    M&S this year as I had a voucher from work.

    Sick of ordering a 10lb turkey from the butcher and getting there to have been allocated a 15lb or larger one for £50+

    Yes yes I know it is now March but I wanted to give an update on the £9 bargain turkey from Morrisons, we have had to defrost our deep freeze so tonight we decided to have a Christmas Dinner as we had to take the turkey out of the freezer, crazy I know don't ask!

    Anyway we were going to save it for Easter, I am glad I didn't! What an absolute pile of c**p! I was late home tonight so decided to take the breasts off and roll them together with a bit of stuffing in the middle so it would cook quicker, I kid you not this thing is disgusting, I am so glad we did not use it at Christmas. It was full of watery liquid and they have injected it all over with the most fowl looking grease I have ever seen! By the time I had taken the 2 breasts off and rolled them, I have seen a bigger chicken breast than these 2 put together! Not worth the so called bargain £9 price!

    It actually made me feel quite sick it was that messed with, so it is now cooking in the oven for the dogs tea, he is looking quite happy at the thought, he is welcome to it!
