Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, but it comes as the cost of living crisis continues to rear its ugly head. Eating in is an option many of us turn to instead of going out for fancy meals – and this year the supermarkets have pulled out all the stops.
Along with the offers, Topcashback is offering first-time customers £10 cashback on all Valentine’s meal deals over £10. This means if you spend £10 on a meal deal, it’s free.
All you have to do is take a picture of your receipt and register via our link. To help you decide, we’ve rounded up the best deals on Valentine’s dinners from the best supermarkets.
