Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, those who celebrate the occasion may be brainstorming ways to make it memorable – from working out the logistics of breakfast in bed to launching a covert operation into what that special someone’s favourite flower is.
If, this year, you would prefer not to fork out for pricey restaurant fare, there are plenty of dine-in options that could feel just as decadent (that don’t leave you with a mountain of pots and pans to wash up) – namely, supermarket dine-in deals for two.
With the likes of Sainsbury’s, Asda and Waitrose all offering their own romantic meals this year, another supermarket meal deal to have on your radar is from Tesco. Available to buy online and in store now, there’s plenty on the menu to share the love.
With a main meal, side, dessert and drink all included, it is important to note that the £12 deal is only available if you have a Tesco Clubcard – that isn’t to say you can’t buy the items individually, of course, but they will be at full price.
Find out whether the 2023 Tesco Finest dine-in deal is your cup of tea by perusing the menu here – there are some returning dishes from last year, as well as brand new additions.
Tesco Finest Valentine’s dinner for two
As you might expect, the Tesco Finest Valentine’s dishes hail from the supermarket’s premium Tesco Finest range, with a main course, side, dessert and drink all included. There have been plenty of new additions for 2023 – including a bottle of prosecco that would cost £10 when bought separately – with 22 dishes in total on the menu.
If having a starter is non-negotiable for you, however, you may want to look at similar supermarket Valentine’s Day meal deals.
