Pringles for £1.50 a tube and a variety of Kettle Ridge Cut crisp flavours at £1 each make up the table snacks included in the deal.

Head of marketing at Nisa, Philippe Rondepierre said: “People less likely to be going away on their summer holiday this year and are unable to celebrate popular key summer events, like graduations and festivals, so they will be looking for other means of fun at home.
