Shoppers adding naan to a weekly delivery
If naan is one part of a planned basket, Tesco and Sainsbury's plain 260g two-packs provide an everyday unit-price comparison without relying on a promotion.
Who is this for?
Smaller households
Compare the number of breads with the meals you have planned. A pack with a lower price per kilogram is less useful if some of it will go uneaten; check the exact pack's storage directions if you intend to freeze it.
Shoppers placing a small delivery order
Check the basket as well as the naan. Tesco states a £5 charge for delivery baskets below £50, while Asda states an extra £4 charge for delivery orders below £40.
What should you compare?
Start with the amount of naan you will use, then compare like-for-like unit prices and the cost of the delivery basket.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Unit price | Compare the displayed £/kg alongside pack weight and bread count. Tesco lists plain 260g two-packs at £2.65/kg and 188g mini four-packs at £5.32/kg. | I want to compare the amount I will actually use, not just the pack price. |
| Delivery basket | Check the item total and fulfilment choice before checkout. Tesco states a £5 charge below £50 for delivery; Asda states an extra £4 below £40 for delivery. | If I am ordering little else, a small-basket charge could matter more than the naan I choose. |
| Portions and storage | Check servings, the date mark and the exact pack's freezing and post-opening directions. Ocado lists M&S Plain Naans as freezable but says not to refreeze them after thawing. | A smaller pack may fit one meal; for a shared meal, I can consider a larger pack if I will use or store it as directed. |
| Ingredients | Read the exact listing's ingredients and allergen information, then check the delivered pack. Recheck any proposed substitution. | I need to know whether the particular naan delivered suits my dietary requirements. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Comparing only the pack price
A smaller pack can look inexpensive without offering the lowest cost for its weight. Tesco's listed plain two-pack is £2.65/kg, against £5.32/kg for its mini four-pack; the larger breads may still leave unwanted portions.
Compare £/kg, bread count and the amount your meal requires.
-
Overlooking a small delivery basket
A charge at checkout changes the cost of an order containing a low-priced pack of naan.
Check the retailer's threshold against your planned basket, and compare collection if it works for your location.
Tesco states a £5 minimum-basket charge below £50 for delivery; Asda states an extra £4 below £40 for delivery.
-
Assuming all packs store alike
Storage directions differ. Ocado's M&S Plain Naans listing says to eat them within one day of opening and not to refreeze them after thawing.
Follow the date mark and opening, freezing and thawing instructions on the pack you receive.
-
Relying on a category page for allergen details
Ingredients and allergen information apply to the exact product, not every naan in a retailer's range. A substitution may also be a different product.
Check the selected listing and delivered label, and assess any substitution separately.
Retailers and brands to consider

Sainsbury's lists plain, mini and flavoured naan in its grocery range.
- Its listed plain 260g two-pack is £0.69 (£2.65/kg).
- Its listed mini plain four-pack is £6.12/kg, so compare formats rather than assuming the same unit cost across the range.

Frequently asked questions
Is the cheapest naan pack always the right choice?
No. Compare the price per kilogram and the amount you will use. Tesco lists its 260g plain two-pack at £0.69 (£2.65/kg) and its 188g mini four-pack at £1.00 (£5.32/kg); smaller individual breads may still fit a particular meal better.
Can a small delivery basket change the overall cost?
Yes. Tesco states a £5 minimum-basket charge for delivery orders below £50, and Asda states an extra £4 charge for delivery orders below £40. Check the applicable item total and fulfilment choice at checkout rather than judging the order by the naan's shelf price.
Can I freeze naan from an online grocery order?
Follow the directions for the exact pack delivered. Ocado's M&S Plain Naans listing says they are suitable for home freezing, should be frozen by the date mark and should not be refrozen after thawing; another product may carry different instructions.
How do I check allergens if a naan is substituted?
Assess the substitute as a separate product: check its listing and the label on the delivered pack. The M&S Plain Naans listing identifies wheat, but that does not establish the ingredients or allergen information of another naan.
Can M&S naan be included in a grocery delivery?
M&S directs customers to Ocado for M&S Food delivery, and Ocado lists M&S naan products. Check the options for your delivery postcode, your chosen slot and the basket conditions before ordering.
