Or if you’re avoiding alcohol, the price goes down to £12 if you substitute the bottle of booze for a soft drink.
The meal deal could be a good option as restaurants remain closed around the country due to coronavirus restrictions.
The biggest saving of £9.80 comes if you choose any starter, steak, mashed potato, chocolate tortes and the prosecco.
This combination of food would usually cost £24.80 – but you’ll only pay £15 because of the meal deal.
But the meal deal is more expensive than last year, when The Co-op charged £6 for its Valentine’s Day offering – although this didn’t include a side or drink.
