Petrol prices i can handle
Energy prices I can also handle
But you are messing with my 30 minutes of peace at lunch with a chicken and bacon sandwich
> The sandwich, snack and drink deal will jump to more than £3 for the first time in 10 years to £3.40 for Tesco Clubcard members, and from £3.50 to £3.90 for people who do not have one.
I went into Tesco recently for the first time in a long time and I couldn’t buy anything because everything was discounted with a clubcard – which I don’t have – and my mum raised me to not buy something somewhere when I know it’s cheaper elsewhere, or in the same place but with a clubcard in this case.
The main thing I’ve noticed other than the obvious clubcard cultism in Tesco and Asda is the less generous reduced sections.
I remember pre-Covid how you could regularly get a loaf of bread or a bag of spinach dated that day for 10p with the yellow label on it. “Posh yoghurts” and milk went down to pennies regularly too.
Now they’ll reduce something that was 1.50 down to 1.39.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Wouldn’t want their costs to eat into their profits
They used to sell 3 meals for £6 around a year ago and now it’s 3 for £7.50, they also made the meals smaller, now mostly 400 grams instead of 450 grams.
Oh and if you order online and have kept your email receipts, you can click the order ID to check how much that shop cost then, and how much it costs now. So one order last october was £112 would now cost £142 today.
If you get the red bull option as your drink it’s still a RIDICULOUS deal.
Meh otherwise.
Yep. This is the 5 horseman of the Apocalypse. That 3quid deal was the back bone of every lazy bastard that couldn’t make their own sandwiches. This is a dark dark day
Tesco: Meal for 2!!
Me, a skinny little guy: you mean for 0.75 people?
Guess I’ll just stick with the £2.50 poundland meal deal then.
Lmao, that’s me not buying meal deals anymore, fuck you Tesco – no way you needed to up the price
I’ve yet to eat a supermarket sandwich, that doesn’t taste of protective atmosphere.
In the nicest way, and I’m no boomer or tory, why don’t you lazy cunts make your own lunch instead of bemoaning Big Sandwich, it takes about 10 minutes of planning, and 5 minutes per day
Tesco meal deal is a rip off anyway before the price rise.
Meal deals are more expensive than making your own lunches and hardly good for your health. Inflation sucks for us all but meal deals are nowhere near as good as people make them out to be and this is hardly something to mourn.
£3.40 is stilla bargain if you ask me.
I don’t buy meal deals very often because I take leftovers to work, but sometimes it’s convenient. I’d be fine paying £3.40 – they’ve been low price for a long time.
Meal deals have been shit value for over 10 years, why is this news now?
Expensive shit food in shiny packaging just got more expensive.
Always laugh when a labourer pops in to his local Tesco for an overpriced meal deal, and then gets a newspaper, pouch of baccy, lottery tickets plus scratch cards daily, and then wonders why his piss poor wage never lasts the week.
The quality of a meal deal sandwich is utterly disgusting tbh
I do wonder what value people place on their time, when they go on about how poor value meal deals are relative to doing it yourself. I’m not going to spend the time making sushi, smoothies, hoisin duck wraps etc, for a few quid. How little would you have to earn hourly for spending the time to make all of these various things, minus the cost of all the fruit, duck, fish, rice, sushi roll etc you would need, to be a big saving?
This is really gonna piss off the people who think Tesco owes them something.
loaf of bread £1.60
branston pickle big jar £2.20
400g of cathederal mature cheddar £4.50
that’s a week of sandwiches for £8.30
if you’re fancy go buy some marg/butter spread or whatever.
It saves lots of time. I think it’s a great idea and I just wish I was that organised.
Tesco meals deals were one of the highlights of my uni experience, half the time they were the only thing convincing me to go to a morning lecture bc I could grab one on the way back. Mark my words, this will have a catastrophic effect, student attendance will tank.
