'I tried Marks and Spencer's new Dine In for £10 steak deal - but something didn't quite add up'
There's something about a Marks and Spencer meal deal that gets shoppers all kinds of excited. The retailer hails itself the "Home of Dine In" and since launching their meal deals back in 2008 have sold an eye-popping 200million of them.
So the deal itself is to make your choice of steak cut - ribeye, rump or sirloin, with two steaks in a pack, or you can go for a rotisserie chicken or salmon fillets. You then have a choice of just ONE side - so that's either veg or chips - and a choice of one sauce to share from a list including peppercorn, Diane and bernaise.
We all know supermarket prices are on the rise, but it just feels a bit stingey to me to just have one side and not to throw in some veg on this one. And I'm not the only one to notice it. Louise_akie added: "You have these meal deals spot on, such good value. Your steak sauces are the best."So, would the "restaurant quality" of the offering, as M&S put it, make it worth the deal price? Well there was only one way to find out so I headed to buy one of the deals for myself.
But in reality, if you were buying items for a meal for two, I have to question who would buy a £4.50 large box of frites for four had it not been in the meal deal. Especially considering you can buy a regular box for two for around £2.60. How do the M&S prices compare to Aldi? As one commenter on social media pointed out, "Aldi's is still cheaper". But is that true?
