Boots shoppers have expressed their anger after spotting a rise in the cost of the retailer's meal deal - branding the increase as 'unexpected'. For years, the Nottinghamshire based company has been praised for its £3.49 value deal on items such as salads, sandwiches, drinks and other snacks.
However, Boots has now been in the firing line of a number of unhappy customers after they saw how much its meal deal bundle now costs. The hike is the second time the chain has risen the price of its meal deal.
The retailer has now bumped up the price from £4.19 to £4.99 in London, and from £3.59 to £3.99 elsewhere, Manchester Evening News reports. The price of Boots' meal deal went up a the start of this month and it is the second time the retailer has increased its lunch combo this year, having last upped the cost in March.
