Is the Tesco £12 Finest meal deal good value?

As we mentioned when the price initially changed, Tesco’s Finest meal deal for two still works out cheaper than buying the items separately despite the higher price (although the amount you'll save has obviously fallen).

For example, if you bought beef lasagne, chunky chips, lemon meringue cheesecake slices and a bottle of wine, it would cost £19.35, so you would save over £7.

What’s in the Tesco Finest £12 meal deal?
