Ham, cheese and tuna or salmon are more than enough. Simply trim crusts and cut into rectangular fingers to make them feel special.
Making your own cake is also a lovely gesture for Mum and you can create a Victoria sponge cake for 48p a serving by following the recipe on realfood.tesco.com.
However, if you’re not feeling creative in the kitchen, head to Lidl and you can pick up a four-pack of scones for £1.49, plus clotted cream, £1.99, and strawberry jam, £1.49, if you’re a loyalty member.
You can also get cakes including carrot cake, lemon drizzle and red velvet for £2.50 from Sainsbury’s with a Nectar card.
For finishing touches why not dig out a clean table cloth and napkins to make the experience feel fancy.
And add some cheap blooms to the table – a bunch of daffodils is £1 from Sainsbury’s.
