Cost of living: Supermarkets slash price of meat and veggies in run up to Easter weekend - list of offers

Supermarkets are slashing the price of roast dinner essentials in the run-up to Easter weekend. Good Friday and especially Easter Sunday often see families in the UK gather to celebrate the holiday with a slap-up lunch - but with the cost of living crisis ever present, many cooks will no doubt be on the hunt for bargain ingredients.

Sainsbury’s, Asda, Aldi, Tesco and Lidl will all be offering discounts this week with most offers launching on Tuesday (April 4). Vegetables priced as low as 19p at the chains include potatoes, carrots, swede and parsnips.

Be aware if Tesco is your preferred supermarket, though - the 19p veggies will only be available to Clubcard holders. Tesco has also announced cuts to its Easter mains and slashed the price of its beef roasting joint and leg of lamb by 50%.

Meanwhile, Morrisons and Asda have announced cuts to their Easter mains as well as other roast dinner brands. The offers will end on various dates - Lidl’s Easter Sunday veggie offer only runs until Saturday (April 8) and some of Tesco’s offers will run up until the Bank Holiday on Monday (April 17).

Here’s a list of what’s on offer at supermarkets in the run up to Easter weekend.
