This is not even the regular size of 340g which would work out at £4.23!

My late OH used to call it Typhoid sarnies as years ago there was an outbreak in Switzerland I think blamed on Corned beef.

I don't know about Switzerland, but I do recall the outbreak in Aberdeen:

I noticed today that Corned Beef had reappeared in Aldi, £1.39 for 340g. When I last bought some back in January it was £1.19.

That's a co-incidence! I noticed it in Aldi on Saturday and bought a can - it was really lean and didn't have very much fat on the outside at all. I will definitely buy again!

I bought a tin from B & M which was about £1.69 but it is really lean and I think it said it was 97% beef.

It was Ship brand, red label with a galleon or something on the front of it.

Very nice, I will def buy some of that again.

Ive been on strike since they all put it up to near the £2 mark and havent bought any for best part of a year - but I too saw the aldi one and bought it the other day - not had it yet will save for a rainy day corn beef/potatoe pie.

Got 2 of the Basics corned beef from Sainsbugs, for £1.49 each to add to my existing stash of corned beef bought from Netto.

All to be used for heart warming meals during the winter.

Yes we definitely need corned beef to go in our stovies for the winter.
