Supermarket chain reveals Valentine’s Day meal deal including oysters and cocktails from £12
A SUPERMARKET chain has revealed its Valentine’s Day meal deal and it includes oysters and cocktails for £12.
With money tight, many love birds choose to celebrate the romantic holiday indoors as opposed to forking out for a posh meal in a restaurant.
Ahead of the big day on February 14, many grocers now launch dine-in deals which give customers a chance to enjoy a fancy dinner for a bargain price.
And Tesco is the latest supermarket to reveal what it is dishing up customers.
The UK’s biggest supermarket offers shoppers the chance to pick up a ready-made two-course meal with a side and drink for just £12.
This increases to £18 if you want to add a starter.
Couples could kick-start their meal with Tesco Finest Coquille St Jacques with Panko Crumb, and then move on to a Chicken Ballotine with Parmesan and Wild Garlic for their main.
This could be enjoyed with a side of Tesco’s finest Golden-Baked Potato Dauphinoise.
For dessert, diners could enjoy Lemon Meringue Oyster Shells, which feature lemon marbled meringue shells with a dark chocolate coating, filled with Sicilian lemon curd crème pâtissière.
This could be washed down with a glass of Prosecco Valdobbiadene.
Or they could choose a four-pack Moth Margarita canned cocktail.
The products need to be cooked in either the oven or microwave, like most ready meals.
It’s also worth noting that the deal is only available to Tesco Clubcard holders.
If you are not a member you will have to pay full price for the products.
You can sign up for a Clubcard free online.
Those keen to shop the offer can do so online and in stores from February 10.

VALENTINE’S DAY SUPERMARKET OFFERS
Co-op was the first grocer to reveal what it was dishing up to customers.
The grocer said couples or friends have a chance to pick up a main, side and a bottle of booze for £10.
Up for grabs is a Chicken Parmigiana, and shoppers could pair that with some of Co-op’s triple-cooked chips and wash it down with a bottle of prosecco.
Co-op said it gives customers the chance to save up to £8.85 if they buy the items individually.
Also, it is worth noting that if you want to enjoy the offer for £10 you will need to become a Co-op member.
This can be done online and it costs £1.
Many retailers will be expected to unveil their romantic ready meals ahead of the holiday.
Last year, M&S raised the price of its dine-in offer which offers a drink, main, side and dessert from £20 to £25.
On the flip side, Aldi shocked customers last year when it reduced the price of its dine-in offer by around 40p.
The deal gave customers the chance to pick up a starter, main, dessert and drink for as little as £6.77.
