An American tourist visiting the UK for the first time has shared his astonishment after trying Tesco's legendary Meal Deal – and his reaction is priceless.
The visitor, who documented his experience online, couldn't believe the value for money as he explored the options at the British supermarket giant. Tesco's £3.40 Meal Deal allows customers to pick a main item, snack, and drink from a wide selection.
'This Would Cost $15 in America'
The tourist was particularly impressed by the variety, comparing it unfavourably to similar offers back home. "In the US, you'd pay at least $15 for this combination," he remarked while holding up his chosen sandwich, crisps, and soft drink.
What Was in His Meal Deal?
His selection included:
- A chicken and bacon sandwich
- Salt and vinegar crisps
- A bottle of Coca-Cola
"The quality is so much better than what we get in American convenience stores," he added, praising the freshness of the ingredients.
British Supermarket Culture Shocks
The Meal Deal wasn't his only surprise during his UK supermarket visit. He also noted:
- The wide availability of meal deals across different retailers
- The inclusion of premium items in the deal
- The cultural importance of supermarket lunch options for British workers
His enthusiastic review has sparked amusement among British social media users, with many welcoming his appreciation of this quintessential UK experience.
