    I would prefer not to eat a battery farmed Turkey for xmas dinner though - and I expect this one is for the price.

    Just back from Tesco's & Bernard Matthews frozen turkeys are £10 although must admit I don't tend to buy frozen.
    Did buy some nice chantenay carrots though for 40p. Just thinking about it I may pop back for more to put in the freezer.

    Plus these prices for veg are the prices in the stores at the moment, which may change by mid december anyway, yes I know you could freeze the veg but I prefer fresh veg anyway and some people may not have a freezer.

    2kg of potatoes for £1 isn't such a great deal, I just got a 25kg sack from my local farm for £4.50
