A POPULAR supermarket chain is the first to reveal its Valentine’s Day Dine in meal and it includes a main, side and a bottle of booze for £10.
With money tight, many love birds choose to celebrate the romantic holiday indoors as opposed to forking out for a posh meal in a restaurant.
Ahead of the big day on February 14, many grocers now launch dine-in deals which give customers a chance to enjoy a fancy dinner for a bargain price.
And Co-op is the first grocer to reveal what it is dishing up to customers.
The grocer said couples or friends have a chance to pick up a main, side and a bottle of booze for £10.
Up for grabs is a Chicken Parmigiana, and shoppers could pair that with some of Co-op’s triple-cooked chips and wash it down with a bottle of prosecco.
Or they could go for the Vegan Mushroom Wellington paired with mashed potatoes and wash it down with a bottle of Coca-Cola Zero.
The products need to be cooked in either the oven or microwave, like most ready meals.
Co-op said it gives customers the chance to save up to £8.85 if they buy the items individually.
Also, it is worth noting that if you want to enjoy the offer for £10 you will need to become a Co-op member.
This can be done online and it costs £1.
Non-members can shop the deal as well but they will have to pay £12 for the same main, side and drink.

Again, members have a chance to shop these offers at a discount.
For example, the cupcakes cost £1.75 but members can grab them for £1.50
The Chocolate Melting Middle Puddings cost £3 for members or £3.85 for non-members.
The offer is available online and in stores from February 5 to 16.

It comes as many retailers will be expected to unveil their romantic ready meals ahead of the holiday.
Last year, M&S raised the price of its dine-in offer which offers a drink, main, side and dessert from £20 to £25.
On the flip side, Aldi shocked customers last year when it reduced the price of its dine-in offer by around 40p.
The deal gave customers the chance to pick up a starter, main, dessert and drink for as little as £6.77.
