Tesco Value Cornbeef

CountingPennies

First of all, sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, however i personally think this is VERY good value.

The Tesco Value Cornbeef tins are now priced just £1.38. I've bought some not long ago and it was priced £2.00 or £1.99. Not sure if this is just a one off or they have reduced the price permanent.

Hope it helps someone!

Last time I tried a tin of the value corned beef, it had loads of fat around the meat and the meat was visibly and texturally lower quality. Have they improved recently ?

Well i've just opened a tin because i'm baking pies and it looks fine to me.

shouldn't this be on the Food shopping and groceries board?

It's not really a grabbit, just Tesco messing about with their prices as they often do.

Just to add I was lucky and found tins of Red Lion Corn Beef for 77p tin in an Express store couple weeks ago. May be worth lookin if you are passing one. HTHs

Hence the reason my first words were "Sorry if this is in the wrong place".

We use the value corned beef all the time, mainly cos if we use it it is for hash and it mashes up lovely in a hash!

I have started buying lidl corned beef from the deli section. You get more grams for your money and its usually got a 3 week shelf life or more. Its been on offer lately making it even better value. No yucky jelly either.

Then you should read that board
The grabbit isn't the sole reason to come to MSE, there are 80+ other boards here.

Last time I checked (month or so ago), home bargains had the cheapest 'branded' corned beef at around 1.79/340g tin for Princes. Good stuff, got so much of it at the time that I am still eating it in my sandwiches right now
Far cheaper than the Morrisons that is next to it, and also much cheaper than their deli section.
