Tesco has officially raised the price of its beloved meal deal – the first meal deal price rise in 10 years.

The popular money saving deal which includes a selected Drink & Snack with the option of a Wrap, Sandwich, Roll, Pasty Or Salad is normally on offer for just £3.

However starting this week, anyone who doesn’t use a Tesco Club Card will have to fork out £3.50 for the deal.

Tesco chief customer officer Alessandra Bellini said, “Adding our ever-popular lunchtime meal deal to Clubcard Prices is the latest way we’re rewarding our 20 million Clubcard members with exclusive deals on thousands of products.

“Clubcard Prices have already given millions of customers the power to lower the cost of their weekly shop – and all while earning points for money off their shopping or rewards like family days out at Alton Towers or a Disney+ subscription.”

The price hike reflects the rapidly growing cost of living for people in the UK, who were also hit with a near £700 increase in their energy bill starting in April.
