    shouldn't you have 4 main meals with this?

    And side dishes?

    Yes, but there only seem to be 1 main with each 'deal' - where are the mains that were swapped?

    Who is to say it is a glitch and not a way of getting extra people to buy the stuff.

    I know at our local store they took the signs down and then put them back up later the same day. There also seems to be more mains out than side orders at the moment.

    Maybe Tesco are not that stupid after all.

    If they were that organised, they'd have promoted it as such I think.

    Why advertise it when it is all over the web for free. As others have said Tesco know about it but have left it running. With the tomatoes the other week they pulled that very quickly so I presume someone somewhere has decided to let this one stay on.

    Just tried this in Tesco in Bicester - did NOT work.
    I bought:
    2 x Steak Diane
    1 x Strawberry Cheesecakes
    1 x Pinot Grigio

    No discounts at all. Nice try though.

    You already get a huge discount on the meal deal for £9 so if it's encouraging more people to buy it I can see why losing another couple of quid wouldn't bother Mr T
