The contents of Katie’s wrap didn’t look very festiveThe supermarket refunded her for the £2.50 snack, which she said was made up of just two tiny pieces of turkey and a few spinach leaves.
Katie, 33, from Sudbury, Suffolk, left a sarcastic remark on Tesco’s Facebook page, saying: “Definitely don’t need dinner tonight, completely full now.”

- Asda wraps were a little stingy, except for its great-value Bacon & Chicken Caesar
- Morrisons gives less veggie or duck filling for your buck than spicy or Caesar chicken
