More and more meal kits have found their way onto supermarket shelves in recent years as Britons look for more convenient ways to cook fresh foods from home.
The latest offerings to hit stores are the Tesco Finest Sandwich kits, which include single-serving ingredients to build three sandwiches.
The new packs are on sale for £3.75, although they are currently on offer for £3 with a Tesco Clubcard.
Shoppers can choose from three flavour combinations: Salt Beef Brisket and Emmental, Chicken and Bacon Caesar, and Wiltshire Cured Ham & Barber's Mature Cheddar.

The Salt Beef Brisket and Emmental pack contains salt beef brisket, Emmental cheese, sweet gherkin relish and American-style mustard.
The Chicken and Bacon Caesar kit includes British chicken breast slices, beechwood smoked bacon, Italian Parmigiano Reggiano and a Caesar dressing.
And those tempted by Wiltshire Cured Ham & Barber's Mature Cheddar will get apple wood smoked ham, Barber's mature cheddar, red onion chutney and a dijon mustard dressing.
It has been launched as a fresher, customisable alternative to pre-packaged sandwiches, as shoppers can choose their own bread and salad fillings.
FOOD NEWS
Shoppers have already found the new product in stores and have shared mixed reviews. Commenting on an Instagram post by newfoodspotteruk, some customers were confused about the item.
One wrote: "Just buy a loaf of bread and the ingredients. What's the point apart from creating more waste packaging? A product nobody needs."
Another added: "Might as well buy it all separately if you have to make it yourself. The whole idea of the sandwich is for on the move."
One more agreed, writing: "What a waste of money, just buy the ingredients separately."

However, others were excited about the innovation. One highlighted the benefit for those with specific allergies.
They said: "As a coeliac, I like the idea of putting the filling in GF bread." A second penned: "Good idea. Get whatever bread you want to. Anyway, you don't get chicken, veg or cheese in an enchilada kit, do you?"
A third said it "sounds so nice" while one more commented: "I bet this will be nice".
Another shopper said: "It's great for those of us who live alone and want a variety instead of buying individual ingredients and having the same sandwich for several days."
