I've used it a couple of times when I've been on a very tight budget.

It's not bad, good for burgers and the like if you grill them as the fat drains off, when cooking up I brown it for longer or drain the mince to get rid of as much of the fat as possible. Have to say though if you can afford it, better to go with the bigger pack, £3.50 I think it is for double the size.

Agree-would avoid it but when I bought it once it was awful in a bolognese but ok in HM burgers.

I would be more tempted to buy good mince and bulk out with either lentils or oats.

Cheap mince tends to be very fatty, so once you've drained off the fat, for the weight of usable meat, you might as well buy better quality in the first place

Nope. Never have and never will.

I buy good quality lean mince and bulk it out with all sorts of things... lentils, oats, soya mince, veg...

I even use lean mince when making hm burgers but add some mild olive oil as I find them dry otherwise. I would rather do that than use cheap fatty mince.

No, I haven't.

No, I never buy value brand mince.

I buy value stewing steak and mince my own.

iv tried it....i put it in a pan to brown and found i was left with very little meat and a lot of fat....i got a costco pack of mince for £7 and split it in to 10 packs so 70p a go...i found it to be very good but u need access to costco
