    SuperValu have some great offers at the moment.

    Sirloin Steak €7/kg (had some last night and was melt in your mouth quality, yum!)
    Special K 750G Half Price €2.46
    Pampers Jumbo Box €9.50

    And as a side note, I usually buy whichever own brand milk for €1.49 for a 2 litre. I notice that SuperValu's has the National Dairy Council stamp that Paul O'Connell raves about. At least you can be sure its Irish! I don't trust the "Produced in Ireland" stamps on Tesco and Dunnes, and SQ is NI milk.

    dunnes milk comes in by the pallet from the north. made by strathroy daries or one of them, pure rotten stuff altogether!! tescos is packaged by golden vale (irish) but the milk is english, a disgrace if you ask me. at least super valu get theres from avonmore

    ya see thats just wrong its the same with meat. just cause its packaged in ireland they can call it irish. this milk in tescos may be bottled by golden vale in ireland but they are english cows.

    as for avonmore being accepted in the uk, fair enough i agree but theres some things that you just want to be irish and others you can accept as english/european.

    .

    Well the national dairy council's website states that the symbol is only used on products which are farmed and produced in Ireland so can you provide a link which proves that this is not the case with tesco milk?

    Thanks OP. Just made a special trip to SV and bought 10 kilos of Sirloin. Had the butcher cube most of it too. Freezer full of yum!

    Got the pampers too though am normally a huggies buyer as they are most likely to be on offer.

    Fair enough the differences between UK and Irish milk are probably extremely small, but if you have ever had a glass of spanish/american/chinese dairy milk you would think otherwise... trust me!!!!!

    My main reasoning for prefering Irish milk is that I'm buying Irish i.e. supporting the poor Irish farmer. I can't tell the difference in the taste.

    There should have been outtrage at the notion that paul O'connell is advocating products that are produced in the ROI and him playing for an all 32 county team.......he should have been ashamed of himself.....hope ferris rattles him in training...and every day they drive in their thousands to stock up on everything english when it suits them.....hypocrites.....!!!!!!:mad:

    got 12 sirloins in sv in ballybane galway and a few of big als
    bbq chicken steaks which were half price also at 2.74.
    Practically had to sit on the freezer door to get em all in so
    that should keep me going till its on offer again in 6-8 weeks hopefully.
    Nobody matches supervalu when it comes to meat prices whatever
    about quality.
    It aint fillet but for under 4euro i had a massive steak earlier
    and it wasnt half bad.

    Maybe you just don't know how to pick a good piece :rolleyes:. I've gone through 3 packs already this week and fed the most critical woman in the world the mother-in-law and all steak was delicious.

    +1, alot of people think the best steak is the steak that has the least amount of fat... No no good sir this is what gives steak its tenderness and its ability to 'melt in your mouth'

    Fat running THROUGH the steak = :)
    No fat running through the steak = :mad:

    I know a good steak..I reared enough cattle and seen them slaughtered.

    But, its like lamb in that its hard to know from looking at a piece of meat if its a spring lamb or an oul stag ewe.
