Angry Tesco customers ‘boycott’ supermarket over major meal deal price change

By staff21 August 2025No Comments3 Mins Read

Tesco has announced that the cost of its popular meal deal will increase from Thursday, with some Clubcard members set to face an increased price of £3.85, rising from £3.60

Tesco shoppers have been left fuming after the supermarket giant announced it’s hiking up the price of its popular meal deal – with some threatening to boycott it altogether. The popular lunchtime deal allows customers to grab a main item, usually a sandwich or salad, along with a drink and snack for a discounted price.

However, from Thursday, the cost of the meal deal will rise for both Clubcard holders and non-Clubcard shoppers. Clubcard members will now be shelling out £3.85, up from £3.60, while those without a Clubcard will see a leap from £4 to £4.25.

The store’s premium meal deal will also be priced higher, going from £5 to £5.50 for Clubcard holders and from £5.50 to £6 for non-members.

The decision has sparked outrage online, with loyal meal deal enthusiasts branding the price increase as ‘outrageous’. On Reddit, one disgruntled customer declared: “I will be boycotting the meal deal from [Tesco] when this hike occurs.”

Another shopper chimed in: “That’s it, I’m legit done buying these now.”, reports Chronicle Live. A third added: “Everybody should refuse to buy these when you could have a week’s lunches for a fiver.”

Reacting to a post on Facebook, one individual, Jason Clifford, stated: “Will not be buying them again.” Another reader, Kyle Spencer, commented: “Everything that once was a deal no longer is.”

However, not all shoppers are taken aback by the change. Marlene Whitehead responded to the news of the increase by saying, “That’s still good value.”

Peter Collins, commented: “It’s actually still very good value compared to buying the items separately eg., Costa coffee on its own would be roughly £2.60.”

Currently, the most popular items in the supermarket’s meal deal are the Tesco Chicken Club sandwich for main, Tesco Egg Protein Pot as snack, and Coca-Cola 500ml, which currently costs £6.50 when purchased separately. Clubcard members save £2.65, and non-Clubcard members save £2.25.

A Tesco spokesperson told the Mirror: “Our meal deal remains great value and the ideal way to grab lunch on-the-go at just £3.85 for a main, snack and drink when bought with a Clubcard.

“With more than 20m possible combinations, the Tesco meal deal has got something for every taste, from a classic Chicken Club Sandwich to Tesco Korean Style Chicken Dragon Rolls.”

The news comes after a Sainsbury’s car park in a coastal town unexpectedly become a ‘top tourist spot’. In the pretty Cornish town of Bude, a Sainsbury’s car park tunnel has risen to become the top-rated local attraction on Tripadvisor, with a rating of 4.7 stars.

It’s unclear exactly when it started, but tourists started leaving humorous over-the-top reviews of the Bude Tunnel, hailing it as “magnificent” and “magical”, and drawing hilarious comparisons with Lapland or London.
