£27.85 (save £13.95)  Shop

One unmissable deal we think is likely to sell out fast is on the Waitrose British Succulent Whole Leg of Lamb (typically weighing 2.2kg), which is highly rated by Waitrose customers for its flavour and quality.

Usually £41.80, you can snap up this high-welfare lamb joint for just £27.85 this week, an unmissable saving of £13.95 and set to feed larger families and gatherings.

If you’re cooking for fewer people, the slightly smaller Waitrose British Native Breed Small Beef Topside is an excellent, affordable choice, reduced by a third to just £13.19. 

Whether you devour it in one sitting or keep some aside for leftover sandwiches on Easter Monday, this top-rated cut is sure to impress.

After something a bit different for your Sunday lunch? The brand has also reduced select meat and fish by 25 per cent, so if you’ve been dreaming of a pork joint with irresistible crackling or vibrant Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon on your Easter table, there's never been a better time to shop.
