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 some great 'dine in' deals, 3 for 2 chocolate and lots of wine at less than half its normal price. We also have several new restaurant vouchers, including a great 2 for 1 deal at Pizza Express which only runs until this weekend!
Best supermarket deals
This week, I'm going to start with the best offers at Tesco. There are still good 2 for 1 deals running on Flora Buttery, Cathedral City Extra Mature Yet Mellow Cheddar, Boursin and Frijj milkshakes.
There are also lots of money-off pizza deals: You can currently pick up certain Chicago Town Edge to Edge pizzas for £1.29 instead of the usual £2.59. Some 8" Pizza Express pizzas have been reduced from £3.99 to £1.99. And Primofresco pizzas have been reduced to £1.64, from £3.29.
Over at ASDA, ten-packs of Pepperami Minis have been reduced from £2.07 to £1; and Kellogg's cereal variety packs (25g x 8) are now £1, down from £1.99. Finally, 800g tins of McVitie's Victoria Luxury Selection biscuits have been reduced from £9.99 to £5.
Good deals at Sainsbury's include 2 for 1 offers on Pilgrims Choice Farmhouse Mature Cheddar, Philadelphia and Shape yoghurts. A wide range of Sainsbury's sausages have also been reduced - from £1.99 to £1.32.
In the treats section, this 400g tin of Cadbury's chocolate biscuits is reduced from £7.99 to £3.99; and there are 2 for 1 deals on tins of both Cadbury's Roses and Mars Celebrations
Morrisons is currently running great 3 for 1 deals on a range of products: For example, you can pay £1.99 for a tube of Pringles - or £1.59 for a 2l bottle of Pepsi - and get two more of the same item for nothing! Just bear in mind that most of these 3 for 1 deals only run until 22 November.
At Somerfield, 1.2kg gammon joints are now less than half-price, reduced from £11 to just £5.
And several 'dine in' meal deals have been released this week too. The hugely popular £10 meal deal from Marks & Spencer has reappeared for this weekend, running 19-22 November. You can view the full menu here.
Morrisons is running a slightly cheaper £8 deal, running until 22 November. It too features mains, side dishes, desserts and a bottle of wine.
And finally, Tesco has also got in on the meal deal action. Until 1 December, you can pick up its £9 deal, also incorporating mains, sides, desserts and wine.
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 ASDA, you can currently pick up eight 500ml cans of Bulmers Original Cider for £6 (usually £5.28 for four).
And at Morrisons, a large selection of wine is currently being sold at less than half price.
