Tesco - whole cooked chickens €4. €2 if they're still there at closing up time.

Aldi - 2 Angus fillet/ribeye/striploin steaks €12.99/€11.99/€11.99. Not great price, but great quality - just after having the fillets.

Lidl - 400g Irish steak mince 50c off (can't remember the price, could be €2 or something like that).

Haha, good plan. They should sticky this!

The nearest tesco to me has 245g of cooked chicken breast for about €2.50. This seems pretty cheap to me, anyway. I even think it might be some pricing error they'll cop on to soon $:\$

It's a rare Sunday that I don't put one of these in the basket

The meat tends to be quite dry though. Still, at four quid a pop the phrase with "gifthorses" and "mouths" comes to mind :pac:

Lidl already does venison. I was in there last week, and they had venison, pheasant, kangaroo, springbok and ostrich.

Best place for your meaty needs is Branagans wholesale butchers - www.branaganmeats.com.

I just got 2 salmon fillets and 3 chicken breasts for a grand total of 1.60 in Tescos this evening

They were to be used today/tommorrow. Just cooked them had chicken and salmon for dinner and the rest for brekkie!

Right, it's actually 800g (not 400g as I stated earlier) of Irish steak mince for €2.59 in Lidl. I usually buy their Fajita kit for €1.99 and add in a few peppers, an onion, a head of lettuce and a couple of tomatos and have a great meal/snack with plenty of leftovers.

And they have fresh venison, quail and pheasant in Lidl. I think the venison is something like €8 for 2 steaks. Venison has to be one of my favourite meats and is a very lean source of high quality protein afaik.

Also Lidl are doing a turkey breast joint for €8 as well - plenty of good protein/meat in it. I make a mean hot turkey curry with it!

Mods - I'm sorry if I'm beginning to sound like a shill for Lidl, but they do have some quality offers in there!

I would of thought people on the fitness forum would be concerned about overly cheap chicken.
Isnt free range alot better to eat nutrition wise? Im always thinking too about hormones or additives given to those cheaper chickens.
If they get hormones to fatten them up i would guess that stuff would be in the meat too.

Went into Tesco last night and sure enough the price had been jacked up to €4 something.
Every lurk helps.

The hormones are what makes them tasty...and the butter.
