This is a quick overview of some of the best quality meat available, at good or very good prices,
i havent posted the cheapest deals on some things, for example, chicken and pork. the main reason being the taste and quality. the prices of what ive posted are very good for the quality in comparison to what may be the cheapest.

Good effort

ive just bought a meat slicer, so currently going through a crazy 'buy loads of meat phase' anyway, in trying to find some good meat at reasonable prices, just thought i'd share

Cold from me Veggie......

Damn, I should have remembered the price for you. LIDLs are doing XXL beef roasting joints and I think they were £4 per kilo. Don't quote me on exact price. I was 50/50 on whether to get one for sunday but decided to go for a leg of lamb from asda/tesco.

Someone else might be able to confirm the price for you

If you are going to do this, you need to be fair, and include Aldi (all british meat) and probably co-op too.

Also, this reads like personal preference, not objectivity.

Not colded, - I'll treat it as a prototype

20th Mar 2013

great effort : your faith in the supermarkets might be misplaced mind lol

GOOD JOB WELL DONE

20th Mar 2013

Not really deals though, just the prices supermarkets are charging. I suggest trying the local butcher's instead to compare prices and quality.

Agree with u that people should try butchers more, perhaps u can compare these prices with all the butchers in the country

There, done it for you

Good effort, thanks. Personally I don't buy meat from the supermarkets anymore. I agree with the comments about local butchers (if you're lucky to live near to one). The meat is better, it's from better sources and it's usually cheaper. To quote the tag line from one of the large supermarkets, you can 'Taste the Difference'.

Perhaps you should consider cutting down...?

Just made a special trip to Aldi for their offer - waste of time - not even an empty shelf - ripped off!

On my way to Asda...

Many thanks OP!

GOOD JOB WELL DONE

echo that

21st Mar 2013

I much prefer chicken breasts with added water, as they are succulent, whereas non-added water ones are difficult to not taste quite dry, even if cooked "properly". Added water isn't the devil. I agree with another poster that this "deal" is about personal preference" with the OP missing out stuff that he deems inferior.

no problem with added water, but the price/weight isnt a very honest reflection of what youre buying for the price. Buy a needle and inject your own water, or just cook it properly and it wont be dry anymore.

How do you know if someone's a vegetarian? They'll tell you.

Seriously though. This person put a LOT of effort and time into writing this post, and you vote it cold because of your own personal prejudices?

Should I slander all fruit and veg, or vegetarian/vegan offers because I eat meat?

Think before you belittle valuable information next time because of your superiority complex.

haha sounding a bit bitter there. I've been cooking a long time, my son will only eat the breast of the chicken, I do know how to cook. But I take your point about the weight. Buying a needle and injecting my own water.... not really that simple.

aldi fresh lamb leg was advertised at £4.99, which i suspect was their original price before they knew asda and tesco were cheaper, not too sure whether or not it is actually £3.99 instore or not, perhaps someone can confirm.

wow, i respond to your comment and you call me bitter lol, was hardly that, anyway, youre not the only person thats been cooking a long time, injecting water into meat really IS that simple.You obviously never read the post description, or youre just one of these oddballs who has to find fault in everything,
anyway....
