The nation’s favourite Tesco Meal Deal combination over the past year has been revealed by the supermarket giant – with one shock entry.
The chicken club sandwich, revered for its extra slice of bread, has overtaken 2023’s Sausage, Bacon & Egg Triple with shoppers choosing to wash their food down with a regular Coca-Cola for the second year running.
But the surprise package was two hard-boiled eggs with the supermarket’s 90g “Egg Protein Pot” jumping over McCoy’s flame-grilled steak crisps as the most popular snack item, leaving some Brits dismayed at the state of the nation.
Tesco announced the findings as part of its annual Clubcard Unpacked results, showing shoppers their most popular purchases of 2024.
One X, formerly Twitter, user posted: “The fact that the most popular Tesco meal deal combination last year contains an egg pot has made me incredibly angry.
Another said: “The most popular Tesco UK meal deal snack item of 2024 was a plain hard boiled egg. We are truly a joyless nation.”
One Brit asked: “What psycho is walking around and thinks ‘hmm could go for egg in a pot?’”
Another said: “I genuinely thought the egg protein pot was a joke product they put on the shelf for laughs. Do people actually buy it?”
Tesco has claimed it’s made a number of recent improvements to the quality of its meal deal range, including the development of seven new salads as they hiked the price to £3.60 for Clubcard members and £4 for those without a Clubcard last year,
The grocery giant premium meal deal offer, which costs £5 with a Clubcard and £5.50 without, stayed the same price.
A Tesco spokesman said: “With millions of possible combinations across our stores, our recent improvements to ingredients and more than 20 new mains introduced this summer, the Tesco meal deal has got something for every taste.”
