Tesco has announced that it is once again increasing the price of its popular lunchtime meal deals after making changes to the ingredients used.
From Thursday, August 22, the price of the standard meal deal will rise from £3.40 to £3.60 for Clubcard members.
Those without Clubcards will have to pay £4 if they want a meal deal, rising from the current £3.90.
Tesco makes improvements to its popular meal deal offering
The supermarket giant states that it decided to pursue this move after making several improvements to the quality of its meal deal offering.
For example, it has recently opted to use cheddar matured for a longer period of time for a stronger taste and decided to use plum tomatoes for extra sweetness.
Tesco has also developed and launched seven new salads as part of its meal deal offering.
A Tesco spokesperson said: "Clubcard members will pay just £3.60 for a main, snack, and drink, meaning our meal deal remains great value and the ideal way to grab lunch on the go.

"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."
The price of a premium meal will remain at £5 for Clubcard holders and £5.50 for those without the popular loyalty card.
This is the second time in two years that the popular Tesco meal deal has gone up in price for both Clubcard members and regular store customers.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
