The new M&S ransomware.. meal deals?

Help!  I feel I've just been held to ransom(ware) by M&S's pricing on their food items.

Imagine my surprise when I popped into M&S Food next to Guildford station and discovered the cheeky buggers have increased the price of the meal deal - again - by an extra 50p!  Over a week this adds up to an additional £2.50.

2023 = £5.00 –> £5.50 
2024 = £5.50 –> £6.00
2025 = £6.00 --> £6.50

A £1.50 increase doesn't sound too bad over three years, but while they have been increasing the price, they have also severely restricted the choice of items that are part of the meal deal.  Too many times have I failed to spot something is no longer part of the deal and had to go back to put it back.  This is in part due to M&S keep moving everything about, and part due to poor labelling.

I get it - inflation.  National Living Wage also increases cost.  There's also the £300 million dent in profits due to the recent cyberattack (which took M&S an age to resolve - and even now I think it's still affecting deliveries).  But what gets me most is the number of items that are available on the meal deal now.
