Tesco has increased the price of its popular lunchtime meal deal due to soaring costs - and customers aren't very happy about it. The meal deal – which comprises a sandwich, a snack and a drink – had sat at £3 for the past 10 years.
Recently, the UK’s largest supermarket chain had increased the price of the meal to £3.50 for customers without Tesco’s Clubcard loyalty card. But the new price will see the meal deal cost £3.40 for Clubcard members and £3.90 for other customers.
More than 70% of meal deals are purchased by customers with a Clubcard membership. The increase comes days after official data from the Office for National Statistics showed that food and drink inflation jumped to 14.5% last month – the highest since 1980.
