Tesco Chicken Breast £12.50 per kg!

I could not believe the price of Tesco's Chicken Breast portions yesterday, a pack of 4 was over £8.00 and the per kilo price was £12.50.
Popped round the corner to Lidl £3.95 per pack £7.35 per kilo.
Looks like Mt T is taking the p***.

perhaps they're intending to have them on offer sometime soon, so they can say that they were originally sold @ ***per kilo.

The price depends largely on how the chickens were raised.

Tesco Everyday Value Chicken Breast Fillets £9/kg

Tesco Skinless British Breast Fillets £11.43/kg (£10/kg multibuy)

Tesco Healthy Living Chicken Breast Fillets £12.50/kg
Live in barns with natural daylight with straw bales and perches

Tesco Finest British Corn Fed Free Range Chicken Fillets £16/kg

Tesco Organic Skinless Chicken Breast Fillets £17/kg

Where and how were the Lidl chickens raised?

So how come my town's butcher sell at £5/kg, not free range but locally produced in Wiltshire to a high welfare?

MR T is taking the Michael (as always)

The answer is clear - use your local butcher. You'll save money and help to ensure a local business survives.

Farmfoods also sell fresh skinless chicken breasts for £5 kilo.

Peter Greenaway and French erotica have a lot to answer for.
