People looking to upgrade their lunch could have a whole new world of options to choose from
Tesco has announced a major change to its popular meal deal scheme. The new addition is sure to enhance people’s on-the-go lunches.
Whether you’re happy with a humble sandwich, packet of crisps, and can of Coke – or prefer a more healthy combo of salad, a fancy protein bar and bottle of water – there’s nothing more convenient than a meal deal. But, a new meal deal change at Tesco is set to shake things up, especially if you like Pot Noodles.
Described by Tesco as a match made in lunchtime heaven, Pot Noodles will now be available to pick up as part of your midday meal. Available in selected stores across the country, the iconic chicken and mushroom Pot Noodle will be available in the offer, which costs £3.60 with a Clubcard.
The supermarket considers the savoury pots as snacks. This means you’ll still get a main, such as a sandwich, wrap or pasta pot, and a drink in the deal.
Madeleine Boulton, Senior Brand Manager at Pot Noodle, said: “We know our fans are always looking to get the most bang for their buck, so our move into the Tesco Meal Deal as a side is our way of giving customers the ultimate ‘snackisfaction’ and for some, the perfect hack that will ensure their meal deal sees them through the day. Head down to a participating Tesco store now to get your ‘noo’ bit on the side – we are officially the new G.O.A.T snack for lunch-timers, noodler lovers!”
On its own, a 90g Pot Noodle from Tesco would cost shoppers £1.10. Building a meal deal around this tasty snack is a great way to make the most of your money.
Shoppers can stretch this meal deal offer for all it’s worth if they explore other parts of the store – not just the sandwich section. People have gradually realised other areas where they can make the deal even better.
Savvy shoppers can make the most of their £3.60 deal by using the millions of Costa Express machines in Tesco stores. Costa Express offers all kinds of hot drinks—including tea, coffee, and hot chocolates—that can be worth £3 on their own.
Although the sun is barely shining, shoppers might be interested to learn that the ice cream chillers have items that count as your meal deal. You could nab a Cornetto, Solero, Magnum, or other cooling treat as part of the popular deal.
Although a favourite among millions, instant noodles, including Pot Noodles, are not considered a healthy option because they tend to be high in calories, fat, and sodium while lacking in fibre and essential nutrients. Regularly eating them has been associated with various adverse health effects.
