First, the surf…
You won’t have to choose between lobster and steak with this deal. Two lobster tails from Aldi will only cost you $12.99 or $10.99 for a whole-cooked lobster. This is a perfect way to elevate your Valentine’s dinner for less while still enjoying some North Atlantic seafood.
Then, the turf
Then, you can get a ribeye steak for $11.49 per pound to round out the turf part of the meal. This grass-fed beef is a leaner, juicy cut that’ll remind you of your favorite restaurant’s steak.
Add a side
Serve up some delicious sides for less with your Aldi surf and turf meal. This value store has easy-to-make sides, like risotto and green beans, for a hearty meal that won’t make you exceed your budget. Frozen green beans are just $2.45 per bag.
Maybe a salad too
For your starter, how about a salad? Aldi’s handy salad kits make it easy to enjoy a light appetizer in no time, including a delicious dressing for less. The Italian salad mix is just $2.55.
Finish with dessert
You can also snag some Valentine’s Day-themed desserts during your Aldi trip to enjoy something sweet after your big meal. They have strawberries and cream rose cones for $3.99 and Valentine’s brownies for $4.29. Both are on sale now.
Don't forget the wine
Lastly, you can’t forget a bottle of wine to round out the meal and the evening. Thankfully, Aldi has their Rare Barrels Cabernet on sale, which is the perfect red wine for your surf and turf dinner.
Bottom line
All in all, you can still make your Valentine’s Day special without needing to spend big. And when you save at Aldi, you can put those savings toward a special gift for your loved one this holiday. Maybe even treat them to a unique experience or weekend getaway!
