Tesco's meal deals are going upmarket with the introduction of a Premium Meal Deal from today.
You'll have to pay an extra £1.60 if you want to try the posher lunchtime nosh, with the new deal coming out at £5 for Clubcard members or £5.50 for those without, compared to £3.40 or £3.90 for a standard meal deal.
Tesco came under fire last year for increasing the cost of its iconic meal deal for the second time in 2022, after keeping the price at £3 for the previous 10 years. Four million people snap up the offer each week at Tesco, and around seven million Brits get their daily lunches on the meal deals offered by chains including Boots and Sainsbury's. The sector brings in more than £20m.
