Swap your night out at the local curry house for an Indian ‘Meal for 2’ box from Sainsbury’s and, with three to choose from and at only £6.49 each, you can afford to ‘eat in’ more often: Sainsbury's Chicken Makhani/Jalfrezi Meal, Butter Chicken/Korma Meal or their Indian Tikka Korma Meal. Sainsbury’s currently have a special ‘Buy two meals for only £12’ offer on these box meals, so you could invite friends round to enjoy your ‘night in’.

 

At the same time, why not take advantage of another Sainsbury’s offer of 2 large bottles (660ml) of Cobra Indian Beer for only £3 - everyone’s favourite curry component! You can order your ‘night in’ goodies online and have them delivered along with your weekly food shopping, straight to your door! A night out at an Indian restaurant can cost upwards of £30 per couple, so your ‘night in’ could save you over £13!

Swap a night out at the cinema for a night in with one of the latest DVD releases from Sainsbury’s. Try ‘Mamma Mia’, the larger-than-life musical epic straight from the smash hit stage show. Bringing you an all-star cast, the songs of ABBA and an extravaganza of dancing and laughter, it’s THE feel-good film of the year and only £13.97 from Sainsbury’s online or in-store! A night at the cinema can set you back over £20 for two, when you consider the cost of transport, drinks and other cinema refreshments. This alternative night in already saves you £6 per couple and you can watch the film again and again, and press pause to refill your wine glass!

Swap your night out with friends for a dinner party at home. Re-discover your cultural talents and take turns to be party host with your friends on a regular basis. Visit the ‘Food Ideas’ section at www.sainsburys.co.uk for delicious and easy to prepare recipe ideas for entertaining…here’s PROSPERO’s  pick of the best.

Spicy Soy Beef - Mix soy sauce, grated ginger and chopped red chilli with clear honey, and coat your beef joint 20 minutes before the end of cooking for a flavoursome twist on a traditional roast. Serve with roasted carrots and parsnips or stir fried veg.

 

Nifty Nectarines – Halve six yellow flesh nectarines, glaze with butter and sugar, then bake in the oven at 200°C for 20 minutes. Serve with warm vanilla ice cream.
