Tesco hikes prices on popular deal - and customers aren't happy

To bag a cheap and cheerful lunch, you need to sign-up to Co-op’s free loyalty scheme online.

There is a £1 joining fee, which Co-op states is to cover the cost of having a share in the company as it’s owned by its members. 

Members get benefits including personalised discounts as well as earning 2p back for every £1 spent on Co-op branded products.

Once this has added up you can spend your hard earned pennies in store. 

The Co-op isn’t the only store that has increased its meal deal prices in recent weeks. 

Tescos, Morrisons and Boots have all increased their prices as well.
