I dont think there was any need to post that picture ..
Some people might not have the budget that stretches to paying £4 for 2 chicken breasts. Plus the chicken breasts that are on offer for £1 are the same ones that usually cost nearly £3.

until we moved to a market town recently with 3 butchers - were were practically veggies rather than buy bad cheap supermarket meat.

soon as we had kids i decided that quality is what matters not price or quantity and this is on an 80pound a week budget for a family of four

if you dont like cheap food dont buy it! why even post in here if your not interested in the bargain? trying to wind people up no doubt? not all of us are fortuante enough to be able to afford expensive food which is usually the same as the cheaper food with a different label whacked on it! if your not interested in moneysaving why are you here

i am interested in saving money (my weekly budget is 40 pound less than that of all our friends with 2 kids the same age as us) - however there is such a thing as a false economy and quality over value.

i shop in asda to buy 6pints of organic milk as my local shops only sell it by the pint and the local milkman can't get it in.

Thanks to the OP for posting.

I personally prefer to eat less chicken and buy free range, however for anyone who wishes to purchase, this is a bargain...

£80 a week for a family of four may be twice as much as some folk have!

£1 for 2 breasts is a great deal for those who were in the market for the same chicken when it was |£3 odd anyway.
Great post, thanks.I dont eat meat but I know a few people who will take advantage of this offer

I always look for free range - if a shop doesnt have them I ask to speak to the manager. They may think Im dotty but I dont want for the sake of pennies to think Im inflicting such horror on defenceless animals.

Ditto ANYTHING from Bernard Matthews - wont touch it and query why a shop has it on sale.

Why is it when someone mentions chicken or eggs you get a lecture on how badly the chickens are kept.
If you don't like the offer why look? those that buy the cheap stuff know what we are buying thanks and we will live with our own conscience. If you have the money to buy free range then great but stop lecturing anyone that doesn't have the same views or money. This is an offer and i'm getting me some so thanks op for posting.
