THERE’S just two weeks to go until Easter and shoppers are preparing to celebrate in style.
A few bottles of prosecco is a fancy way to toast the holiday – here’s the cheapest places to stock up ahead of Easter weekend.
Supermarkets are slashing the price of prossecco for Easter
Supermarkets often battle it out to provide the cheapest boozy deals around significant celebrations like Easter and Christmas.
And with just a couple of weeks left, they’re slashing prices even more.
So now could be a good time to stock up your drinks cabinet.
You should always shop around to see where you can find the cheapest price.
It’s sometimes a good idea to check prices before big events like Easter, as stores can sometimes hike prices with demand.
We’ve done most of the hard work for you though, and found some corkers all under a tenner.
Here are some of the cheapest bottles you can buy right now from your local supermarket.
Lidl
Lidl has slashed the price if its Allini Prosecco Spumanteto to £4.49 from £5.49.
But to bag the bargain, you’ll need to make sure you scan the Lidl Plus app when buying the booze.
You’ll need to download the discounter’s free app in order to sign up.
The Plus card app lets you unlock money-off coupons when you reach your spending targets each month, and is a great way to save on Lidl’s already low prices.
Lidl’s prosecco is deal available from now until April 3.
Tesco
Tesco is selling a 75cl bottle of Plaza Centro Prosecco for £6.
With the Tesco price though, there is a catch.
You’ll need to have a Clubcard to bag the bottle for £6.
Without one it’s £7 – the deal is only running until New Year’s Day too, so you’ll need to be quick to cash in if you want to save the extra £1.
It’s free to get a Tesco Clubcard, you just need to sign up and you’ll be able to start using the rewards scheme straight away on your phone.
Asda
Asda has some of the cheapest bubbles that you can buy in time for Easter.
Its Nice Drop prosecco is only £4.99 to buy right now.
The plonk has been slashed down in price from £5.75 and it’s exclusive to Asda.
It’s not clear when the deal will end, so it might be best to get the deal sooner rather than later and before it disappears.
Morrisons
Morrisons is also among the cheapest, with a bottle of Coppiere Prosecco Frizzante coming in at £5.50.
It’s also got a volume of 75cl but the bottle is 51p dearer than Asda and £1 more than Aldi.
The fizz has been reduced from £6.50 and Morrisons describes it is “fun and fruity with apple and pear flavours”.
Sainsbury’s
Sainsbury’s own fizz is the cheapest that the supermarket is offering.
For £6 you can buy Sainsbury’s Prosecco Frizzante which is 75cl of bubbles.
The supermarket even describes the bottle as a “gentler style of fizz with a soft sparkle.”
Iceland
Iceland’s Dandelione Prosecco is £6.95, making it one of the most expensive bottles.
The 75cl fizz bottle has been reviewed by 38 customers online who all agree it’s got a great flavour and great value.
One said: “Excellent wine nice smooth taste great buy.”
Another wrote: “Reckon this prosecco is really really good.
“Without paying a fortune you get a fantastic drink – I add a little orange juice and who’d know it wasn’t a proper Bucks Fizz?”
Marks and Spencer
Marks and Spencer’s La Vita Prosecco is the most expensive of the bunch at £7 for 75cl.
The posh shop describes it is “sparkling and light with notes of green apple, white blossom and citrus.”
You can pick up a bottle at your local M&S or you can order it online through Ocado.
Aldi
A bottle of Aldis’ Asti D.O.C.G. Vino Spumante is also £4.49 – the same price as Aldi fizz.
It is described as an “aromatic sparkling wine” with a “sweet aroma”.
You can pick a bottle up from your local Aldi store, or book a collection slot online.
Meanwhile, we tested supermarket own-brand Easter eggs – the winner beats M&S and tastes like an iconic cake.
We also tried eight supermarket hot cross buns to find the best.
How can I save on my supermarket shop?
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
