VALENTINE’S Day can be an expensive business when you want to treat your partner to dinner but save cash at the same time.

With restaurants packed out with couples eating from special menus with hiked up prices, staying at home seems a good option.

But even then by the time you buy all the ingredients to rustle up a romantic dinner in your own kitchen, it can leave your wallet feeling empty.

However, this Valentine’s Day, Poundland are offering the ultimate budget meal with a full three-course meal for two for just £3 per person.

The budget dinner starts with a crab bruschetta antipasto, which they describe as a “decadent twist on an Italian classic.”

Using a £1 pack of tomato and oregano bruschetta, shoppers can top it with a £1 tin of crab meat for an appetiser.

For the main course, couples can recreate their own Lady and the Tramp moment with two beef and tomato pot noodles (two for £1), layered with a £1 pack of beef meatballs and a tin of Batchelors garden peas, which are three for £1.

While the dessert is a £1 Ferrero Rocher four pack that is described by Poundland as “suiting a sophisticated palate.”

However, if you do fancy splashing a bit more cash on your loved one, we have also rounded up the best Valentine’s Day meals from supermarkets such as Tesco, Asda, M&S and Waitrose.

Or you can also push the boat out with Mrs Crunch’s sumptuous puddings, sparkling wine and some juicy steak.

But if you do want to wine and dine your partner by taking them to a restaurant without breaking the bank, some UK restaurant chains are offering up some pretty tasty menus for less than £25.
