Are there any good offers in these Stores For Mince or Chicken Pieces. Buy one Get one Frees. Or how the prices compare

Also can you get Soya Mince & Lentils in Aldi/Lidl?

I got 2 for £3 taste the difference mince todday in sainsburys, I think thats a long term price offer as Ive had it a few times. Definatley up there with the leanest supermarket mince. Although of course your butcher is likely to be cheaper, but far too fatty for OH who has high cholestrol. Although tescos standard lean mince I think is slightly cheaper, and pretty lean I find.

We dumped chicken in favour of turkey some time ago although Tescos have got normal chicken for 2.99 for 3/4 breasts on offer at the mo, We tend to buy free range though which is also on offer there at the mo.

Have you ever seen https://www.fixtureferrets.co.uk tells you all the offers and where they are

If at all possible, I'd recommend you buy braising steak and mince it yourself. I bought a 1950s mincer from ebay for a few quid, and now I have the comfort of knowing exactly what's in my mince. Obviously realise this isn't an option for everyone.

The steak mince from Lidl is lovely and I stock up on it when It's on special at 99p.

If you find "regular" mince too fatty, simply brown it in a pan with no other fat. Cook it slowly until it browns. Then tip the whole lot into a sieve with a bowl underneath and leave it to drain.

Use the drained mince and chuck the contents of the bowl away. No need to buy "lean" mince, which the supermarket often charges extra for - plus the "fatty" mince is more tasty, even with the fat removed

Is there another way?

It's the fat which gives meat it's best flavouring!

The only downer on that principle, and it isn't a big one just one to be aware of, is that you are of course paying for the weight of any fat. In my opinion, it's worth it, but others may not agree.

Of the stores you have to choose from, I prefer Sainsbury's. Ideally, a real butcher is best though.

Can you not get to your local market at all? I buy our mince for 99p a pound (but they're always generous!) then separate and freeze. It's good quality, lean and delicious.

Failing that I buy Tesco organic mince - ever so slightly dearer but hardly any fat comes off and it's so full of steaky flavour!!

Just been to the Co-op to put my Lotto on and noticed

Co-op 500g British Beef Mince Was £2.69 reduced to £1.29.
Use by Date today, great I thought, fill my Freezer. I took three.

I paid heard them discussing what they were putting them through for.

£10 note
minus
£4.00 lotto
19p Yoghurt
£5.31 Change

Meaning 69p for 3packs of Mince
23p each.

What a Bargain. Id go and get the remaining ones but well no room in the Freezer.

Maybe they had just changed to price according to the time and just hadnt done the stickers yet.

All I need now is a Lotto Win

Bravo! A good deal in the first place, but even better when you'd paid.

Wish I did that well..
