Tesco Clubcard members will see their cost jump from £5 to £5.50, while non-members face a steeper increase from £5.50 to £6.
The supermarket’s meal deal is well-known as being a convenient lunch option for their workday meals.
This marks the third time Clubcard members have seen their meal deal costs go up, while those shopping without the loyalty card are facing their fourth increase.
In February 2022, non-Tesco Clubcard members saw prices jump from £3 to £3.50, though Clubcard holders were spared that initial rise.
