The supermarket giant is raising the price of its popular meal deal, which allows you to buy a snack, sandwich or salad, and drink for just £3 to £3.50 for non Clubcard holders.

Tesco’s lunchtime meal deal will be added to Clubcard Prices next week, which means members of the loyalty scheme will be able to accrue points for their meal deals, while continue to benefit from the £3 deal price.

The changes are effective from February 28.

A Clubcard is a supermarket loyalty scheme that allows Tesco shoppers to collect points on food, fuel, fashion and more, in-store and online.

These points are turned into vouchers, with every 150 points equal to £1.50 of vouchers, which customers can spend on further groceries or even days out.

How can I get a Tesco Clubcard?
