An American visited Tesco for the first time, and one thing left her totally floored. Tals has been documenting her travels and the British supermarket took her by surprise for one main reason
An American visited Tesco for the first time, and she was left surprised by the popular British supermarket and how it differs to shops in the US. Tals documents her travel journeys online, and she recently headed to Tesco to experience what it’s like to pick up essential items at the supermarket.
The content creator, who’s known as travellingwithtals on TikTok, said it quickly became her “favourite place” after visiting as she was blown away by a few things. She was left in “awe” of the supermarket, and quickly started to ask questions about how things worked at the popular store.
One thing she was particularly interested in was meal deals. After being told how the deal works by a member of staff, she admitted she was left spoilt for choice at what to pick – it seems as though she fell in love with meal deals just has quickly as Brits did though they have recently been shaken up.
In the clip, Tals said: “This is insane. How does this not exist in the United States? I’m literally in awe. I would eat this every single day.
“You can get a protein shake as part of the meal deal. Is this only in London? Is this in England? Where is this? Because this is crazy.
“Don’t judge me – I literally got some sort of dunk thing. I was too overwhelmed – I just picked the first thing I saw. How did I not find out about Tesco meal deals until today?”

She admitted she felt like she “stepped into another world” after making the foodie discovery. As well as being “so cheap”, she thought it was amazing that there was so much to choose from too.
At the time she visited, the meal only set her back £4.00, which she thought was pretty great. While she admitted the sushi she picked up was “nothing special”, she said it tasted fine and was actually “much better” than US supermarket offerings.
Tals was so impressed by the idea of the humble meal deal that it actually caused her to “fall in love” with Tesco. Sometimes it’s the littlest things that really do please people.
The video has been viewed over 4,000 times since it was shared, and people were quick to comment too. They offered all sorts of different ideas.
One said: “That’s a little Tesco. Wait until you see a big Tesco.” Another added: “You need to get a Clubcard and it will be cheaper.”
A third replied: “I love it when Americans discover stuff.” A fourth commented: “Tesco meal deal is a British staple.”
Someone else also chimed in with: “Not only Tesco do meal deals, and this is UK-wide, not just London. Love a meal deal.”
Tals is one of many Americans who document their travels online and report their findings. She left a few people chuckling with her tale about Tesco.
