I think these would be the same price in both Tesco and Tesco Express. The higher prices in Tesco Express are more likely to be on less-obvious items, and often by carefully limiting range (like only selling middle/high quality pasta, not the budget pasta) rather than adjusting prices. But I'm not sure, I haven't lived there for years.
There are four sandwiches for £1.40 [1], egg and cress or cheese and onion should be slightly less bland. Paying more (£2.50 or so) gives more choices.
Bland food is pretty standard in Britain though, and seems to be what people want. For school, my mum would usually provide me sandwiches mode with
- wholewheat bread
- either cheap ham or cheese or egg or corned beef (not a fan of the latter, this usually meant mine and my dad's lunches were mixed up). Very occasionally more than one of these together.
- usually "brown"[2] or "yellow"[3] pickle, shop-bought or home-made.
- a whole tomato on the side.
I like to refer foreigners to Harry Potter, since they've often read it but don't realize most of the food isn't a joke.
> Ron had taken out a lumpy package and unwrapped it. There were four sandwiches inside. He pulled one of them apart and said, "She always forgets I don't like corned beef."
This sandwich probably contains only corned beef.
> After a meal of turkey sandwiches, crumpets, trifle, and Christmas cake, everyone felt too full and sleepy to do much before bed
Turkey sandwiches are bread and turkey, maybe some cranberry sauce if the house elves are feeling extravagant.
> Hagrid made them tea and offered them stoat sandwiches, which they refused.
Probably just stoat? But I would refuse these too.
