Half Price meat boxes

13

Comments

  • I have just spoken to them on the phone. The half price offer is only intended for selected customers and they will not honour it.

    They did say they are putting together a special offer package that will be on the website later today in response to this post on MSE, but not the half price boxes.

    Hope that helps anyone that was interested.

    You clearly arent happy with the whole concept of "organic" or or butchers in general, and thats fine.


    Where did he say this then? I can't see anything other than a general note of caution, and a gentle reminder that any tradercan be unscrupulous at times.

    Come on - just because someone demurs at the price of something, or suggests that not all butchers are ruddy-cheeked, animal-loving Food Heroes or whatever, does not mean that they're waving their bare backside at good food principles and forcing Turkey Twiddlers into your kids' mouths.
    Oh come on, don't be silly.

    It's the internet
    - it's not real!

    i was thinking something similar :D

    sorry to have started off a debate about ethical meats here,
    the reason i posted is you were all really excited at the price and i was thinking bloody hell thats expensive,

    It appears that my family cant stretch to eat meat with an address at the moment... id love to be a bit more organic and "concerned" but id also love not to be overdrawn before ive even done the shopping,
  • disappointed at the loss of the half price offer, but hey think I'll still try the small box. 20% is still a good deal and I've been thinking about doing this 4 a while.

    When does the 20% offer run to Simon?

    That is very disappointing.

    I told the chap who rang me that I would mention the offer here -I told him the name of the website and of this board and explained what it was about and that it was here that I first heard of the company and as a result ordered a box. He thanked me for offering to spread the word. Maybe he misunderstood me or I misunderstood him:confused:

    I am very sorry that those of you who were interested in the boxes cannot take advantage of the offer.
  • Not your fault hon. You were doing a nice thing - still getting a 20% discount which is better than nothing :-D

    Looking forward to getting it. Yummy
  • Sorry, I've had to delet a post above, as it contravenes this rule:
    Company representatives are actively encouraged to post on the forum to provide good customer service to MoneySavers. They should not be using the opportunity to tout for business. We need to know in order to legitimise it. Where permission has been given for a company/person to specifically post there will be a note from the MSE Team. If someone has posted claiming to have been given permission but this has not been followed by a MSE team note please report it to [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

    I've contacted the poster directly, and advised them that they're free to post once they have permission from the MSE team ;)

    Oh goodness, it's getting worse -I am so sorry for posting this thread, it's turning into a big mess. I did post in good faith. Sorry everyone.

    Perhaps it should be closed?
