    Tesco you should really be ashamed of yourselves. There I was expecting you to have a well thought out marketing campaign like M&S (a website with a list of tasty meals to choose from) and you haven't!
    Blatently a poor copy of M&S
    Shame on you and you are my favourite supermarket too!

    I think 2/10 is being generous. They've made a big mess of this one.

    Well, I aked them what would have been on the list if it had worked, and was it true that it was chicken and potatoes - here's the reply:

    "We are currently reviewing the offer and will shortly be expanding or amending the featured products.

    As this is an online offer we will update the website for your delivering store as soon as possible with the full list but I am not sure yet how the IT teams will be correcting the offer lines."

    Ok, this attempt was rather badly thought out by Tesco's, granted - but still, £10 dine for 2 could still be easily got from Tesco's - my point being that the I don't think the M&S deal was actually that great (alhough popular it seems).

    Well, I didn't get the M&S deal myself (despite a BIG hint to DH who works near one!) but a friend told me that the wine alone was normally £6 bottle, so it must have been quite a good offer. I think it was the sort of thing to appeal to blokes wanting to 'cook' a dinner for their loved one, as they first did in near Valentines day....DH didn't get it then either....guess I need to write it in BIG LETTERS and stick it to his work bag.........be nice not to have to cook for a change!

    I think an awful lot has been made of a simple typo. It reads correctly with the insertion of the missing letter "h".

    MEAL FOR FOUR PLUS A WHINE

    Genius piece of marketing by Tescos.
    It's BARGAIN, BARGAIN, got it? Bargin my ****.
