As Valentine's Day rolls around this month, it's best to get the preparations for a romantic meal at home sorted soon if you are planning a big night in.
With most restaurants flat-out booked on February 14, many will be opting to do something special for their loved ones at home. Swanky restaurants and extravagant presents can be nice, but sometimes it's the thought that counts. And a big night in with tasty food and cute gifts doesn't have to break the bank.
That's where Tesco comes in, as the popular supermarket has shared their latest food and gift deals for the romantic day. From two course meals for clubcard prices to a bottle of fizz for afterwards.
