How times have changed, and how quickly. This time last year, who would have imagined that M&S would be driving forward competition in the Irish grocery market?
M&S’s dinner for two offer has really struck a chord with Irish shoppers. It’s a sign of how well the company have responded to the recession that Dunnes have launched their own dinner for two for €10 and Superquinn have started a meal deal for four people at €9.
Belatedly, Tesco have got in on the action. They’ve very wisely chosen to sell Tesco Finest meals rather than Tesco Value. For €11.50 you can pick up a main, side, dessert, and wine or orange juice for two people. The mains selection today included Spinach and Ricotta Filo Parcels, Chicken Chasseuer or Steak Dianne. Sides were chunky chips, cheddar mash, or oven baked potatoes with smoked bacon. Dessert choice was chocolate eclairs or lemon tarts.
They were offering free samples. In fairness, it was quite nice: the Steak Diane was really rich and full of flavour, while even the cheap white wine wasn’t bad. Will you be trying it out?
