I note that the SmartPrice beef roasting joints are £5.75/kg.

Therefore, is £4.00/kg correct? Have ASDA done their usual "yo-yo pricing"/website error tricks at the same time, and this is really £14.00? And, if it is on offer, I won't be surprised to not be able to find it on the shelves.

Yes SP is £5.75, and yes the £4.oo is correct. I bought 3 big joints instore this morning. Hope you get some.

Its silverside and yes its suitable for all of those. I live on my own so like to buy a big joint and cut off enough for a roasting joint, slices for steak, chunks for stew, casserole or curry. Saves a fortune, these diced beef was £8.00. and I don't even bother to look at the price of steak as I know I couldn't afford it.

Thanks so much for the tip meg. I'm going past Asda later so I'll look for some.


I've bought them before and cut it up into small joints and casserole pieces.
