Tesco lunchtime meal deals face 50p price hike - unless you have a Clubcard

They are the money-saving saviour of many a worker's lunchtime but now the bargainous Tesco £3 meal deal is going up by 50p to £3.50.

That is, unless you sign up for a Clubcard.

The brand new price will come into force today, February 28, and bring the price in line with Sainsbury's and Co-op's meal deals.

With a meal deal you get a sandwich or sushi, a drink and a snack and for the past 10 years the price has been £3.

Despite all the fuss, it is free to sign up for a Clubcard AND 2,000 Tesco stores around the UK will allow Costa hot drinks, purchased in-store, to be part of the meal deal for 12 weeks, reports MirrorOnline.

Normally a Costa hot drink would cost from £1.75 to £2.85 just by itself.

Alessandra Bellini, chief customer officer at Tesco said: “Adding our ever-popular lunchtime meal deal to Clubcard Prices is the latest way we’re rewarding our 20 million Clubcard members with exclusive deals on thousands of products.

“There are hundreds of products included in the lunchtime meal deal which means more than 10 million delicious combinations available across more than 2,700 of our stores – all for £3 – offering unrivalled choice and availability for our customers.”
