    MIL gets meat from McDowells all the time. She gets the freezer packs (frozen) of lamb cutlets and steak.

    Also huge bags of spuds for cheap and other yummy things too at McDowells!

    Most are just shops that are on farms and dont sell anything from the farm, just from the cash and carry and veg wholesale market, must be the "it came from the farm " factor so it must be better.
    They are damned expensive as well.

    Corries & the one I mentioned are farm shops that butcher their own animals,prices for meat is good but stuff like pies & the like are bought in & quite expensive in most cases.
