Sainsbury's increased meal deal price; shoppers complain

Sainsbury's has increased the price of its meal deal to £3.95, marking the second price hike in less than a year and prompting customer complaints. The 20p increase from the previous price of £3.75, which was itself a rise from £3, has sparked frustration among shoppers. Despite the price increase, Sainsbury's maintains its meal deal offers good value compared to competitors. The meal deal includes a main, snack, and drink. While some customers are unhappy, the supermarket has also introduced new options and points out savings are still possible compared to buying items separately.
