What's the tastiest meal deal? And for the health conscious, the healthiest meal deal?

Is this a McDonald's thing?

Morrisons' meal deal can be healthy, the snack choice has lots of fruit and yoghurt options and the drinks include coconut water and other stuff.

Buy a bag of fruit for your desk, take drinks that are healthy, make a nice healthy sandwich or salad to go with them.

Just go into Greggs and randomly point at beige stuff. Have a diet coke. Diet coke absorbs all the calories in the beige stuff so it's healthy. FACT!

They don't always run meal deals but when they do the ones from Cook are very tasty (as are all the non deal meals).

Boots deal is very good. Can get over £6 rrp for £3.29. Quite a few poncy drinks and snacks plus all sandwiches included. Quite a bit of healthy-ish stuff too. Tesco is the worst. None of the good sandwiches or drinks and limited snacks.

M&S balanced for you at 3 for £10 are very good. Microwaves in five mins.

Lunch or dinner op? Sainsbury for lunch pretty good but always end up picking naughty things but only have once in a while when I've not made my packed lunch. M and s are brilliant for £10 meal for two. Favourite is a whole marinated chicken you roast in a bag, side, lovely puddings including things like a whole apple or key lime pie and a bottle of wine. Amazing value. Must be a loss leader.

Coop for lunch - £3.25 for choice of sandwiches or some salads + 'snack' (fruit, crisps, even hard boiled eggs) + quite good choice of drinks.

Waitrose for the dinner one - main + side, choose between starter and pudding + either wine or chocolate. Not run all the time but I think on this weekend.

Co-op is a fave of mine, I like the pasta bowls - they seem to manage to do it for roughly half the calories of Tesco, and the little pot of garlicky olives and a Diet Pepsi for me.

Tesco Express meal deals aren't bad health-wise for £3.

Eg. Layered prawn salad; Pink Lady apple slices; 500ml Coke Zero.

Problem is, I struggle to resist their bag of custard doughnuts for 70p! 😆

It seems not to be widely know that if you order a McD's breakfast meal deal you can ask for your hash browns to be swapped for a fruit bag.

But for the op, M&S do good ones, I recently had a chicken salad wrap with fruit pot & water for £3.75.

Must say that pissed me off yesterday. Grabbed a BLT/crisps/drink. Not Taste the Difference or owt, just a normal BLT. Not in the meal deal. Only options left were a Turkey Club or Chicken Salad. Dozens of other sandwiches excluded from the meal deal that will get thrown out. Very sensible.

I get excluding Taste the Difference sandwiches from the meal deal, but not seemingly normal ones.

Probably because it's the shittest substitution ever? You can also swap the bacon for a punch in the face, but few do 😉

Eat 4 less in birmingham will violently slap a baguette, fries and a can of coke into your hands for £1.74. They won't give you a bag though, so you have to juggle it back to the office.

It's not too bad either tbf.

I notice the sainsbos meal deal only had crap sandwiches in now, pretty much just cheese, ham or tuna mayo included.

The coop offers piss me off, as the tills do the offers in the order they are put thru the till, and don't recalc if a better offer becomes apparent

Eg bottle of pop is £1.35 or 2 for £2
Part of a meal deal at 3.25 but offers can't be combined so depending on the order the stuff goes through the till (done by the halfwitted cashier)? the price could be £4.60 or £5.40.

Just give it to them in the right order. Used to do the same with Boots, if you're buying fruit and crisps (say), the first scanned one gets included in meal deal, just make sure it's the expensive one.

Oh I do now, it's just a pain if you have a basket full/picking up stuff for others. I just wonder how much they make on not always giving the best offer.

Definitely Morrisons.

£3 for a "medium" salad box (which is actually huge), plus OJ/smoothie/coconut water for the drink and fruit for the snack.

I work just opposite from a Morrisons so get these every day for lunch. I usually go for their butter flapjack for the snack though and stockpile them at home because they make great energy bars for riding.

'YOU’VE RUINED MY DAY… POSSIBLY MY LIFE'

Yep, that summed my feelings up after I couldn't have a cheeky monday Chicken Fajita wrap in my meal deal. 😡

Boots meal deal for sure

Haven't had one in ages, but they're always good. I always get the chicken triple - with sweetcorn, with salad, and with bacon

If you think Sainsburys customers are upset, if Waitrose stop doing free coffee I think the world will come to an end with a mass middle class uprising.

Agree with the taste side but certainly not healthy, not sure how much sugar is in the salad and the sauce but the changes in blood sugars levels (Type 1 diabetic) are phenomenal!!!

The sainsburys meal deal scandal is crap especially as teh independent sarnie shop next to my work put their meal deal up from £4->£5 the day after the brexit vote 😥

Fantastic value, much nicer food than the equivalent Tesco or Sainsbury.
