Tesco’s meal deal just got a little heartier with the introduction of a warming new snack option, perfect for those chilly days when crisps or fruit won’t hit the spot.
Nathan Lorenzo, a 27-year-old Tesco employee – and actor – took to TikTok to announce an exciting update to the Tesco meal deal which offers a main, a snack, and a drink at £3.60 for Clubcard holders or £4 for non-members.
In his video, which has garnered 543,000 views and counting, Nathan exclaimed: “I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Tesco are now doing – wait for it – soup in the meal deal. And I think this is absolute genius from Tesco because it’s absolutely freezing in the UK right now. And what do you do when you’re cold? You have soup, or something hot!”.
Nathan chose a Covent Garden tomato soup, which surprisingly counts as a snack in the deal. “As a snack! It’s not even as the main, as a snack,” he pointed out.
Tesco’s website confirms that customers can choose between Covent Garden’s Classic Chicken Soup or the Creamy Tomato Soup that Nathan chose.
Pleased-as-punch Nathan presented his meal deal choice, which included a honey ham and Emmental cheese sandwich and a lemon-flavoured Fanta. He rounded up his review by saying: “So that’s my meal deal for the day! I would give this, I would say, quite comfortably, a solid nine out of 10, because you’ve got the little summer bits, your winter bits and then you’ve got a limited-edition sandwich.”
Nathan’s no stranger to a bit of Tesco content on his TikTok page, with almost all of his vids showing him wearing his employee uniform. His 217,000 viewers can’t get enough.
“I hope you’re getting paid for this because I have been INFLUENCED,” commented an inspired fan. Meanwhile, another added: “The fact the soup counts as a snack is impeccable work.”
