The Co-op has increased its meal deal price, which usually includes a sandwich or wrap, snack and drink.

It’s gone up from £3.75 to £4 for non-members.

But if you’re a members of its loyalty scheme the price has dropped to just £3.50. 

Students can still get 10% off with a valid TOTUM card too, making it even more of a bargain.

To bag a cheap and cheerful lunch, you need to sign-up to Co-op’s free loyalty scheme online.

There is a £1 joining fee, which Co-op states is to cover the cost of having a share in the company as it’s owned by its members. 

Members get benefits including personalised discounts as well as earning 2p back for every £1 spent on Co-op branded products.

Once this has added up you can spend your hard earned pennies in store.
