Corned Beef

Kernow666

was speaking to my mum yesterday on the phone and she said my gran wanted a tin of corned beef and she paid £2 for it at sainsburys , i was shocked saying that was expensive but checked Asda where i work and it was same price for princes brand

i always thought corned beef was proper cheap and aimed at those who couldnt afford luxuries

how wrong i was :rotfl:

Should be changed then to conned beef I reckon.

I'm glad someone else has noticed this! Even in places like Lidl and Aldi, corned beef is at least £2 I think. Such a shame - I love corned beef hash

The cheapest is ASDA (£1.49) followed by Sainsbury's & Tesco (£1.50).

It jumped right up in price a few years back..

Funny enough I had corned beef and onion sandwiches last night for tea, and for lunch today.... Yummy

thats for a small tin 200g or 340g if its Asda smart price

the standard size 340g are £2 for princes

be interesting to see if poundland do them and home bargains/b&m

if someone asked me how much a tin was i would say no more than £1

£1.49 for the 340g one (or was it £1.50??)

Sorry but can't remember exact prices but I'm sure they have corned beef cheaper in BM and definitely in Farmfoods if you have one.


I've seen corned beef in £ shop but it's Ye Olde Oak. It's not a brand I've tried (although their ham's OK).

Aldi have it for £1.49 (340g)

Ye Olde Oak corned beef comes in an ordinary tin - so much easier to use a tin opener than the traditional key style opener.
