The Sainsbury's essentials I'm stocking up on before cheering England on in the semi-finals.
England are taking on Argentina in the semi-finals, and if you're planning to watch from home, these are the snacks and drinks I'd be stocking up on.
There's nothing better than watching a huge game with family and friends, especially when there's plenty of good food on the table. Whether everyone gathers before kick-off or people arrive throughout the match, I always like to make sure there are plenty of crowd-pleasing snacks that everyone can tuck into without spending ages in the kitchen.
That's why I think Sainsbury's is a great one-stop shop for match day. From pizzas and crisps to party drinks, it's easy to pick up everything you need for a relaxed football feast. These are the items I’m shopping for to get ready for the England vs Argentina game.
The first thing I'm buying is pizza, because it's one of those foods that everyone seems to love. The Dr. Oetker Ristorante pepperoni-salame pizza or Dr. Oetker Ristorante Hawaii pizza. Always quick to cook, easy to slice up and perfect for sharing around during the first half.
No football spread feels complete without crisps, and I'm a big fan of sharing bags that can simply be tipped into bowls. The Walkers jalapeño and cheese crisps and the Doritos chilli heatwave tortilla chips are ideal if you like a bit of spice. They have a bold kick and plenty of flavour, making them perfect for grazing throughout the match.
For drinks, I'll be making sure the fridge is well stocked too. The Desperados bottles are ideal for anyone who enjoys a refreshing beer while watching the football, especially served ice cold. For anyone who prefers something fruitier, I'd also pick up the Kopparberg mixed fruit can.
