BOOTS has made a major change to the price of its meal deals.
The retailer has upped the prices of its meal deals for the second time this year.
Boots Advantage customers pay less for a meal deal
The cheap food offers have not escaped the cost of living crisis and people are paying more for their lunch.
Prices have risen from £3.59 to £3.99 outside London.
Shoppers in Londo have also faced price hikes as meal deals now cost £4.99 – up from £4.59.
It means that customers are paying 40p more but Boots loyalty card holders can bag a discount.
Customers with a Boots Advantage card can get a meal deal for £3.60 outside London and £4.50 within the city.
A spokesperson for Boots said: “The price increase reflects rising costs including ingredients, production and supply chain costs.
“The Boots Meal Deal remains one of the best value deals on the market with savings of up to £4.39 outside of London and £3.30 inside.”
The move comes only five months after the high-street chain first upped its meal deal prices.
Prices increased from £3.39 to £3.59 outside London and from £4.19 to £4.59 within the city.
Boots isn’t the only store that has increased its meal deal prices in recent months.
Co-op increased its meal deal prices back in May.
The price of a sandwich or wrap, snack and drink went up from £3.75 to £4 for non-members.
But if you’re a member of its loyalty scheme the price dropped to just £3.50.
Tescos and Morrisons have all increased their prices as well.
At Tesco, non-Clubcard members pay £3.50 for the sandwich, snack and drink combo – but it’s just £3 for the deal if you’ve got a Clubcard to hand.
Morrisons‘ deal on a sandwich, snack and drink used to be £3 but went up to £3.50, matching Tesco‘s price for non-clubcard members.
Boots‘ meal deal increased to £3.59 or £4.19 in London. It’s gone up 20p from its previous price of£3.39 and £3.99 respectively.
