Best supermarket deals

This week, I’m going to start with the top deals at Sainsbury’s. This Cadbury triple chocolate yule log has been reduced from £2.69 to just £1; and there are 2 for 1 deals on Mr Kipling mince pies and Cathedral City Mature Cheddar.

Also at Sainsbury’s, large and medium fresh whole chickens are currently half-price - as are several varieties of tinned chocolates.

Over at Tesco, top deals include this bramley apple pie, down from £2.40 to £1.12. And there’s a great 3 for 1 deal on multi-packs of Muller Fruit/Crunch corner yoghurts.

Free range whole chickens are currently half-price, along with all varieties of Innocent veg pot. Finally, 570g squeezy bottles of Heinz tomato ketchup are down from £2.09 to just 99p each.

At ASDA, you can now pick up this Extra Special six month matured Christmas pudding for £2, reduced from £4.49.

All varieties of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream are down from £4.18 to £2 each; and various Goodfella’s pizzas are reduced from £2.27 to £1 each.

Top deals at Morrisons include some great 3 for 1 offers: The first is on Cadbury’s chocolate fingers (which means you get three boxes for £1.59) and the second is on 20-packs of Young’s fish fingers (which means you get 60 fish fingers for £3.99).

Tipple

At Sainsbury’s there’s a better-than-half-price deal on port: Bottles of Croft Platinum Port (750ml) are usually £13.27, but you can currently pick one up for £6.

Also at Sainsbury’s, 10 x 440ml cans of draught Guinness are now £7.79, instead of the usual £15.58.

You’ll now save 25% when you buy any two cases of wine at Marks & Spencer.

And you can still get a free drink at your local Pitcher & Piano bar when you register here, copy down the voucher code you’re given, and repeat it at the bar.

The offer runs all day, every day until 5th December. Drinks included in the deal are a pint of Grolsch Blond, a Choc a L’Orange cocktail, a Pacific Sailor cocktail, a Grand Tanq cocktail, or a bottle of Windhoek lager.

Finally, you can still grab a free drink at your nearest Marston’s pub: Register here, print the voucher and present it at the bar.

This offer runs all day, every day until further notice, and your voucher will be valid for one month after you’ve registered.

You can choose from a bottle of J20, a glass of Pepsi or lemonade, a pint of cask ale (excluding Guinness), a pint of Fosters, a single JD and Pepsi, or a large glass of house red, white or rose wine.

Voucher codes

New Waitrose customers can now get £10 off when they spend at least £75 online.

To take advantage of this offer, you’ll need to pick up the right leaflet instore, which includes a voucher code (if you can’t find one on display, ask at the information desk).

You then shop online using the Waitrose Groceries site, and enter the code at the checkout. The offer runs until the end of December, and households can use one code each.
