Come Meal Deal with me

 Hi there!

As part of my third year Marketing course I am required to write a series of blogs on a topic of my choice. Like many students I enjoy a good supermarket meal deal and therefore, I have decided to review different meal deals from different supermarkets. So strap in and enjoy some very mediocre blog posts. 

For the first instalment of my blog, myself and my not so enthusiastic flatmate Callum ventured out to Sainsbury's Local on Woodlands drive. The choice of options was limited with the only real snack option being crisps- this was very disappointing. 


What did I get? 

Main meal

For main `I picked myself a Southern Fried Chicken wrap. This wrap was very average and lacked flavour. The wrap itself was very tough with its contents being mushy and not very enjoyable. When making the warps Sainsbury's needs to put more thought into freshness and their chicken to salad ratio. Overall, this main was not great and I would not recommend it!

Drink and Snack

For the drink I chose a Tropicana, smooth of course, this was refreshing and managed to mask the unpleasant aftertaste of the wrap. As a snack I got myself a packet of Walkers Max Punchy Paprika crisps. These crisps are one of my favourite crisps however they did not compliment orange juice well leaving an interesting aftertaste. Overall, the drink and snacks on their own were lovely but as a duo there was too much flavour clash. 

Price 

The price of this meal deal came to a grand total of three pounds fifty. I thought this was reasonable considering the quantity of items included. However, if the price had been anymore I would not have been so eager to pay due to certain poor aspects within the main meal. 



Final Score: 2/5

    Well Sainsbury’s meal deal choices have certainly gone down over the past few years. I don’t disagree with this score at all

Good afternoon!      Welcome to my fifth and final blog entry post. This week I had planned to head to Lidl but due to the disruption caused by COP-26 I settled for M&S instead.   Main Meal   For main I purchased a roast chicken and bacon sandwich. After weeks of research into the meal deal market I can confidently state that this main was by far the best. Not a fault could be found with the sandwich, and I cannot recommend it enough.  Drink and Snack  M&S’s choice of drinks was unique with them offering several quality own brand soft drinks. For drink I grabbed a freshly squeezed still lemonade which was a delight. Similarly to the drinks, M&S offers a number of own brand snacks ranging from crisps to fruit bags. For the snack I bought falafels with a houmous dip. This was good but sadly the houmous to falafel ratio was all wrong. Price  The price of this meal deal was extortionate. I paid a grand total of six pounds sixty-f...

Good afternoon,  Welcome to the second instalment of my blog which I am required to write as part of my Marketing course. Sadly, none of my flatmates were brave enough to join me this week so I grabbed my warm jacket and headed out in the rain. This week I headed out to Tesco Express on Sauchiehall street. My hopes for Tesco were high as they are known for their good selection and meal deal quality. They didn’t disappoint! What did I get? Main meal For main I took a different angle to last week’s disappointment. This week I copped myself a chicken and chorizo sandwich. The make-up of this sandwich was solid and the spongy brown bread complimented the contents beautifully. Tesco are clearly an experts in the sandwich department. Overall, this sandwich was delightful and managed to raise my spirits on such a wet day.  Drink and snack  I grabbed an orange Lucozade sport as my drink. This was a strong choice and complemented the sandwich well. For snack I went with a bit of a...
