Buy chicken - benefit from others' paranoia

Options
Now's the chance to stock up on chicken (and other poultry) products. Tesco have BOGOF on whole chickens; M&S have chicken pies half price. I'm sure everyone else is discounting them like crazy too.

    Haven't had chicken for what seems like ages! Nothing to do with the news reports though! I was talking to a friend about it when the news broke, she had already thrown out all the poultry and eggs she had .... what an absolute waste!!

    Anyway, will be keeping an eye out for the BOGOF's :D

    Had a roast chicken last night actually. It was absoultely delicious and we'll certainly do it again. Unfortunately I haven't go the room in the freezer for a couple of BOGOF chickens....otherwise I probably would have bought some.

    And no doubt she is killing herself much more quickly with smoke, drink, junk food or lack of exercise!

    We couldn't even cook turkey for Christmas dinner because someone refused to eat poultry. Depressing.

    buy now and to hell with the utterly horrific lives that poultry tends to suffer!

    that'll teach the farmers not to farm so intensively!

    No doubt an email will circulate soon saying don't answer the door if a chicken rings your doorbell because it will steal your car keys, drug you and steal your kidneys then run up a £150 call charge on your telephone. And everyone will believe it and forward it to all their friends.

    :rolleyes:
