All this talk of meal deals is making me hungry. Bloody love a meal deal. What’s your combo?

Mine is:

  • cheese and onion sandwich
  • small tub of Pringles
  • innocent berry smoothie or Diet Coke or coconut water

Sandwich can be substituted for a tuna and sweetcorn one, but I’m in a real cheese and onion phase at the moment. Crisps can be sea salt and balsamic vinegar kettle chips or Squares depending on mood, but Pringles are speaking to me the most currently.

What’s in yours?

God I used to bloody love the Taste the Diff chicken salad sandwich, large bag of brown hula hoops and a bottle of Diet Coke. These days the fancy sandwiches are no longer in the meal deal... I usually go for egg mayo, cheesy Doritos and a Coke Zero.

Caesar chicken wrap
Chicken tikka skewers
Rubicon Mango and Passionfruit

Sainsbury's meal deal

Beef and horseradish sandwich
Costa coffee (from the self serve machine)
Fruit pot or snack pot

I'd like crisps but they are always the big packets and I would eat them all so I don't bother. No willpower
The Costa coffee is the reason I get the meal deal as it's such a good deal! I get it on the way to work. Only once a week though when I'm in the office.

Is a coffee from the Costa machine included in the £3.50 meal deal?! How did I not know this!!

I'd be sad to see them go I was at our local seafront last weekend and there was a Grandad sat there Friday evening with 3 kids. They were watching the sea all happy munching on their meal deals. In days gone by they'd have had fish and chips. These days their meal deal prob a tenth of the price . They were all happy and fed. Leave them alone!

I don’t really buy them anymore but When I get a meal deal from Sainsburys, it’s usually as follows:

Chicken and bacon or chicken and stuffing sandwich
Apple and grape bag or blue Doritos (very rarely)
Tropicana orange juice / Coke or water

I refuse to buy them in Tesco because their sandwiches are rubbish and pretty bare in my experience.

SmoothSeasDoNotMakeGoodSailors · 27/06/2023 22:48

I discovered Thai Red Curry Chicken sandwiches in Sainsburys yesterday, really nice. Packet of hoola hoops as a treat (I'm trying to cut out crisps) and diet 7up.

prawn Mayo chilli heatwaves Diet Coke

TheChosenTwo · 27/06/2023 22:50

I’ve never had one 😂😂
I only drink water and have always thought that it’s a rip off for a sandwich and bag of crisps! Saying that, the sandwich shop between my station and work is predictably a pret so I just buy a baguette if I need to pick up lunch - another rip off but at least it’s tasty!

PinkButtercups · 27/06/2023 22:50

Chicken Salad, Beef & Horseradish & Prawn Mayo depending what I feel like eating on the day.
Flame Grilled McCoys

I buy a MealDeal from co-op on a Friday.

  • Egg sandwich. Maybe tuna.
  • Brookie bar. Soooo tasty! Although I have been known to buy the watermelon slices.
  • Innocent smoothie.
NotSoLittle · 27/06/2023 23:03

Seldom have them (as I'm usually at home) but had a sainbury's one last week - chicken salad sandwich, still water and little pot of pineapple.

Salt and vinegar walkers or blue Doritos
Sprite Zero or a Ribena

Only ever a combination of those Smile

MyMachineAndMe · 27/06/2023 23:04

Tuna mayo sandwich, bottle of water and a packet of beefy monster munch. I sometimes pay a bit extra and get some fruit of it's hot and I'm extra thirsty.

DyslexicPoster · 27/06/2023 23:04

Tesco do a good one :)

Smoked ham and cheddar cheese sandwich
peperami
Starbucks caramel macchiato

I’ve had this for lunch almost every day this year, except on the few times the sandwich was unavailable then I’d pick up the bbq chicken, bacon and cheese.

SheDragonheart · 27/06/2023 23:05

Thai chilli crisps, Costa cappuccino and a vegetarian New York deli sandwich,
If being good same sandwich but 2 boiled eggs and bottle of sparkling plain water. Tesco.
If Greggs, cheese salad bun with cappuccino as drink.
