National Picky Bits Day is on June 27 this year and Sainsbury’s has a huge selection of dips, breads, olives, falafels and more to choose from.
National Picky Bits Day (June 27) is the perfect excuse to skip the traditional sit-down meal and embrace a table full of delicious nibbles. This year, I’ll be heading to Sainsbury’s to stock up on a selection of tempting treats, making the most of their Buy Any 3 for £8 offer with Nectar.
One of the things I love most about picky bits is the freedom to mix and match flavours, textures and cuisines. Whether you’re hosting friends, enjoying a family movie night or simply treating yourself to an easy dinner, there’s something satisfying about creating a spread packed with variety.
Sainsbury’s has plenty of options to help build the ultimate picky bits feast. I’m particularly tempted by the Ricotta Stuffed Peppers, which offer a rich and creamy filling, alongside the Nocellara Del Belice Olives for a Mediterranean-inspired touch. To add even more colour to the table, the Sunsoaked Tomatoes & Mozzarella Pearls look like the perfect addition.
No picky bits spread would be complete without plenty of dipping options. The Extra Smooth Houmous is ideal for scooping up with bread, vegetables and snacks, while the Extra Thick Tzatziki brings a refreshing and herby flavour that pairs beautifully with a range of sides.


Speaking of sides, I’ll also be picking up some Herby Focaccia. Fresh bread is always a welcome addition to any grazing board and works perfectly with dips, cheeses and antipasti-style favourites. For something a little different, the Sweet Potato Falafels provide a tasty vegetarian option that complements both houmous and tzatziki wonderfully.
Cheese lovers are also well catered for. The Taste the Difference Crispy Cheddar offers a crunchy, savoury bite that adds another texture to the mix and helps create the kind of variety that makes picky bits so enjoyable.
This National Picky Bits Day, I’ll be filling my basket with a selection of these tempting treats and making the most of Sainsbury’s Buy Any 3 for £8 Nectar offer. All that’s left to do is gather everyone around the table and start grazing.
