What is the best supermarket meal deal?

The co-op give you a good range of choice for £3!

Aldi don't have a meal deal but give you a lot of cheap items. Sandwiches for £1.30. cheaper prices for branded drinks etc.

Where do you shop for your meal deal?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by a meal deal, I usually just buy different individuals items and randomly create meals out of the items I buy. I don't buy ready meals because they're very poor value and I prefer to prepare my own meals. My preferred places are Aldi, Lidl and Tesco. Lots of variety and options.

Sainsbury do a good £3 one.

Take a "taste the difference" sandwich, tyrrells crisps and some juicy water. Not bad for £3.

Well, astonishingly, he means meal deals.

Personally for me i like the coop stuff, a big big choice of drinks and snacks and the sandwiches seem better quality than other supermarkets.
Although it's not the cheapest I still prefer Boots meal deal they just have a better selection, plus the do Naked smoothies :drool:

Although it's not really a supermarket, I think boots do the best regarding choice. Even though it's a little more expensive than others (although at £3.29 it's still not bad) I can still collect boots advantage points with them and you sometimes get vouchers giving you 30p off :smile:

If you're buying the items seperately you're wasting money.
The Co-Op meal deal where I live is £3.25 :confused:
I think the Boots one is the best for the range of food you can get :biggrin:

Yeah I work at one and it's definitely not £3. I know it recently went up by quite a bit, I've had complaints.

Always go to the co-op for a meal deal because there is so much variety to choose from and most of it is good quality.

A meal deal is a deal where you grab a sandwich, snack and drink for a set price. Usually around £3 :smile:

Oh right, I see, thanks :smile: I don't go to co-op, but I think I've seen a similar thing at Sainsbury's supermarket.
