It seems chicken fillets are about 1 euro per 100g everywhere
Anyone know a cheap seller?
In Dublin

Many butchers do offers. One near me in sallynoggin is 10 for 10, they usually weigh about 1.3-1.4kg. That is about €7.40 per kilo. I have not seen any supermarket with good deals in ages.

My tescos sells off cooked chickens around 6pm for about €2-€2.50 each. They can be dried out though, stupid the way they store them.

Aldi had really cheap frozen fillets before, not sure it they are still there.

Yes they still sell them in Aldi, i get mine in the one on Parnell Street but i'm sure they stock them around the country.
I always keep a bag or two in the freezer, they are very handy to have.

If you can borrow a Musgrave's card, I recommend you do. I regularly get them very cheap there.

i get 25 chicken breasts for 22 euros in finglas.

You can twelve for €10 in JC's in swords and they're €1 each in Gleeson's butchers in Blanchardstown shopping centre.

They're decent enough too, no 'bits' that need to be cut off.

If you shop around you'll probably find a local butcher doing similar.

There seems to be a butcher on every street corner these days selling trays of chicken fillets for under €1 per fillet. They usually start around €5 for 5 fillets and get cheaper if you go for the bigger trays.

Some butchers do deliveries these days, if you were willing to freeze it might be worth it. But your suggested trip sounds a bit much, you have to figure how much you value your free time.

No harm to chance asking a butchers with no advertised signs. I would come straight out and say "do you do any offers like 10 chicken fillets for €10".

Some places might do offers but not want to advertise the fact, as many would gladly pay more. If you ask they know you are willing to pay and are probably going to lose a customer/profit if they say no.

Or they might do a bigger bulk deal if you give them notice, so they can tag it onto their weekly order. I know my place gets them in sealed 25 packs.

This crowd do 10 for 10 , free delivery over €70, €5 otherwise
