THIS isn’t just any Valentine’s Day meal deal… this is M&S’ luxury dine in for two offer for £20.
The posh high street favourite has confirmed its Valentine’s offering will return next month and it includes steak and a bottle of Prosecco.
For £20, lovebirds get a starter, main, side, dessert, box of chocolates and a bottle of drink.
M&S says there is 30 different options and 200 combinations to choose from, with main dishes including British rump steaks, beef Bourgignon and duck breasts in a plum sauce.
There's also scallops for starters, as well as a classic prawn cocktail and leek and cheese souffle tarts.

The priciest starter on the lavish menu is either the Coquilles St Jacques or prawn cocktail, which each cost £6.
In terms of main course, you'll save the most money by picking up one of the £10 options - either the rump steaks, chicken kiev or rack of lamb.
Put these together with the Dauphinois potatoes or cauliflower cheese - priced at £2.80 each - plus one of the £4 desserts, £1.50 box of chocolates and £12 bottle of Prosecco or pre-mixed mojito cocktail, and your meal would come to £36.30 without the deal.
M&S' Valentine's Day dine in for two offer will run from Monday, February 10, until Friday, February 14.
If you're a regular shopper, you might want to know that there's some new products on the Valentine's menu this year.

Sadly M&S said the Valentine's selection food selection won't be available to order online.
In terms of competition, the M&S deal is actually the same price as Tesco's meal for two, which also costs £20.
You don't get a box of chocolates with the Tesco offering, but you do get two mains included in the price.
Asda is slightly cheaper with the supermarket selling a £15 dine in offer for couples.
Last year, the cheapest Valentine's deal was found at Aldi, which started from £6.77 for two including a main, side dish and dessert.
Aldi has yet to release details of this year's offer.
