Asda launches new meal deals and they cost half the price of Tesco's

Asda has launched a new meal deal and the new set up could mean you pay a lot less.

While most chains set a fixed price of about £3 for your sandwich, snack and drink, Asda has changed the rules - offering people the cheapest of the three free instead.

It means you can pay as little as £1.60 for lunches, but only if you choose the right items.

It's also more flexible, as you can pick up two any three items from the range and get the cheapest free - be it an extra sandwich free or the cheapest of three snacks.

All 300 items Asda's Food to Go range are included in the deal so customers can mix and match items.

Going for a ham or a cheese and onion sandwich (£1), a bottle of mineral water (38p) and a pack of Walkers Baked crisps (60p) saves you the least at just 38p, but also works out cheapest at £1.60.

But other combinations can work out more expensive than a Tesco or Sainsbury's meal deal.

A prawn mayo sandwich (£2), a can of Red Bull (£1.69) and a bag of McCoy's crisps (80p) will mean you pay £3.69, for example

The deal is available in stores and online although just 24 items are available on the website.

There's also a minimum spend of £40 for delivery orders and £25 for click and collects orders -  it costs £3 to book a slot - but if you're ordering anyway it could work out rather nicely for sorting out work lunches for a week.
