Aldi's Valentine's Day meal deal is a serious steal, working out at as little as just £10 for two people. The dine-at-home menu includes a sumptuous mix of mains, starters, sides and desserts, and has something for everybody.

Your dessert would be the Mini Heart-Shaped Pancakes, which are priced at £1.49.
