On the face of it you might think the £10 offers look the best, but I reckon the £20 offers look better value.

Co-op and Morrisons are doing a main, side, desert and wine for theirs-so no starter. Asda give you an extra side but no wine.

Tesco is more at £15 but is the same line up as co-op and Mr M with a main, side and desert plus wine (or soft drink or chocs) so seems pricy compared to the first 2 .

The £20 deals are starter, main, side and desert, plus a wine AND a box of chocs. Both of them have nice selections of wine (including something fizzy if that floats your boat), and both offer an alternative if you don't drink-marks a soft drink Mr W a scented candle.

I suppose when you weigh it up they are simular prices overall-if you added a starter,wine and chocs to the cheaper ones they will likely over £20 anyway, but I reckon marks and Waitrose will be better quality food. So I guess its weigh up the meals and decide what you fancy.

Looks not too good compared to the others as its just a main meal, desert and wine, so no sides or starter.

Just finished the Marks offering:

Scotch Egg...very nice

Rump steak with pepper sauce
Tomato and Mozzarella

Strawberry & Champagne Souffl!s...Delish


Prestige Rosado Cava...very passable

Choc's...I'm on a diet!!

The rumps are £9.99 and the wine £8.99 so I'm more than happy with the value.

HTH someone.

Can only compare the M&S and Waitrose - had a good look at both this morning but haven't bought anything yet.

The M&S looks far the better deal of the two - the coquille st jacques as a starter is phenomenal and there are some seriously pricey mains (sirloin steak, rump steak, loin of lamb). The Waitrose main courses were a bit dull by comparison and the top price of them was £6.99, compared to £8 - £9 for the M&S sirloin.

You do know that the prices of the individual items in these deals is a fantasy price, designed to make the overall offering look 'better value'?

I would go for the one that has the items in that I liked best, or that what you got looked best value, without worrying that someone is saying that the main is 'worth' 6.99 or £9, which it often isn't (my local farm shop sells very good rump or sirloin steak (outdoor reared, grass fed, properly hung) for £10-12/kilo. I doubt very much that the per kilo price for the M+S steak is anywhere near this price.

Yes, of course in the end one buys the items one prefers to eat; unfortunately living in London I don't have too many farm shops nearby and my nearest butcher (which I often use) certainly charges a tad more than £12 per kilo for sirloin steak.

If we all went down the 'is it worth it' route, probably would end up buying pretty much nothing but the bare necessities.
