Yes the overweight in some pre packed is not significant but still important to work out the per Kg price. Today I brought 300g lamb chops. Actual weight was 353g. But in future when they close the meat counter in the supermarket we won't have to choose between loose (counter) and pre packed anyway!
We will ....... buy from your local high street butcher :T"Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain."

They're not identical though, the netted onions are largerApparently, everybody knows that the bird is [strike]the word[/strike] a moorhen0 -
Good idea, except T*sco forced the closure of many of them when people voted with their wallets buying meat at T*scoAnd the bakers and the fruit and veg shop etc.
I'd agree with that to an extent but in my area they (the butcher especially) has gone all artisan and charges a fortune.next time you are in a supermarket check a few 335g heads of broccoli on the scales and you'll quickly see it
Do shops have to provide scales? I don't recall seeing any for some time.0
