Blimey, that's a great deal - a roast dinner for the family for £4.
I have to say, I'm loving this so-called credit crunch. The only thing with this deal is that I would never do a roast dinner with frozen roasties, it's gotta be ones done from scratch for me. (I don't mind the yorkshire puddings though, the frozen ones are excellent).

LOL - mint sauce is supposed to go with LAMB!!

I always make gravy using the meat juices too, much tastier that way, usually put a nice big slug of red wine into the mix too.

I must admit, since trying the Tesco finest free range corn-fed chicken a couple of weeks back, I have to say the taste is so much better that you can't compare a battery chook with one of them. The whole texture of the meat is completely different, less watery. But having said that, if you're on a tight budget, the cheapie chooks are definitely the way to go to feed a hungry family.

Did well on the peas today...it pays to be nice! Saw the sign over the frozen peas so picked up a bag, went thru checkout, checked bill, £1.56, went to customer service, and nicely said I thought they were 40p, girl went and checked, came back with 2 small bags, apologised(???) as the sign was bigger than the display area in the freezer, gave me the 2 bags and gave me a refund of £1.16, so I got a bag free(yeah!)
It all helps these days, and the carrots are ok too

mint sauce is the food of the DEVIL!! even with lamb it's vile, unless it's homemade - however, each to his own lol. Horseradish or mustard is essential with beef though. I love it so much that I usually end up with eyes watering and me sneezing - the family find it a source of constant amusement.

I don't think this deals is as goods as it first looks, not as good as the previous price crunch offers anyway.

Same size chicken is £1.99 in tesco.
1Kg Carrots 45p
800g Birdseye peas (twice the size) £1

So the only real bargain is the homeroasts.

Don't knock it, we need all the supermarkets to be running good deals; from work I can walk to Morrisons, I have to drive to Tescos!

Its not really the individual prices that make it the good deal - its the whole idea of being able to provide a family meal for £4 - tescos may have a chicken for £1.99, 1kg of carrots for 45p, and peas for £1 - but can you get the roast potatoes and yorkshires in tescos for 56p to make it a complete dinner for a family for £4?

Personally I think these offers are great - and with this particular offer - it can all go in the freezer - so you could stock up while the offer is on! - if you have the space to haha
