Tesco meal deal glitch - make a profit!

Just been to Tesco Mayflower (Basildon) and got the following meal deal, but it didn't register it as a meal deal so didn't reduce it to £10, may work elsewhere.

Meatballs with paprika potatoes £5.75
Garlic Mushrooms £2.50
Sponge Pudding clotted cream £3.00
Reserva Isla Negra Chardonnay £8.99

Total £20.24
Difference = £10.24
DTD= £20.48

So they pay you 24p plus you get a free dinner
If you dont like the answer why ask the question:D

    Looks like your shelf stackers have given you an easy DTD, send the wife back for double dip before they realise?
