What’s your go-to meal deal selection?

[AintNobodyHereButUsChickens]

For me, I LOVE the chicken club sandwich from Tesco, I usually try and pair it with a fruit pot (either Pink Lady apple slices, or pineapple chunks) and an apple juice if they have it, or Pepsi Max Cherry, or Dr Pepper.

I don’t get them often, I last had one a couple of weeks ago and before that, it was months ago! Although in the summer of 2024 I got a bit addicted to the chicken club and had 2-3 meal deals a week for about 2 months until one day I couldn’t stomach even the thought of it! But I like them again now, although not like the other year.

@Kibble19there was an article last week saying Tesco had announced that the egg pot is the most popular snack in their meal deal?!

There’s no way!

Crisps, chocolate, yoghurts, meat-based snacks, fruit pots, veggies to dip in hummus and a miserable boiled egg is most popular? That can’t be true. 😂

Cheese and onion (mayo) sandwich. Occasionally Prawn cocktail or tuna mayo. Cherry Pepsi max. Occasionally a smoothie. Snack varies a lot depending on how I feel at the time, so could be brownie slice, or crisps, or fruit tub.

That is one snack I never have (shudders)

Smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich, salt and vinegar crisps (Discos if they have them) and diet coke, fizzy water if no diet coke available.

Ooh I never have them as I don’t leave the house but years ago when I worked, M and S did a New York pastrami sandwich that was DIVINE!! I would choose that if they still do it with some fruit and a cherry coke!

BLT, prawn cocktail crisps or a sausage roll and some sort of coffee.

Cheese & onion sandwich
steak mcCoys
pepsi max

Cheese ploughman’s, pineapple pot and Tropicana OJ.

So many people choosing a cheese and onion sandwich. I'm appalled. I could only eat that toasted.

I thought I was a lonely freak cheese and onion lover - thrilled to have found my people 😂

Chicken Caesar salad, sushi snack, Starbucks coffee or a Diet Coke. £3.85 with Tesco Clubcard

@Kibble19@ABeerInTheSunshineMakesMeHappy apparently top snack for the second year running?!

not in my meal deal!

Cheese ploughman’s sub from the co op with salt and vinegar squares and a cherry coke.

Coop staff here. Southern fried chicken wrap, millionaire slice and a vimto or an innocent smoothie. I sometimes skip the meal deal and just get whatever reduced sandwhich/sushi etc is in the clearance bay. Had a new one the other day, an American Hot Wrap. Def recommend. Was rather yummy.

korean sushi, Pepsi Max lime and flamin’ hot monster munch

Cheese and onion sandwich, Cool Original Doritos and a Lipton's Ice Tea (lemon preferably but I don't mind peach flavour.)

I haven't had one for months and months and now I really want a meal deal 🤣

Egg and cress
Salt + vinegar crisps

Been having a Tesco meal deal for lunch once a week when I visit the office for the past year. Only found out yesterday that the coffee from the Costa machine is included. £3.20 on it’s own and the meal deal was £3.85 (chicken salad sandwich + walkers baked ready salted). Bargain! And means I can still get my daily lunchtime coffee (only have instant at the office sadly).

can’t get over how many people choose a cheese and onion sandwich!

I tend to go for some kind of chicken wrap, salt and vinegar squares and orangina/ribena

I have to say I'm surprised and I am one of those people choosing the cheese and onion sandwich.

I'm not a vegetarian but I find the "meat" in any of the chicken or bacon or other meaty sandwiches absolutely disgusting so I'll always choose a veggie meal deal.

I like the egg pot

waitrose: salmon and grain salad, innocent smoothie, egg and spinach pot

anywhere else: chicken Caesar/bacon wrap, innocent smoothie, hula hoops

I've never had one. I don't like the thought of how long they may have been sitting there. I actually have no idea but it always plays on my mind. I always go for something freshly made.

The sandwiches have a shelf life of same day or next day, usually. I would rely more on a supermarket to keep a cold chain intact than a “local” sandwich bar.

There have been incidents in the news with them recalling some because of bacteria and food poisoning and I can't get that out of my head
