Am I the only one who does it based largely on price saving?
Boots meal deal (£3.75) consisting of a drink (got to be an Innocent or similar smoothie, because they are over £2)
A salad (£3)
and a cereal with yoghurt (£1.25)

total of over £6.52, saving at least £2.50

Only costs £1 on Mondays if you're on O2.

 


Optimistic as ever

I went with:

Smoked ham and cheese
Pickled Onion Monster Munch (83p in the expensive crisps rankings)
Bottle of coke

Good shout. The mascot snack of the HOL forum.

Sometimes they have the audacity to only offer the other flavours. And those are Salt & Malt Vinegar McCoys days.

Me and my colleague have decided that there is a "manly" combo in the Sainsbury's meal deal and any deviation from that makes you look a bit of a pansy.

That combo is:

1) The "Big Boy" sandwich as we call it. The smoked ham, egg and salad double decker.

2) Flame Grilled Steak McCoys. Not only are McCoys manly crips, steak is a manly cut of meat and also they were (maybe still are) the most expensive crisp you can purchase in a £3 meal deal, and thus exploiting the loophole.

3) Full fat Coca-Cola. Diet coke is for the sorts of women that go to weight watchers without their earrings on in the hope that they won't get called a fat b****** without those tiny bits of jewellery weighing them down.

Manly lunch is pint of snakebite and black, with a whiskey chaser, with some nuts, which you expressly comment 'as I missed breakfast'.

Shop across the road regularly has a three bags of MM for a quid. Its one of the reasons I refuse to move.

Granted. I just meant out of the selection available in Sainsbury's.

I'd argue a proper bloke's daily diet ought to be:

Morning = Full English
Lunch = Ploughman's
Dinner = Carvery
Supper = Phone Babestation for a natter

Come on guys, where are the pictures?

For the record, my meal deal cost £3.25, where as full retail price is around £4.60, quids in.

2 things.

I doesn't count if it's not in a meal deal. We all know they inflate the price of the snack/drink to a) make the deal seem better and b) rip off people who haven't realised a bottle of coke and packet of crisps shouldn't cost over £2 and don't put together the necessary combo to make the deal.

And they're probably those multipack bags and not the grab bags. If they're the grab bags you might have to start doing a delivery service.

the tomato ketchup is the most disappointing aspect of my meal deal, I remember the glory days when it used to come sweet chilli sauce

Would've been an acceptable alternative to peanut sauce that would. I mean, ketchup ffs.

I'd eaten mine before the thread started i'm afraid.

I would argue that meal deals are the greatest lie told to the modern man.

In my opinion it is neither a meal nor a deal.

Often end up saving about 60p and the fact you have to choose between sweet or savoury snack option renders the meal incomplete in my humble opinion.

Having said that, today at lunch I went for Smoked ham and cheddar sandwich, a Vanilla Coke and wotsits

Well this post started off a bit negative for my liking but it ended on a high with the Wotsits comment.
