With the Easter weekend upon us, now’s the moment to get your shop sorted for a food-filled bank holiday. If you’re planning a big roast, costs can quickly rack up but fortunately, Sainsbury’s has plenty of savings worth noting – including more than half price off selected lamb and beef, plus a third off pork when you scan your Nectar card.

Cutting the costs when it comes to the Easter roast, shoppers signed up to the loyalty scheme can save across meat, fish, veg and desserts. As IndyBest’s resident foodie, I’ve rounded up all the best offers at Sainsbury’s to help you save this Easter.

For even more Easter treats, we’ve also tested the best Easter eggs and best hot cross buns, plus rounded up the best expert-recommended supermarket wine and best supermarket champagne.

If you’re looking for roast dinner centerpieces at Sainsbury’s, there’s a third off pork shoulder joints, more than half price off a whole leg of lamb, and money off the roast-in-a-bag whole chicken with a pork, sage and onion stuffing, if you’re after fuss-free cooking.

You can save half price on salmon, and when it comes to the roast trimmings, there are savings on carrots bringing them down to pennies, white potatoes perfect for crisping up, swede, onion gravy granules and sage roast onion and shallot stuffing, made with ciabatta and toasted crumbs finished with lemon peel.

Not forgetting dessert, you can save 25 per cent on the pistachio tiramisu, which is topped with mascarpone and pistachio cream, or there’s an amaretto tiramisu for those who prefer it traditional. Another discounted pud that I love the look of is this oat and apple crumble, made from British bramley, gala and golden delicious apples.
