  • Apologies if this is a daft question but I don't usually go in Morrisons -
    do you have to buy all the items to qualify for these cheap prices or can you just get individual items at the reduced prices?

    Really? I don't mean to sound confrontational but have you confirmed this in store?


    Looking at the prices I would say that you could buy them individually say the Main course, salad and dessert for £4 (£2.20+80p+£1) without the wine, a good deal if you don't drink.
    All their other deals have been available to buy at the same cost individually, for instance I only bought the sausages and coleslaw from their BBQ meal deal and they were the same price individually as in the meal deal.

    Thanks to the OP for pointing this out!

    It's only a game

    From experience with the meal deals you do not have to buy them all.

    You buy things individually and they add up to £8 in this case.

    More often than not you go in to buy part of the deal and it has all gone as with the chicken breast in previous deals.
  • Thanks for the replies - I'll give it a go tomorrow.

    But that wouldn't matter with the Morrisons style deal - you could still buy the other bits for the cheap prices, whereas other retailers makle you buy the whole package, which sometimes/often includes something you wouldn't want (e.g dieters might not want the pudding) - Mr M doesn't make you take that bit to get the good deal. :confused:
