Ranking the best supermarket Valentine's Day meal deals - from M&S to Tesco (1)

Supermarket Valentines Day 2023 meal deals ranked

Asda takes the top spot this year thanks to their epic new meal deal. There is plenty to celebrate this Valentine’s Day, as Asda’s meal deal will see you get a three-course meal and a box of chocolates, which will only set you back £15. You also have the option to swap out the box of chocolates for a bottle of wine.

The supermarket has brought back some fan-favorite dishes from previous Valentine’s Days, but added 17 all-new items to the menu. The meal for two includes a starter, main, two sides, dessert, and wine or chocolates for less than £20. A pretty sweet deal if you ask us.

With the choice too numerous to list, we thought we’d pick out some highlights from Asda’s romantic meal deal menu: Truffle Mac ‘n’ Cheese with Slow Cooked British Beef, Vegan Mushroom Arancini Hearts with Truffle Dip, 30-Day Dry Aged Sirloin with Smoked Garlic Butter, British Duck Breasts with Morello Cherry Sauce, Plant Based Wellington with Mushroom Duxelle, and Cod Fillet with Samphire & Sicilian Lemon & Marjoram Butter are some of the stars.

Asda has gone a step further by also giving couples a free Sky Movies voucher when shopping the meal deal.

Co-op and Tesco take joint last place

Supermarket giants Tesco and Co-op rank last in comparison with the other Valentine’s Day meal deals.

Co-op has a three-course meal for two available this February costing £15. It comes in at £12 for Co-op members. However, you’ll have to pay for booze on top of your meal, meaning that this deal with drinks included will hit near the £20 mark.

Similarly, Tesco will have a three-course meal deal for two available for £12 but only for Tesco Clubcard holders. Tesco does, however, throw in a bottle of Prosecco with the meal deal. Yet it is only available for those with a Clubcard and has less choice than the higher-ranked supermarkets.

Wherever you choose to get your Valentine’s Day meal this year, we’re sure you’ll be happy eating!
