    £2.60 a kilo for frozen sausages, burgers and chicken wings?

    Is that really good value?

    2 packs of sausages = 900g = £2
    8 Burgers (not quarter pounders?) = 450g = £2
    Add the rest as chicken wings which are 50% bone?

    I'd bet you could buy fresh stuff for the same money or frozen for less?

    You could get the same number as fresh burgers and sausages for £3 from morrisons.

    unspecified special 'meat'. The special stuff, yum yum.

    i can't afford to eat decent meat from the butchers all the time (hardly ever!).., so i dont eat meat all the time. each to their own of course and i do not want to ram my opinions down anyone's throat, but i'm always perplexed as to why people feel the need to justify buying crap meat with the argument 'oh but i cant afford better, it's alright for those that can etc etc'...

    there's SOO many more meal options out there than 2nd rate meat that has probably lived an unhappy life and produces an inferior meal too. We don't have to settle for it.

    Just my 2p worth of course, don't get het up please 'meat' lovers
