Easter Sunday is just a few days away, which means many people will rush to their local Morrisons, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Aldi and Lidl before closing for the bank holiday to grab meat and vegetable essentials. Buying food and drinks for Easter Sunday can add up, especially for those who are hosting friends and family at their table.
With the cost-of-living crisis still making it tough on people's budgets and keeping grocery prices high, many will be looking for cheaper options this year. Luckily, some big UK supermarkets are running special deals, so shoppers won’t have to spend too much on vegetables.
Some of the most popular vegetables for Easter dinner include potatoes, carrots, parsnips, cabbage, and swede. Many stores are slashing the prices of these staples to a small fraction of what they usually cost, with some going as low as 4p at certain retailers. Below is a complete list of stores selling discounted vegetables and the duration of the sale.
