US EditionTesco meal deal price rises by 25p
Tesco raised lunchtime meal deal prices by 25p for Clubcard holders and 25p for others amid a 4.9% annual rise in food costs, impacting 80% of shoppers.
- On August 21, 2025, Tesco increased the cost of its midday meal deal by 25p, bringing the price to £3.85 for Clubcard holders and £4.25 for those shopping without the loyalty card.
- The price rises follow years of ongoing cost pressures, including inflation and added business taxes, which retailers described as increasingly difficult to absorb in a letter signed by over 60 retail bosses.
- Tesco's premium meal deal price also rose, from £5 to £5.50 for Clubcard holders and from £5.50 to £6 for those without a Clubcard, reflecting persistent food price inflation of 4.9% in the year to July.

- These price increases suggest retailers face sustained inflationary pressure, which may push further price rises as businesses struggle to manage higher operational costs.
