A nice neck of the woods is Caernarvon mate and quite suprised that there's no M&S presence in the town, however a great £10 wrap off their local Butcher. If any lost souls are planning on buying fresh 5% lean minced beef from Sainsurys, then their new unthought out vacumn packaging has turned their contents into dog meat.
The first to mess and hopefully the last!
Sainsbury’s first UK retailer to vacuum pack all beef mince saving 450 tonnes of plastic each year

Click the reviews for feedback. If you can make a Spag go Bol with this green packaging then your a good un!
It's impossible to make a Shep-Pie as it turns instantly to slop. They're aware of the issue but have chosen not to act on consumer concern. No mither with their other gear mind. Not ate their chicken so can't comment.
Some interesting posts re the salmon farms and have not eaten much fresh, save for John Wests tinned. Unsure if that is factory farmed but if so will cease and desist.
Some worrysome times on the horizon as old Mr Starmer prepares his oven ready deals for the fiscal pot. So in order to help members through the uncertain coming months, I've sourced a deal to help feed the family with fresher gear.
I urgently needed to change suppliers to meet our new excating standards, and although we were willing to pay 50% more for our better reared chicken breast supply, a little discount hunting wouldn't go amiss.
Heres the deal if anyone is remotely listening in as the country meats it's Waterloo.
Go to Ocado and register if your not already a member. Ocado deliver food and hold a 50% partnership with M&S.
There is a code to copy to checkout for a 25% discount up to a maximum of £20. VOU4435047
You will also get 3 months "anytime free delivery" worth £24 with no obligation to continue
And last but not least you will recieve a free Ocado tea towel worth £3.
So £47 discount on an £80 order equates to around a 60% discount. Insane but true!
Minimum spend for this deal is £60.
I have just cobbled together our shop for a Saturday midday delivery, buying 4 x 1kilo packs Oakwood Gold reared Chicken breast @ £36 and then filled the trolly with the remaining £44 ofgoods that were on offer. As an example 10 bottles of 2litre fanta and paid only for 5 bottles with a buy 2 get 2 free deal and lots of other half price gubbinge that we usually use, so no unnesasary purchases otherwise it negates the effort.
So thats our story come to a close, as we now face the next month happily tucking away into our delitious M&S Oakwood Gold Halland Slow Reared Chickens for all of our summer kebabs and stir fry's.
Good quality and good animal husbandry doesnt have to cost the earth, and with a little tickling and manipulation we can eat better for around the same price as we were paying for Aldis haggard broilers.
The icing on the cake is Ocado have also locked us into a Tesco price match and will refund the difference if the price is more than Tesco. And as a bonus we may even live longer as were now eating better. Hoozah!
If we work together we survive!
