What is your supermarket lunch ‘meal deal’ combination?

[beverleybass]

I have ploughman’s sandwich, steak McCoys and a sprite (Tesco)

When I was a student 20 years ago, I was broke all the time but always saved up for a Boots meal deal on a Friday. Shapers vegetarian bean wrap, Shapers mint chocolate bar and I think back then you could choose between a drink or a third food item. Diet Coke in the plastic bottle not the can or a packet of fake bacon crisps. Choices, choices!

Feta & tomato pasta, original Doritos and a bottle of Coke (Tesco)

None, I dont feel the need to eat or drink, when out shopping.

I don't think many people buy meal deals to eat while out shopping - my understanding is they are usually purchased to be eaten at lunchtime at work/if on a train over lunchtime etc

Eh? There is no rule when you can eat them!
I eat them when I'm at work

I mainly get them for a work lunch. Sometimes if dh and I are out on a day walk, that’s our treat lunch.

Vegan wrap Innocent Smoothie Eat Natural Bar

I don’t eat them all. It does me lunch for 2 days

😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Who was talking about shopping? I presume people are mostly referring to lunch during their working day. Not sure what's so bad about having lunch in the middle of a longish shopping trip though! Some people might even stop for lunch at a café .

Sainos- Cheese savoury sarnie, S and V square crisps, cherry pepsi max

Co Op Chicken, bacon and sweetcorn mayo pasta. With an Oasis Summer Fruits, and cheese and onion walkers baked crisps. But also partial to tuna and sweetcorn sarnie, or sushi.

love this thread.
Only on Mumsnet does a meal deal last two days

Not had one since pre-Covid but my usual would be BLT sandwich, beef Hula Hoops and a smoothie (because they're more expensive than other drinks so I feel like I'm getting more for my money).

Egg and cress sarnie, Walkers Ready Salted, Diet Coke
Or:
Cheese Savoury sarnie, Cheesy or Beef Hula Hoops, Diet Coke

What a great thread OP 😂

Wait....what? What is a cheese savoury sandwich and where can I get one? Tempted to steal Hobbesmanc's meal deal!

Egg sandwich, either beef hoops or salt and vinegar squares and a diet coke

Cheese savoury sandwiches are £1.50 in Tesco, so you might be better skipping the meal deal, same for egg mayo or plain ham or tuna.

Haven't worked in an office for aeons, so my memory is hazy as to where I'd go for them, but you can't beat a tuna sandwich and steak McCoys (interesting that they make such a good showing on this thread!)
I don't like fizzy/sweetened drinks, so would go for fizzy water.

Chicken and stuffing sandwich (or maybe chicken salad), packet of Quavers and an orange juice.

@Butteredtoast55
Cheese Savoury, often labelled as Cheese and Onion, (I get mine from the Co-op) actually MUCH more like the Cheese Savoury stotty filling I remember from Greggs in Newcastle when I was a student there in the eighties. Cheese, mayo, onion and I think a wee bit of grated carrot. It's like cheese and coleslaw but on caloric steroids. Fuckin delicious.
A Google around and it looks like Morrisons do a tub of it at sandwich filler, and as PP has said, Tesco do a cheap one too - although personally I think its too oily and not creamy enough.
Sorry, trying to post links but phone being an arse.

and you chose the ideal thread to

@BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz Morrisons are indeed the King of meal deals and it's so frustrating there is not one anywhere near me

@Badnightguaranteed

Right🤣

Tandoori naan, innocent smoothie, graze lemon drizzle (Tesco £3)

I’ve enjoyed this thread so much. Do some posters realise that photosynthesis isn’t a viable human choice?
For posterity -
Southern fried chicken wrap
Prawn cocktail walkers
Fanta lemon
OR
Greg’s Mexican chicken baguette and whatever crisps are left on the meal deal shelf.
