Tesco makes major update to meal deals with some combos costing £5.50

Supermarket Tesco has announced a major change to its popular meal deal which will see some new additions hitting the fridges. However, the new luxury products will cost more than the regular meal deal.

The new meal deal aims to give shoppers more choice when it comes to quality on-the-go food, and will include a snack, premium main and a drink, with a reported four million possible combinations to choose from.

For Clubcard holders, the premium meal deal will cost £5, which saves shoppers up to £3.74 compared to buying the items separately. However, those without a card will pay £5.50 for the new deal.
