Football fans can mix and match three selected Taste the Difference deli items for £8 as part of a wider range of food and drink offers
Football fans planning a night in can fill the fridge without spending a fortune thanks to a new Sainsbury’s deal offering three packs of popular “picky bits” for £8.
With the World Cup supplying a steady stream of evening and weekend fixtures, many households will be swapping a full dinner for food that can be shared from kickoff to the final whistle. And Sainsbury’s has put its three for £8 picky bits offer at the heart of its latest match-ready promotion, giving Nectar customers the chance to mix and match selected items from its popular Taste the Difference deli range.
The selection covers far more than a bowl of crisps and a hurriedly-opened tub of dip. Customers can browse picnic classics, sharing plates, olives, cured meats, salads, dips and hot snacks, making it possible to put together a fairly substantial spread without switching on the oven for hours.
Examples include pork sausage rolls, chicken wings with peperonata and beef and pork meatballs in tomato sauce. The wider picky bits selection also includes cheeses, antipasti, pastry snacks and other sharing food, although products will vary between stores.
The offer could work particularly well for smaller gatherings. Choose three qualifying packs and the multibuy price is £8, meaning each item effectively costs less than £3. Larger groups could double up and pick six packs for £16, providing enough variety to avoid everyone fighting over the final sausage roll.
The picky bits promotion forms part of a wider Get Match Ready range, which brings together snacks, soft drinks, beer and easy-to-serve food for people watching the summer’s biggest fixtures at home.
Selected beer multipacks are available through separate multibuy offers, with deals starting from two packs for £20. Qualifying products and prices vary, so it is worth checking which promotion applies before ordering. Alcohol should always be enjoyed responsibly.
The deal also offers more flexibility than buying one large party platter. Shoppers can choose a combination of hot and cold dishes, accommodate different tastes and add their own crisps, bread or salad rather than being stuck with several items nobody particularly likes.
