When is a chicken really out of date?

that's a hard one - have you looked at the online butchers that deliver to you?? Meat may be more expensive but they tend to be quite good - meat is sealed in vacuumpacked bags ready fro freezer, downside is you tend to have ot order a minimum amount, good of you've got the room.

Thanks for that, will have a look into it maybe for next month when I have a full months budget to play with.
