    You forgot your wine.You already said that, i didnt read it properly, just go in tommorrow and ask them for your bottle of wine that you are entitled to, take your receipt to prove you didnt get one.

    The normal meal deal is 1 main, 1 side, 1 dessert and 1 wine.
    This glitch is allowing 2 mains, 1 desert and 1 wine.

    These mains do actually serve 2 people unlike some of the M&S dine in offers where i could eat 2 people portions and still have more. When we got an M&S deal the other week i was still starving after eating it as there was hardly anything to it.

    tesco definayely wins the meals deals wars for me, even the £5 meal deal, the chicken and baon pasta is delicious.


    We just had our steak pies for tea, my eyes were bigger than my belly and i asked for 2 pies cos i was starving, i didnt manage to eat my second i was too full and would have exploded, was a scrummy pie though, loads of meat and gravy this time and the pastry wasnt dry at all this time, luckilly my DD polished of my pie after eating her kiev and she's only 2 so i dont know where she puts it all.

    Yes they are, so are the kievs. I can also highly reccomend the potato and bacon side dish and ALL the desserts, they really need to bring the profiterole tower back.

    am guessing the best way to test is to try it on the self scan machines prior to buying?

    Am off now report back in an hour

    MSE'ers who can't get this to work, please can you post what you bought?
    It might be the items you bought rather than it's just not working in your store IYSWIM?

    Yup..... I tried to buy:
    2x Kievs
    1x Millionaire Choc desert
    1x the red £9.99 bottle

    BTW - I put the same items in my basket online and they worked, just not in store.
