Shoppers have branded a Tesco deal as “insane” after learning they could get a Costa Coffee, Krispy Kreme doughnut and a main for less than £4.
The popular sweet treat normally costs £1.99 for a plain glazed version but you can pick it up along with the other items as part of the meal deal.
Posting on TikTok ellieannahawkes said: “Is this a new thing? Why have I not known about this?” And others were quick to ask the same having clearly missed the deal.
Nancy said: “So ur telling me I can get a MAIN, a Krispy Kreme donut and a costa for £3.50? Lets not make other people aware of this….”
Rytis said: “The costa + main + bakery item was already so good now KRISPY KREME??? that’s insane. Like thank u Tesco.”
Waffle said: “so you can have a sweet breakfast + some crisps or fruit whatever and a coffee for £3.60.” Jules added: “Tesco meal deal tomorrow??”
Others were less impressed: Holly said: “This is a side but a pot of strawberry and kiwi is a main” followed by a sobbing emoji.
And Yas said: “Now we’re gonna have a donut epidemic like the cinnamon rolls.”
Another TikToker had less success with her trip to get one of the sought after doughnuts. Angelian.pj posted a video showing her taking a seven kilometre walk to her “local Tesco” after hearing about the deal.
Sadly when she got there she could not see a sign telling her the item was part of the meal deal. And when she asked staff she was told it wasn’t.
However Tesco has now confirmed both Costa Coffee and a plain Krispy Kreme are included in both the basic and premium offers.
A spokesman said: “A single Glazed Original Krispy Kreme counts as a ‘Snack’ item in both the regular meal deal (£4/£3.60 with a Clubcard) and the Premium meal deal (£5.50/£5 with a Clubcard).
Outside of the Meal Deal offer, one of the doughnuts costs £1.99.
