Tesco and M&S offer cheap luxury meals
on February 9th, 2009 at 11:37 amTesco is offering customers a luxury meal-for-two for £9 in an effort to help them beat the credit crunch.
Finest range meals are available as part of the Valentine’s Day offer, which includes a side dish, dessert and a bottle of wine.
Marks & Spencer (M&S) is also engaging in a similar promotion but Tesco claims that its deal is better for consumers.
Commercial director Richard Brasher said: “The Finest meal for two offer means customers can enjoy a special meal with a decent bottle of wine for a fraction of the cost of going out.
“And they tell us that the Tesco deal is better than the similar M&S offer because it provides the quality they want but at a cheaper price and is more convenient for them to buy.”
A similar promotion was unveiled at the company before Christmas and this deal is available at 500 stores.
M&S’s £20 ‘Love In’ promotion is also centred around Valentine’s Day.
Last week, TNS said Tesco had the lowest sales growth of the big four supermarkets, largely because of its discounting push.
The Tesco offer looks particularly appealing. Is the Tesco store in Ludlow handling this offer? If not, what about Shrewsbury? What is the closing date?
