You could save even more by not buying diet coke or Pepsi!

Do you always criticise people's lifestyle choice?

Could anyone tell me how much chicken fillets are at costco? and things like multi packs of diet coke/diet pepsi? was thinking of joining to save money on shopping

I'm not sure of the price of the chicken breasts, but I'm sure they are much cheaper than the supermarkets as they are bigger. If I use them for a curry etc I only normally use one, which we find enough for two of us. Hth

Just be aware that they aren't free range though.

a packet of chicken breast - about 2.5kg - costs around £14. it's dependent on the actual weight of the pack. I think the kilo price is about £6.50

they're not but for the price, they are better value than the supermarket non-free range ones.

If MAKRO is an option, either for yourself or via a friend or relative, then Chicken Breast fillets are just £4 a kilo (5 or 6 in a 1kg pack)

You can also get 5kg packs - either "portion controlled" (each fillet within 20 grams of each other - min 210g to max 230g I think) for £19.99

OR a non "controlled" one for £19.49

Bought some today (and many times before) and they are excellent.

On a related matter - TURKEY

Today I also picked up a fresh Turkey BUTTERFLY that I'll be cooking for a Christmas lunch a week tomorrow.
It's just both breasts (still joined) with the skin - No bones or carcass like a crown.
Just £3.69 a kilo - mine was almost 6kg and cost just under £22
That should be enough for 32 diners.

That is about as big as they come, the smallest are about 4kg.

Excellent quality and value - this must be the 5th year we've had one of these.
