Just bought 2 x meal deals and 4 extra bottles of wine, all at £4.99 each...... total came to approx £32.00!! Absolute bargain, so glad I went for this deal. Wasn't good walking back to work with all that wine in one bag though....

i am prob being dumb - if i wanted 1 dine in meal and an additional 5 bottles of wine with 25%, would it be a good price?

Nice to have it confirmed that the wine discount also comes of the wines in the meal deal as we thought. So you double save as long as you have 6 bottles at the end.

Of course the best deal is to get six dine ins (as long as you have the freezer space). With a £4.99 bottle of wine, six dine ins will cost you approx £53 :T

The discount comes of at the end, so a £4.99 bottle will cost you £3.74 each.

Normal price
5 x £4.99 bottle = £24.95
1 X dine in =£10

Total =£34.95

With discount
5 x £3.74 bottle = £18.70
1 x dine in = £8.75

Total £27.45 (save £7.50)

I know, I was thinking that but I don't have the fridge/freezer space, but also... six desserts all at home at the same time.... I wouldn't be able to resist having them all this BH w/e

Still, I feel v smug about the bargain I've gained today.

The 25% off 6 bottles or more of wine will work on the wine in your meal deal. So instead of the meal deal being £10, it will now come to £8.75 (the wine comes up as £4.99 - 25% = £3.75, saving £1.25 off the total meal deal price).

So each meal deal will cost £8.75 as long as you have a total of 6 six bottles of wine (with 25% off the wine) in your trolley.

Thanks for this - I wasn't sure what would be in the offer, and I don't usually eat ready meals, it's way too expensive with a family of five to feed (and takes almost as long to heat them up in the microwave as it does to cook something!), but I thought I'd have a look anyway, and I've come away with three whole chickens :T, as well as two ice creams and an apple pie, which looked like they'd go furthest !

The Bianco delle Venezie wine is £4.79, so if you're not bothered about which you have, you can save a few more pennies on that. I spent £37.04 and got three meals deals, with 3 bottles of the Bianco delle Venezie and 3 of Cobborah Chardonnay (@£4.99) - although they probably included the cheapest three in the meal deal of course!
