £3.55. And 1l of Tropicana juice is half-price, reduced from £1.67 to 83p.

Finally at Somerfield, you can currently pick up 400g boxes of Quality Street for just £2, reduced from £4.20.

There are sometimes much better deals on offer at street markets than there are at the supermarkets. Unfortunately, their local nature makes it impossible for us to cover them properly here.

If you've come across a great food deal at your local market, please do leave a comment at the bottom of the article letting us know. That way, fellow readers in your local area can take advantage of the offer you've flagged up. Thanks!

Tipple

At Sainsbury's, you can currently get 1l bottles of Baileys for £10, reduced from £18. You'll have to be quick though, as this offer ends on 17th November.

At Morrisons, bottles of Cockburns Acclaimed Port (750ml) are still reduced from £11.99 to just £5.95 (maximum of six bottles per customer).

You can also pick up a bottle of Charles de Villers NV Brut for £12.45, reduced from £24.99. And finally, Morrisons has a £10 1l Baileys deal too (maximum of three bottles per customer).

Finally, if you want something sparkling, have a look in Marks & Spencer. Until 17th November, bottles of Guillaume de Gand Champagne are on sale - in-store - for only £12.99.

Best restaurant deals

As always, the newest deals appear at the top of the table.

Cut price snacks

You can get a free 100g bar of Milka chocolate when you visit the Milka UK website and play the game to 'unlock the secret of Milka'. When you're done, register to receive your free chocolate.

Whittard of Chelsea is now running a new 3 for 2 deal - on Christmas gifts. There's a huge range of edible treats on offer, including tea, coffee, chocolates, hot chocolate, biscuits and marshmallows.

And budget bakery Greggs is still running its latest promotion: Register here and you'll get two (rather oddly-named) 'Festive Bakes' for the price of one. This offer is available until 15th November.

Finally, become part of the IKEA FAMILY and you'll get reductions on food and drink in IKEA restaurants. At the moment, IKEA is offering free tea and coffee to all FAMILY members, Monday to Friday.

Voucher codes

This first one is actually a paper voucher rather than an online code: Pick up a copy of the Telegraph newspaper on Saturday 14th November and you'll find a voucher for £10 off a £60+ spend at Waitrose.

Each customer can only use one voucher, and it's valid in-store only, until 21st November. Just make sure you read the terms and conditions carefully, as there are certain items it can't be spent on.

And you can currently save £10 on your first online order with Tesco, as long as you spend £50 or more. Just enter the code XX-PD96 at the checkout. This code expires on 31st December, and you can find out more about it here.

Voucher code promotions tend to be withdrawn quickly. If you've missed out on these, you can use the following websites to track down new voucher codes as and when they come up:

And finally... start stocking up now

With six weeks to go until Christmas, it may seem a bit early to be stocking up on festive food. However, one way to make your money go further is to start buying non-perishable and freezable goods now (as long as your cupboards can handle it!).

I've seen lots of Christmassy ingredients, sweets and snacks reduced to half-price in the last couple of weeks. Buying what you need as and when it's reduced will save you money overall. And you'll be spreading your spending out, too - so your December pay packet doesn't have to stretch quite as far.
