Asda are doing chickens for £2 each this week not sure when it is on to though - It is a fair size and not the value one.

    Does it say on the pack the weight of the chicken and what sort of chicken it is? It sounds like a good price but I am trying to buy more ethically sourced chicken.
    Life is too short to waste a minute of it complaining about bad luck. Find joy in the simple things, show your love for those around you and be grateful for all that you have. :)

    There's no way on this good earth that a £2 chicken can be anything other than minimum welfare standard.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

    But it isn't actually a £2 chicken! They are normally £4.48 each, it's a special offer, they did the same thing a few months ago.

    was in there today and looked on the small side to me. Didn't actually check weights so don't shot me down in flames was just going on appearance. Not enough for my family of 5 but a good buy for a smaller family.
