LOVE is in the air at Aldi, where couples can pick up a Valentine’s Day meal deal for two for less than £10.
The discounter is launching a range of starters, mains, sides and desserts for the romantic day, including steak and heart-shaped pancakes.

Unlike other supermarkets, the deal – which launches in stores on February 11 – isn’t a set price.
Instead, how much you pay will depend on what items you pick from its so-called specially selected range.
The cheapest combination is a £2.99 sharing bread with Camembert, followed by a main of salmon fillets with heart-shaped butter for £3.19, eaten with a side of chips or mashed potatoes for £1.99.
For dessert, you might like Aldi’s mini heart-shaped pancakes at £1.49.

This adds up to £9.66 for two, or £4.83 per person – making it a much cheaper alternative to dining out at a restaurant on February 14.
The most expensive items in the meal deal range cost £13.94 in total, working out as £6.97 per person.
Last year, the cheapest items of Aldi’s Valentine’s meal deal cost £6.77 for two, or £3.39 per person.
The meal deal is cheaper than alternatives offered by the big four supermarkets, although these also include alcohol to enjoy with the food.
