Meal deals seem to have sprung up everywhere but I'm having trouble getting my head around the logic of it all. If I pop into the shop to buy some lunch then of course I'm going to get a drink - I mean fuck, I usually end up buying crisps AND chocolate because even kids get that at lunchtime. |

That all looks so unhealthy, so much sugar in one single meal. |

To understand the principle, let's look at the ur-meal-deal, the McDonalds Value Meal. My local McDonalds charges £2.69 for a Big Mac, or £4.29 for a value meal. That does indeed look like good value - you get a drink and fries for £1.60, which is much less than they would cost separately. If you want either a drink or fries, then it seems like a bit of a no-brainer to go for the meal. It's tempting even if you only wanted a burger. |

> Are you poor, mate? Or just tight? Because it's more economical for me to work while my sandwich is made and delivered to me than it is to do the busywork of sourcing the ingredients and putting them together myself. |

A continental friend of mine told me that a sandwich with crisps for lunch is a very British thing. Is this true? |

Boots is the best. I just had a meal deal of a Wensleydale and Beetroot wrap, veg sushi and a Green Machine smoothie. It's +5! |

Yeah the saving with HDMI cables is to just buy normal (not poundland cheap) ones rather than buying "gold plated, air lined" etc shit for £50. |

£60 on meal deals per month sounds silly. I doubt a millionaire would do it if he could. |

I get a salad bar from Sainsburys, maybe about twice in three weeks, for a treat. If that's busy and swarming with pensioners I'll go to Boots and get an all day breakfast sandwich (with orange bread from being soaked in bean juice), crisps (Monster Munch, Doritos, SnackaJacks or Sunbites) and then a bottle of blueberry smoothie to drink. |

I really dislike it when some cunt puts a sandwich not on the meal deal on the meal deal shelf. |

There is no mystery to meal deals - the more volume of something a shop sells, the cheaper it generally is for them to buy. Additionally people are stupid and will often by other things at the same time as buying a "deal". |

Any of you ever worked in a shop? The wraps just ended up there somehow, and what were they going to do about it, spend the morning traipsing around reorganising the fucking sandwhiches? Don't talk daft. At least they had a price ticket. |
