Tesco has revealed what the UK’s most popular meal deal was in 2023

Any shockers here then?

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant - 4th January 2024

Tesco has officially revealed what the UK’s most popular meal deal combination was in 2023… and it’s all feeling pretty familiar.

We all know that meal deals are a classic lunch option for hungry office workers and for those looking for something quick to grab on the go, and it’s fair to say that Tesco’s is one of the most popular on the market – but which combination was the most popular over the past 12 months? Which meal deal was the most commonly-picked from supermarket shelves in 2023?

Well, it looks like it’s we have a case of ‘new year, same meal deal’ on our hands.

That’s because, for the second year running now, the supermarket retailer has revealed that the nation’s favourite meal deal combination in 2023 was the Tesco Sausage Bacon & Egg Triple, McCoy’s Flame Grilled Steak ‘Grab Bag’ Crisps, and a Coca-Cola (500ml).

While the ‘all day breakfast’ triple butty took the top spot for mains in 2023, this did, however, change during the festive season, as the Tesco Turkey & Trimmings Sandwich took over the coveted number one ranking instead.

The Tesco Chicken Triple Sandwich, the Tesco Smoked Ham & Mature Cheddar Sub, the Tesco Hoisin Duck Wrap, and the Tesco Chicken Caesar Wrap all rounded out the top five.

Home Bargains has announced a special two-day closure of all UK stores

Home Bargains has, once again, announced it’ll be closing all its UK stores on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year.

And it’s to make sure staff get a ‘well deserved break’.

After what has been yet another busy year for the retail industry, many workers have been left feeling like they could do with a little extra time off, which is why Home Bargains is following on with what has become a now-annual tradition by shutting up shop on two bank holidays.

All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day & New Years Day.

Announcing the move in a post on social media, the discount retailer confirmed: “All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day and New Years Day. We would like to thank all our colleagues for how hard you have worked this past year, and want you to relax and enjoy the Christmas break with your loved ones.”

Of course, this isn’t the first time the retailer has kept its doors shut on bank holidays.

Many shoppers will recall it has made the same decision to give hardworking staff a break every year since 2019.

Explaining a little more about the decision taken to close all its stores, Home Bargains said: “As a family-run business, we know the importance of being together at Christmas with those we care about most, now more than ever.

“This is our way of saying thank you to our colleagues for their continued hard work and dedication.”

Two Greggs in Manchester will be serving their breakfast menu in the evening next week

Who says breakfast has to end at 11am?

In news that’s set to be music to the ears of breakfast lovers in Manchester, Greggs is giving them exactly what they want.

We all know that brunch is a ‘thing’ by now, so now it’s time for brinner to make a name for itself instead, as Greggs has teamed up with Heinz to bring its much-loved breakfast menu back for tea time, kicking off from 4pm onwards.

The move comes as a new survey has found that the majority of Mancs (69%) admit to enjoying eating breakfast food in the evening, saying it’s ‘convenient and comforting’ – even ranking breakfast as a ‘more important’ meal than tea, as well (38% vs 36%).

Greggs says it has ‘lost count’ of the amount of customers that have tried to order breakfast items after the usual cut-off time, especially in Greater Manchester.

But luckily for those breakfast-loving Mancs, they can finally get their favourite breakfast and sauce pairing long after the morning rush is over next… but only at two Greggs branches, and only for a very limited time.

On Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October, the Heinz x Greggs Brinner collab will be available at Greggs St Mary’s Gate and Greggs Oxford Road, from 4-7pm only.

“We’ve lost count of the number of customers who have tried their luck ordering breakfast after 11am, so when Heinz came to us with the idea of making Brinner a reality, it felt like the perfect excuse to give the people what they want,” explained Zoe Harris, who is the Customer Director at Greggs.

“And let’s be honest, a Greggs Bacon Roll just wouldn’t be the same without a squeeze of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.”
