Welcome to this week’s edition of Frugal Food. 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 latest ‘Dine In’ deal from Marks & Spencer. As usual, you can pick up mains, side dishes and desserts for two - plus a bottle of wine - for £10.
The offer runs from now until 6th July, and you can view the full menu here.
At Tesco, top offers include half-price deals on green grapes and watermelon, and 2 for 1 deals on Pilgrims Choice mature cheddar, Boursin and Activia yoghurts. 900ml tubs of Carte D’Or ice cream are also half-price, at just £1.49.
ASDA is currently selling two Frijj milkshakes for £1 (usual price £1.10 each). Other good ASDA deals include this Hellmann’s Squeezable mayonnaise, reduced from £2.35 to £1 a bottle.
Over at Sainsbury’s, you can get this hot chocolate fudge cake for £3 (down from £6). There are also 2 for 1 deals on Cathedral City mature cheddar, six-packs of Muller Fruit Corners, and tubs of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.
ALDI is currently selling herb garden selections - containing six assorted herbs suitable for cooking - for £3.49.
And at deep discounting rival LIDL, you can get three-packs of peppers for 99p and 1kg boxes of nectarines for just £1.
NETTO deals include 300g jars of Nescafe Original for £4, and five-packs of Pepperami for £1 each.
And finally, over at Morrisons you can grab a £5 pizza meal deal, including two Deep Pan or Thin and Crispy 10” pizzas, a Fresh To Go £2 salad bowl, and a 1.25l bottle of Coke. Alternatively, you can save one-third on a range of baking ingredients.

There’s currently half-price bubbly on sale at the Co-op: Bottles of Charles de Cazanove Champagne usually cost £28.80, but they’re currently priced at £14.40.
Are you after some Pimm’s to make summer go with a swing? Sainsbury’s is currently selling 1l bottles for £12.93, reduced from £19.40.
And also at Sainsbury’s, you can still take advantage of various two packs for £15 deals. Carling, Carlsberg, Fosters, Kronenberg 1664 and Strongbow are all included.

And finally... win a free lolly maker!
There’s a new gadget that allows you to turn juice into ice lollies, right in front of your eyes. The Zoku Quick Pop Maker is kept in the freezer, and comes out when you need it. Your kids (or you!) can then fill it with fruit juice, keep it on the kitchen table and watch as it turns juice into lollies in around seven minutes.
Here’s the really good bit: One Frugal Food reader can now bag one of these for nothing. All you have to do is come up with a tongue twister about ice lollies or other iced products, and post it in the comments box below.
The lovemoney.com reader who comes up with the best tongue twister will win their very own Zoku Quick Pop Maker. Thinking caps on!
