Tesco’s meal deal price hike has got everyone talking, and not in a good way! 📈 Brace yourselves, as the beloved lunch option is now set to cost up to £4.25, or £3.85 with a Clubcard. People are fuming, and even Liberal Democrat MP Joshua Reynolds chimed in, calling it a “national outrage” on social media platform X.
The recent announcement has social media buzzing, with many demanding parliamentary attention. One user joked that it’s time for a recall of parliament—a rarity for the Lib Dems—but they’re onboard with it! 🇬🇧
The trusty meal deal, which used to be a lunchtime lifesaver, saw its price bumped up last August too, and people aren’t keeping quiet this time. Many Tesco fans feel let down, with some even threatening to “boycott” the deals. One shopper summed it up perfectly: “They’re not meal deals anymore, just meals.”
But Tesco’s standing firm, saying the deal still offers great value with over 20 million tasty combos available. From Chicken Club Sandwiches to Korean Style Chicken Dragon Rolls, there’s something for everyone.
The price rise is part of the ongoing challenge with food prices as inflation hits highs. In July, food prices continued their climb, with the Consumer Prices Index inflation reaching 3.6% in June, the highest since early 2024.
What’s your take on the Tesco meal deal drama? Is it still a deal, or has your lunch lost its appeal? 🥪🥤
