POUNDLAND is set to launch a brand new meal deal that is cheaper than Tesco’s and Sainsbury’s – even with their loyalty cards.
The bargain retailer is bringing in a meal deal with a main, drink and side for just £3 within weeks and there are over 400 items to choose from in the range.

Tesco‘s meal deal was well-known for being £3 for years but it is now £3.90, or £3.40 for those with a Clubcard.
This currently makes it the cheapest option among major supermarkets, but Poundland‘s deal will pip it by 40p.
For mains, shoppers can pick between sandwiches, wraps, salads, sushi and rolls.
Options include ham and cheese, chicken and bacon and tuna salad sandwiches as well as chicken tikka wraps and pasta salads.
Sides include pastries, chocolate, crisps, fruit and meat trays, while there are around 200 drinks to choose from.
Poundland’s managing director Austin Cooke told The Sun: “This meal deal is the best value in the land.
“There is no one that can touch on our value here. We’re 20% cheaper than the next competitor, and that is with a loyalty card.”
Poundland’s sandwiches come from the same manufacturer as M&S.
But for the £3 price tag, Poundland’s meal deal saves customers a significant amount of money.
For example, if you were to buy the chicken and bacon pasta salad (£2), a steak slice (£1.25) on the side and a large Redbull (£1.75) in Poundland’s meal deal, you’d save £2 compared with buying each item separately.
The £3 meal deal and new product range will be hitting all 850 Poundland stores in the coming weeks.
Here’s how Poundland’s meal deal compare to other retailers:
- Asda Express – £3.75
- Boots – £3.60-£4.99
- Co-Op – £3.50 (loyalty price) or £4 for core and £5 (loyalty price) or £5.50 for premium
- M&S – £6
- Morrisons – £3.50 (loyalty price) or £4 for core and £5 (loyalty price) or £5.50 for premium
- Sainsbury’s – £3.50 for core or £5 for premium
- Tesco – £3.40 (Clubcard) or £3.90 for core and £5 (Clubcard) or £5.50
- Waitrose – £5
- WHSmiths – £5.50
A HISTORY OF POUNDLAND
POUNDLAND was founded in December 1990 by Dave Dodd and Steven Smith.
The first store opened in the Octagon Centre in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire.
The pair stocked 624 products and took £13,000 on the first day.
The concept was simple yet innovative – all items in the store were priced at £1, capitalizing on the popularity of fixed-price retailing.
The early success of the first store led to rapid expansion throughout the 1990s.
By 2000, Poundland had established itself as a major player in the discount retail market and in 2002, the private equity firm Advent International acquired the business for £50 million.
In 2010, Poundland ventured into the Republic of Ireland, opening stores under the Dealz brand, which operated on the same fixed-price model but priced items at €1.50.
Poundland then went public in March 2014, listing on the London Stock Exchange.
In 2016, Poundland was acquired by Steinhoff International, a South African retail holding company, for £610 million. This acquisition brought Poundland under the umbrella of a global retail conglomerate called Pepco Group.
Responding to market pressures and the need for greater flexibility, Poundland began to introduce items priced at more than £1 in 2017.
In 2019, Poundland announced plans to revamp its stores and broaden its product range.
This included rolling out new categories such as chilled and frozen food and investing in store refurbishments to improve the shopping experience.
In March 2022 Poundland acquired Poundshop.com which later became Poundland.co.uk giving customers the ability to shop online for the first time.
Today, Poundland has a network of over 850 stores in the UK and under the Dealz brand in the Republic of Ireland.

HOW TO BAG A BARGAIN
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
Do you have a money problem that needs sorting? Get in touch by emailing [email protected].
