Les Cabbage Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I went to M&S yesterday for a treat, got the £10 dinner deal with my other half and we thought while we were there we get lunch for tomorrow. I grabbed myself a couple of the wee salads (2 for £3.50) and a wee reduced wrap with a sell by date of yesterday for lunch, cost £4.50 all in all, was class. However (the point of the post) she grabbed a sandwich, smoothie and one of the wee fruit snacks thinking it was a meal deal and it turned out they didn’t have a meal deal at all and it cost about nine fucking quid, £2.75 for a tiny wee tub of about 4 strawberries and 3 blackberries, cost fucking less for our dinner last night. Needless to say I’m still fuming about it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genuine Hibs Fan Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 To back up NTPs point, I loved a meal deal before I lived on the continent. Since coming back I would only ever get one when I'm stuck for anything else. The "value" hides the fact they just aren't very good 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Walkers Sensations are sensationally shite crisps and if you're buying them (meal deal or otherwise) you need to reassess your lifestyle choices. IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wtf are you expecting I have a dream that we’ll not have to settle for poxy 3 quid meal deals quibbling over value for money and instead have enough time, energy, and funds to make a nice meal for lunch. That, to me, is a real meal deal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I could have smashed my record out the park if I'd also bought coconut water - which would have brought the individual total to £6.50. But who the f**k wants to drink coconut water? It does lead me to ask though... are Tesco's losing money hand over fist every time you max out your meal deal, or are we just getting super ripped-off if we buy any of the items individually? I suspect there is a few meal deal traps(such as the coconut water). They don’t expect to sell these items any other way, so they stick a high individual price on them and make it seem like value when someone thinks f**k it and gets it as part of their meal deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken and Bacon pieces are a bit shit because cold bacon is shit. Cold bacon is OK as long as its still crispy. If I ever hear the phrase "dining al desko" I'll rip their tongue out Khal Drogo style. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Wonder crisps are absolutely shite I’m afraid and for scheme goblins, hence why they went into admin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
