Welcome to this week's Frugal Food blog post. Let's kick things off straight away with the best grocery deals around.
Best supermarket deals
This week, I'm going to start with the best deals at Tesco. If you want to re-live your youth, you can pick up Bird's Eye Arctic Roll for half price at 99p. But be quick as this offer is only valid until 15th February.
If you're looking for a healthier option, packs of Organic White Grapes are now £1.99, reduced from £3.99. Meanwhile, 400g packs of Cathedral City Cheese have been reduced from £4.38 to £2 (valid until 15th February) and Tesco Italian Margherita Pizzas are also half price at £1.74.
Over at ASDA, 600g boxes of Cheerios are 2 for £2, and Goodfella's Delicia Chicken Provencal Pizzas are down from £2.48 to £1.
Peperami five-packs are still £1 - reduced from £2.35. And 100g Toblerones are still reduced from £1.09 to 50p.
At Sainsbury's, there are 2 for 1 deals on packs of Pringles Sour Cream & Onion Flavour, as well as Taste the Difference Sweet Clementines, and nine-packs of McVitie's Penguin Bars.
Fresh Pineapples are also down from £1.89 to 94p and 500g boxes of Kellogg's Bran Flakes are now 88p - reduced from £1.76.
Morrisons is currently offering 2 for 1 deals on a range of Sharwoods Stirfry Sauces, as well as half price packs of McCoys Crisps at 79p (packs of six).
And Somerfield/The Co-operative is offering Loyd Grossman Sauces for £1.02, reduced from £2.05, as well as a box of Lily O'Brien's Chocolates for £4, down from £9. Bottles of Sprite/Lilt/Fanta/Dr Pepper are also half price at 99p.
At LIDL, top deals include 2.5kg bags of potatoes for 50p, and 250g bags of shallots for 24p.
And at ALDI, you can enjoy a three-pack of peppers for 59p, and a bag of six oranges for 69p.
There are sometimes much better deals on offer at street markets and independent shops 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!
