Mind you, there are a lot of people who wouldn't know what a POUND of meat is, and even I think in Kg now too, despite still being able to convert back to pre-decimal Pounds Shillings & Pence! :whistling:
I am a fishmonger at Morrisons and saw this deal yesterday. Meant to post it last night.
Just to clarify, this offer is HALF PRICE on Silverside, Topside, Topside Rump and Salmon Cut beef joints. These are all primarily the same, but butchers insist there is a difference. Most decent sized joints are now priced about £4.
The offer is on until Sunday, and there is PLENTY stock. We wrapped up over 200 joints today. Tomorrow will be even busier.
Also, they are limited to 2 per customer. And they ARE freezable, so its worth getting a couple for over the christmas period in my opinion.
And yeah, a pound is about 0.46kg
While 4.24/Kg is a good price, £8.48 would be a gross over-pricing, and smacks of the usual meaningless "recommended" or "was" method of pricing most stores get up to! :-(
All the other supermarkets regularly sell Topside & Silverside at about £4.50 to £5 /kg on offers, and not a lot more, say about £7 at their regular pricing.
Worh stocking up on a few then?
Promo does not start until Monday
Will stock up anyway - have some heat

Its not hard to comprehend is it?? £8.48 is the normal price (even at Tesco), and when its half price is £4.24. Whether its overpriced at 8.48 is a different matter, personally I buy whatever meat is on offer :thumbsup: (And as an added bonus you can buy twice as much for the same price - bargain!!)
What's your beef? :p
I now buy all my meat at a local butchers - I may get flamed for this but the quality is sooo much better. I never believed this until I started using a proper butcher.
Heat added.
I too am thinking of going to local butchers - where ever that may be?? but is it really local meat they sell ?

I personally find morrisons to be the best supermarket for meat, far better than asda's which is rank.
And i bet you can't find these price's at your local butcher's.
Just wish halifax's new store would hurry up and open as i'm missing out on some right bargains.

They all do this.. put the price up, to drop it later! Somerfield in particular (before the Coop buyout) constantly cycle the "full" price, then half it.

It is Silverside or Topside, that's the cut, it comes effectively from different sides of the top of the hind leg:

I personally don't rate either that good for roasting, and would always go for fore-rib, or perhaps Sirloin if I was feeling particularly wealthy! The lower fat content and texture of Silverside/Topside makes it tend to be tougher and less juicy, and would be more prone to pot-roast it, but a lot do use it for roasting as they aim for fat-free meat - I would go for a higher fat content, and then remove the fat after cooking instead!
Local butchers can be good, or bad, like any other retailer, it may be local, it may not be, depends where they buy from! There is no guarantee, but looking and asking might help
a TOTAL no-no! :-(
I have a Combo microwave/grill/oven myself, and it is fantastic for may things, but don't touch meat with microwave power, just use the convection oven setting, or if you only have the type with grill, it needs to go in the oven, proper.
Back when I first got a microwave in 1980, (Price was silly!) I went through the trials of cooking EVERYTHING in microwaves, as people did back then, and it RUINS meat, among other things! :x
What a rush on in there, though. Seemed at the checkout that everyone had a couple of joints of beef in their trolley and the staff were being great and letting people swap their joints if they hadn't seen the offer. Now thats good CS.
