Morrisons makes huge change to popular meal deal - and customers aren't happy

Morrisons have become the fourth supermarket to hike the price of their meal deal in recent months. Instead of paying £3 for their lunch time offering, shoppers will now have to pay 50p more for their main, snack and drink from the counter.
The supermarket previously had the cheapest meal deal on the high street, matching Tesco’s clubcard price, but is now in line with non-clubcard prices, and Sainsbury’s at £3.50.
The news comes as a blow for customers as the cost of living crisis continues, with meal deal prices rising for Boots, Co-Op and Tesco in 2022, as well.

It is first meal deal price increase in over two years. In 2020, Morrisons cut the price of their meal deals from £3.50 to £3, much to the delight of shoppers. It saved those who buy a meal deal every day up to £2.50 a week, and even more if you consider the individual costs of each item. But two years on the price has hiked once more for their deal, which includes things like sushi, wraps and salads, as well as fizzy drinks, chocolate bars and packets of crisps.
Morrisons has also introduced a new £4 meal deal, which includes sandwiches from its "The Best Sandwich" range for those looking for something a little more luxurious.
Shoppers have been left unimpressed with the price increase, with many taking to Twitter to share their thoughts. Marcus @alarmed_potato said: “Devastated to discover that Morrisons, who were the last bastion of the £3 meal deal, have put it up to £3.50 Someone sort this economy out.”
