The offer can be viewed on the website but you will need to pop down to your local store if you want to purchase it.
You can find your nearest Heron Foods supermarket by using the store locator tool on its website.
Heron Foods is owned by B&M and has hundreds of stores around the UK, mainly in the Midlands and North.
It is known for its low prices, and bargain hunters often share the best deals they’ve spotted on social media.
If you were to buy the items separately it would come to £21.46.
This means that customers can save £6.46 by buying the items as part of the deal.
And Heron isn’t the only supermarket helping households this Christmas.
Sainsbury’s has a fresh Christmas dinner for six people at £19.41 which works out at just £3.24 a head.
However, the Sainsbury’s offer is only available to Nectar card holders.
Asda’s offering works out at £4.17 per head and includes a turkey crown and seven sides including maple pigs in blankets, parsnips and Yorkshire puddings.

How to save money on your supermarket shop at Christmas
For some Christmas is the best time of the year and for others, it just means more financial worry.
If you are trying to think of ways you can have a nice Christmas without breaking the bank, there are a few things you can do.
It might be getting a bit late to join a savings scheme, but a number of supermarkets do them, and you can still sign up.
Even if it will not make much difference this year, you can always be thinking ahead to make things a little easier next year.
Morrisons, Asda, Iceland and Sainsbury’s all have Christmas savings schemes.
Meanwhile, if you are a fan of loyalty cards, Christmas might be a good time to use up your points, you might be surprised by how many you have saved up.
Also, choosing the right day to shop could save you some money too.
Find out what days and times your local supermarket reduces the items on the “yellow sticker” aisle.
If you are in the right place at the right time, you might be able to pick up some great deals for the big day.
