Tesco raises lunchtime meal deal prices for Clubcard and non-members

Tesco has announced another lift in the price of its lunchtime meal deal, with standard and premium options rising from Thursday. Clubcard holders will pay 3.85 for a main, snack and drink, up from 3.60, while customers without a loyalty card will see the price increase from 4 to 4.25. The premium meal deal follows suit, increasing from 5 to 5.50 for Clubcard members and from 5.50 to 6 for non-members. The changes come as retailers grapple with persistent cost pressures and the broader squeeze on household budgets.

Tesco said the meal deal remains a value option for busy shoppers, noting that the offer bundles a main, snack and drink and can be customized with more than 20 million possible combinations. The company highlighted popular items typically chosen for the deal, including a Chicken Club Sandwich as the main, an Egg Protein Pot as the snack, and a Coca-Cola 500ml drink. When bought separately, these items would cost more than the bundled price, underscoring the perceived savings for Clubcard users. The retailer also signaled upcoming additions to the premium meal deal, promising new Finest sushi mains such as a Salmon Konbini Roll and a Gochujang Konbini Roll.
