Tesco has launched a brand-new 'premium' meal deal, and there's apparently four million fancy food combinations to try out.
We all know meal deals are a classic lunch option for hungry office workers and people looking for something quick to grab on the go, and it's fair to say that Tesco's is one of the most popular on the market - and now, it looks like the supermarket retailer wants to keep it that way with its newest 'premium' offering.
It probably won't be that well received by the upset shoppers who called it the "final straw" when the retailer hiked the price of its standard meal deal up to £3.90 for those without a Clubcard late last year, but for those who like lots of choice when it comes to lunch, the possibilities are - quite literally - endless.
The new 'Premium Meal Deal' will feature alongside the original meal deal in all Tesco supermarkets.
Setting Clubcard holders back £5 per head, or £5.50 for those without, shoppers will be able to pick a main from well-known brands such as itsu, YO! Sushi, and Pollen & Grace, as well as a wide range of Tesco Finest and Wicked Kitchen mains, as part of the new Premium Meal Deal.

There's a total of 33 different main choices and 10 brand new Tesco Finest and Wicked products included in the deal.
Not only can hungry shoppers choose from more mains than ever before, but they can also choose from any of the regular snacks and drinks that you usually enjoy with a regular Tesco meal deal - including favourite brands such as Walkers, Propercorn, Graze, Cadbury, Oasis and Coca Cola.
Tesco claims there's over four million meal combinations as part of the new deal.
Clubcard holders will also make a saving of around £3.74 when buying the Premium Meal Deal, compared to if they bought the items separately, according to Tesco.
The 'Premium Meal Deal' is now available in 1,200 Tesco stores nationwide.

Leeds United to pay tribute to fan who tragically died after medical emergency at match
Leeds United have issued a statement regarding their tribute to a fan who has sadly passed away.
Colin Westby was watching the game against Manchester United at Elland Road on Sunday 18 October when suddenly he became ill and was taken to hospital.
The 68-year-old was then placed into a medically induced coma but after a period of 'unresponsiveness', the difficult decision was made to stop life support.
Colin was a huge Leeds United fan, and attended matches for over 50 years as a Season Ticket Holder of the club.
Leeds United have issued a statement showing their support, and have confirmed they will be holding a tribute to Colin.
The statement posted on Leeds United's social media is as follows: "Leeds United are heartbroken to learn of the passing of supporter Colin Westby at the age of 68.
"Colin suffered a medical emergency ahead of our Premier League fixture with Manchester United on Sunday 18 October at Elland Road.
"After being transferred to hospital, he was placed into a medically induced coma and sadly following a period of unresponsiveness, the decision was made to withdraw life support.
"Colin was a long-standing Season Ticket Holder at the club, attending matches for over 50 years. The thoughts of everyone at Leeds United are with Colin’s family and friends at this sad time.
"We will pay tribute to Colin in the 68th minute of our next Premier League fixture with Tottenham Hotspur, on Saturday 7 November."
Of course, in true Leeds United fashion, fellow flans flocked to the comments to pay their respects to Colin and express their support for his family.
Classic FM will be playing calming music for anxious pets this Bonfire Night

Classic FM will be back playing calming music for anxious pets during this year’s fireworks season.
Bonfire Night may be loved by us humans for the spectacular firework displays and all the festive-themed activities that come along with it… but sadly, the November holiday isn’t quite so fun for our four-legged friends.
Loud bangs, flashing lights, and unpleasant strong smell of spent explosives are just some of the reasons why fireworks are frightening to pets.
Not only that, but with multiple bangs occurring from numerous displays across this time of year, pets are rarely able to pinpoint when and where the booming explosions are coming from, therefore creating even more anxiety around this time of year.

Which is why, for the ninth year running now, Classic FM is once again teaming up with the RSPCA for two Pet Classics programmes packed with ‘the most soothing and comforting classical music’.
The music has been handpicked to help calm and settle any anxious pets.
A survey by the RSPCA revealed that almost two-thirds (63%) of animal owners reported their pet was distressed during fireworks season, and that playing relaxing music was the most common way (36%) to help calm or prepare their animal.
Presenters Dan Walker, Aled Jones, and Dawn O’Porter will each host a night of the specially created programme to help keep the nation’s pets calm through the whizzes and bangs.
Dan will present the first programme on Bonfire Night itself (Thursday 5 November), and then as celebrations continue throughout the weekend, Aled will be on hand to bring some peace to Friday 6 November, and Dawn picks up the baton on Saturday 7 November.
All three Pet Classics programmes will be broadcast from 5pm to 10pm, and you can listen on Classic FM or Global Player available across the UK.
