  • The frozen chicken is cheaper in Aldi and Lidl and you don’t have to buy 3 packs at once.

    Aldi Essentials  £3.50 per kg.    Farmfoods current offer equates to £2.50 per kg.  (and when reverts to 3kg for £10  Farmfoods still wins on price....just!!   ...though at that point you have to factor in travel/convenience )

    600g pk bacon, smoked or unsmoked, is £2.69.  FF usual offer is 3 pks for £7.  Currently they are doing 3 pks for £5.........so 1.8 kg for £5, unbeatable.

    When comparing the price of frozen chicken breast you need to factor in the amount of added water.With some it can be as much as 20 % water.
    I've just switched to veggie sausages because they are generally a lot lower in saturated fat and Farmfoods do 3 packs of Linda McCartneys for £5 whereas in some shops they are £2 + for 1 pack so a good deal

    A glass of chicken water is good for you.
    Much tastier than a glass of cabbage water.

    Kerry Maid baking block 250g    10p.
    10 Big barn eggs    49p.
    Not seen either of these products before. Wondering if they usually go to caterers.    I feel a baking day this weekend.

    Oh dear, just read some reviews,and, they're not good.   Haven't had one for probably 40 years!   Looks delish on the lid.   Will report back.....if I  manage to open the tin!

    I had one a couple of months ago. It's not fine dining and not something I'd be eating every week but perfectly adequate for the price paid. I think I paid a quid.
