Tesco to increase meal deal prices by 25p from this week

Meal deal prices at Tesco rose from £3.90 to £4 in 2024, or £3.40 to £3.60 for Clubcard members. This came following a similar increase in October 2022, when they jumped from £3.50 to £3.90, or £3 to £3.40 for Clubcard holders. Now, shoppers are bracing for yet another price hike on Teso meal deals. From Thursday (August 21), the price of a meal deal at Tesco - which consists of a main, snack, and a drink - will increase from £4 to £4.25 for non-Clubcard members. Those who are part of the supermarket's loyalty scheme will have to pay £3.85, up from £3.60. Premium meal deals, from Thursday, will cost £5.50 for Clubcard holders and £5.50 for those without one. A Tesco spokesperson said: "Our meal deal remains great value and the ideal way to grab lunch on-the-go at just £3.85 for a main, snack and drink when bought with a Clubcard. "With more than 20m possible combinations the Tesco meal deal has got something for every taste, from a classic Chicken Club Sandwich to Tesco Korean Style Chicken Dragon Rolls." The latest price hike has not gone down well with shoppers, with some threatening to "boycott" buying Tesco meal deals from Thursday (when the increase is introduced). Discovering that a @Tesco meal deal will be £3.85 *with* a Clubcard from Thursday was truly devastating 🫠 One person, posting on Reddit group r/Tesco, said: "Lord above give me the strength this is ridiculous. What exactly am I saving here less than 50p. Stiring up my rage OP LOL." Another added: "I will be boycotting the meal deal from when this hike occurs." A third shopper commented: "All the supermarkets raising their meal deal prices is so so so stupid, why would you not want to be the best price? Greed vs greed."

Informing fellow bargain hunters about the epic deal, one person, Lesley Moore, took to Facebook to reveal that Sainsbury's was selling plants for practically nothing. Showing off the mega haul, the mum said in her post: ''1p summer plants from Sainsbury's.'' Some of the gorgeous plants included vibrant pink and purple blooms - and there was plenty of greenery to add to her garden. According to Lesley, ''all'' branches should be running the offer, she told other members of the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group. ''I scanned them on my smart shop app.'' While most of these came in nursery pots, you could easily put them in more stylish pots - and there are plenty of second-hand options available in charity shops. And it's not just Lesley raving about the cut-price bargain, as dozens of people flooded to comments to share their finds. One Sainsbury's shopper said: ''Thank you for your post I was at my store at 7am and managed to get 30 plants.'' Someone else chimed in: ''Thank you OP [original poster]. That's a bargain 10p worth of plants.'' Lidl to sell handy garden tool in Middle Aisle and it's £65 cheaper than Bosch version A third commented: ''You're lucky they are not dead, well done.''
