Tesco have given their meal deals a shake up but some shoppers aren't happy.
Last week the supermarket giant launched a brand new meal deal alongside its existing £3.40 meal deal. This new offer is £5 for Clubcard members and includes more products.
The new range will include a wider variety of items, including meals from brands such as itsu, YO! Sushi, Pollen and Grace, in addition to items from the Tesco Finest range. The new meal deal costs just £5 for Clubcard holders, meaning they save up to £3.74, when compared to buying the items separately.

Alessandra Bellini, Tesco's chief customer officer, said: "We know our Tesco Meal Deal is hugely popular with our customers, and is a lunchtime staple for millions of people day in, day out. But sometimes you want to treat yourself to something a little special, and the new Premium Meal Deal gives our shoppers the opportunity to upgrade their usual lunch choices.
"Featuring a wide range of mains including new Finest and Wicked Kitchen sandwiches and salads, as well as options from itsu, YO! Sushi and Pollen & Grace, there are over four million combinations to be tried. What’s more, at only £5 for the full meal, Clubcard members really can enjoy gourmet on the go."
Despite the range of new choices, Tesco customers have been left fuming by the news - as many criticised the more expensive meal deal during a cost of living crisis. On Twitter, one user said: "So when are we all fighting Tesco? how is a meal deal now £5?"
Another added: "Tesco’s meal deal doesn’t bang enough for it to be £5. No meal deal should be that much, sorry." Meanwhile, a third said: "No thanks @Tesco, there’s a cost of living crisis going on the moment."
