Best supermarket deals
This week I’m going to kick off with the new Dine In deal from Marks & Spencer. As usual, you can get sides, mains and desserts for two - plus a bottle of wine - for £10.
The latest offer runs from now until 16th November (Tuesday) and you can view the full delicious menu here. Mmmm Crème Brûlées!
At ASDA, top deals include 30 free range eggs for £3, Haagen Dazs ice cream at £2 a tub (down from £3.94), and a wide range of Homepride sauces at 50% off.
You can also pick up two 700g bottles of Heinz tomato ketchup for £2 (usual price £2.09 each); and various varieties of Pringles are half-price, at 93p a tube.
Over at Sainsbury’s, 500g packs of Pilgrims Choice Mature Cheddar are half-price at £2.25, and a wide range of chocolates are still half-price, too - perfect for Christmas preparations.
Tesco offers include a great 3 for 1 deal on Mr Kipling deep filled mince pies, which means you get 18 pies for just £1.50!
Frozen Bernard Matthews 4kg turkeys are half-price (£10); and there are currently 3 for 1 deals on a range of breakfast cereals - including 500g boxes of Kellogg’s Frosties and eight-box Kellogg’s Variety packs.
At Morrisons, there are 2 for 1 deals on After Eight mints and 200g jars of Douwe Egberts coffee.
And also at Morrisons, 950g tins of Roses, Celebrations, Quality Street and Heroes chocolates are all less than half their normal price, at £4.49 each.
Deep discounter LIDL is currently selling 1kg of carrots for 29p, whole cauliflowers for 39p, and 1kg of apples for 99p.
Meanwhile, rival ALDI is offering eight kiwi fruit, 350g of mushrooms and six green apples - all for 69p each.

Tipple
This week, it’s all about the bubbly.
You can currently get your hands on lots of half-price Champagne at Morrisons: All the bottles on offer are right here.
And there’s also a good half-price Champagne deal at Naked Wines: Buy a case (six bottles) of Claude Baron Brut Champagne, and you’ll pay £77.04, as opposed to the usual £155.94. That works out at just £12.84 per bottle.
This offer runs until 30th November (subject to stock) and each customer is only allowed to buy one case.
Finally, you can get £10 off orders over £20 at YourFavouriteWines. Just enter the code YFWOFFER10 at the checkout.
This offer ends on 15th November, so you’ll have to move quickly!
