I tried Sainsbury’s new double cheeseburger meal deal and was stunned by its value for money

After heading into Sainsbury's in search of a meal deal and quickly scanning the monotonous array of cold sandwiches and wraps on the chilled shelves, I decided to take a chance and see what was available on the hot counter.

The usual chicken goujons, pizza slices, and hot pasties that scorch your mouth were all sitting there, looking depressed. Next to them- as if delivered by the food Gods themselves- sat one double cheeseburger, just begging to be picked up.

I quickly grabbed it- along with a bottle of water and a bag of crisps, and headed to the checkout, paying a suspiciously reasonable price of £3.75 for the whole shebang. By the time I’d got back to the office, the burger was at the perfect temperature. After squirting a couple sachets of ketchup inside the bun, I dug straight in.

The patties were surprisingly tasty and well seasoned, and despite sitting on a hot counter, they were moist and juicy. The cheese was a little rubbery but tasted nice, and the buns were soft and fluffy.

I thoroughly enjoyed the burger, and for £3.75 with a drink and snack, I would say that the combination is ridiculously good value. I would thoroughly recommend it to all burger enthusiasts, or to anyone who is looking for a cheap, easy and filling meal at lunchtime.
