Tesco's meal deal glitch!

First till error I've ever noticed as a glitch and quite by mistake so here goes and I hope it makes sense! :p

Tescos have a finest meal deal, main, side dish, desert and wine for £9.
I accidently picked up 2 main dishes, 1 side, 1 dessert and a wine and it when the discount showed at the end it was the side dish I was charged full price for, so I had 2 mains included in the deal.

So 1 Red Pepper Lasagne, 1 Chicken with Asparagus, 1 Oven Baked Potatoes and 1 Rawnsley Estate Chardonnay, total £23.48, paid £11. Might go back and see if I can get 2 lasagnes, dessert and wine as they are £5 each.

No idea if it works on other items in the deal? :D
Too many children, too little time!!!
:p

    Lol! Wouldnt that be great!!!!!!!!:)

    This sems to only work when substituting a side for a main. Tried it on tesco.com. If you are on the new tesco site you can try this online as the new site shows the price after discounts have been applied.

    Did try wIth 2 bottles wine but no luck i'm afraid!!!!!!!!!!:( :rotfl:

    Do you have to purchase the side dish? Or does it just work with 2 mains?

    Confused !!!!! If the offer is meal for £9, why is everybody so happy to pay £11 when they appear to be swapping a start/desert for a main??????
