Here's our round-up of the new restaurant deals and grocery discounts on offer, plus supermarket voucher codes for free delivery or up to 15% off.

We've tracked down several new restaurant deals and lots of good grocery offers this week. We've even added a whole new section dedicated to supermarket voucher codes.

So what am I waiting for? First up, here are the best deals on offer at your local supermarket.

Best grocery offers

Let's kick off with Tesco, which has reduced its smoked bacon, mushroom and pepper quiche (400g) from £1.99 to 99p. It's also knocked down the price of its Italian pepperoni and margherita pizzas from £3.49 to £1.74.

Other good Tesco offers include 2-for-1 deals on 500g Nestle Shreddies (priced at £1.96) and 200g Fox's Glacier Mints (£1.05). They're best eaten separately though!

At ASDA, the best deal is probably still the British beef mince (500g) reduced from £2.20 to just £1.

Sainsbury's is running 2-for-1 deals on several items in the Mr Kipling range, including these jam tarts, these mini Battenburgs and these Victoria Mini Classics. Other good Sainbury's offers include this seven-pack of Hula Hoops, reduced from £1.11 to just 55p.

Somerfield's best offers are in its frozen food section. Bargains include half-price deals on a range of Ben & Jerry's ice cream; 500ml pots have been reduced from £4.41 to £2.20 each.

And finally - ALDI has some cracking deals on fruit and veg. You can currently get a mango, an avocado, a pack of tomatoes, a cucumber, a pack of little gem lettuces or a bunch of celery - all for just 29p each!

Tipple

One of the best deals on booze this week comes from Somerfield: Ten-packs of Stella Artois (330ml) have been reduced from £10.99 to just £5.99.

Alternatively, Morrisons is still running better-than-half-price deals on a range of white, red and rose wine.

You can also get free delivery on wine by the case from Tesco. Just be aware this offer ends at midnight on Sunday and you must order in multiples of 12 bottles.
