Morrisons is selling a VE Day bank holiday BBQ food celebrations box

The items would cost you £32.83 if you bought them individually at Morrisons, but then you wouldn't get them delivered to your home.
So it could come in handy if you're serving up a feast for the family, but it's only worth it if you're actually going to use all of the items included.
If not, we'd recommend comparing prices to other supermarkets to see whether you can get it cheaper.

It's best to be quick if you don't want to miss out, as some of Morrisons' other food boxes have quickly sold out.
The BBQ boxes will be available until further notice, Morrisons told The Sun.
Tessa Callaghan, head of food boxes at Morrisons said: “Many people are looking to get their BBQs out to celebrate - in a socially distanced way - this first May bank holiday.
"We want to play our full part in feeding the nation and we hope this BBQ food box will help more people to enjoy a sunny day.”
