The meal deal isn't a scam. Just don't pack your own lunch. The meal deal is way more convenient even though you were already probably at home at some point in the near past and ultimately spend as much time getting the meal deal if not more than packing your own lunch in the first place it's definitely more convenient from a laziness forward thinking delayed gratification perspective. If you don't want to think or you're on the brink then the meal deal is your best option. I think I just came up with the new slogan. Live in the moment, the future isn't in your control, buy a meal deal. It won't work on Chinese people though, don't try to market that psychology there trust me. Trust me.

Exactly - just because it's discounted doesn't mean it's a loss leader, it just means a smaller profit margin than if the items were purchased individually. Making it a deal also could mean people are spending more money by thinking 'yes I'll pay X more money to have a snack and a drink that I otherwise wouldn't have purchased'
@@CeroAshuraThat's stupid. It's none of the government's business how much people charge for their stuff. The second-hand goods market would vanish overnight if it was illegal to sell stuff for less than you bought it for. Imagine used cars costing the same as new ones. Imagine used books costing the same as new ones. Not many people would buy them, though some would due to the environment benefit. Plus, it could be argued that even selling the car for more than it was new would be considered selling it as a loss because the extra money is not enough to offset all the maintenance, fuel and storage costs over the course of its ownership, and those costs should be factored in because they were required to bring the car into its current condition. Say you paid $50000 for a car. You spend $10000 on maintenance, fuel and parking in total over the course of your ownership of the car. These costs were required to bring the car into its current condition. As a result, it would be illegal to sell the car for less than $60000 because that would be considered a loss. No-one would buy it for $60000 because they can just buy a new car for $50000, and it would be in better condition. (The $10000 in expenses caused your car to change, not improve.) Plus, supermarkets would not be able to sell stuff that's nearing expiration, because everyone would rather buy stuff which lasts longer, and it's illegal to sell them for less than they were bought for. So, instead of losing a little bit of money selling stuff which is nearing expiration at a loss, they end up not selling it before it expires, and then they have to throw it out and lose all the money they spent buying it. In short, let people choose what price to sell their stuff at.
And to prepare the meal beforehand! Instead of buying an expensive sandwich at a store, make an extra one or two at home when you're making breakfast and pack them
@@nichtmenschlich6133make extra and then eat 2 instead of 1. Also even if we remove the cost of labour involved. How much will pure ingredients cost for a sandwich?
Don't whoosh me but his point is that the "scam" is the supermarket acquiring your lifetime loyalty by worming it's way into your habitual life by providing a deal they intend you to use everyday (every working day) for the rest of your life. He opts out of the tempting deal by purposely depriving himself of the short term savings so that he has no reason to spend the rest of his life's lunches at tesco
I visited UK and meal deals are great for tourists! Great price and I never become a life time customer but will do it every time I go back to visit. :)
in the west breakfast and dinner are the more important meals, in the industrial revolution, sandwiches with cold cuts became popular for quick lunches enough to get you through the afternoon until you got home and ate
Small correction: Boots introduced the meal deal in *1985* not *1895.* The ready made sandwich wasn’t a popular item until the 1980s (M&S introduced them in 1980).
Was looking for this comment also I don't get crisps as a snack option I tend to go for the satay sticks or some Tesco even do them gingster steak pasties in the snack option
Usually get the salmon and cream cheese, the large redbull and whatever’s the most expensive protein bar. I always knew they were making a loss on me but thought if you got cheap stuff they’d profit.
Here is how you beat the system: 1. Go to any big supermarket preferably Lidl/Aldi. Purchase a loaf of bread, 2 cases of sandwich filler or whatever thing you like. 2. Go Lidl or Aldi and spend £1 on a 6 bag pack of crisp. Pick your flavour 3. While still in Lidl or Aldi for 1 pound you can buy a 6 pack of fizzy drink Altogether this will cost you around £5. You’ve just brought lunch for the week. This guy is not saving you money as his way will cost you £10 + for the week. You’re welcome.
I remember when the people i worked with looked at me stunned because instead of a meal deal i bought ...a king pot noodle , a multipack bag of mccoys crisps and a 2ltre fanta , all for less than the price of their meal deal 😂
If you want to beat the system buy a tin of soup and a tin of lentils for £1.74 and have something warm, healthy and pretty much half the price of a meal deal.
Ever since i found out about meal deals i have been upset that they are not offered in my country, cause i often get sandwich drink and a snack already
Please look at how much they sell a loaf of sliced bread for before saying they're making a loss on the meal deal . Theres no way the sandwiches are too expensive. It just feels like a good idea because it says "deal" in the name and it rymes. Side note I dont understand hoe coke can sell 2Litre bottles for so cheap compared to their cans or 500ml bottles. In short the meal deal is a rip off because people arent there for grocery shopping just a cheap meal so as long as they undercut the restaurants/take outs nearby the supermarkets can charge a little *more* than normal not *less*.
1: It is not a loss leader. They make a profit. 2. They are not 'artificially inflating' prices, that is an economic term that has absolutely no relevance here. They have higher prices for club card and non clubcard but price fixing overall is illegal. 3. Lunch is already part of the daily routine and does not need to become part. Although people may be brand loyal to Tesco (45% of their shoppers according to statistica) when it comes to a meal deals most are likely to shop from the nearest and most convenient.
