HappyHeart Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Just clicked onto the Morrisons website and shocked when I saw rump steak half price 7.74, full price 15.48!! Had forgotten how expensive meat was in the UK, never pay more than $10 a kilo here for rump.....swings and roundabouts!:yes: That'd be $14.23 at current exchange rate and nearly $30 a kilo at full price! At least the meat is cheap is OZ, even if the lemons aren't:wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a bumper harvest somewhere, I bought some last week and thought they had weighed wrong they were that cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKC Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 We don't buy bananas - none of us like them. All fruit is too sweet for me (the last time I had fruit was maybe 10 months ago - I do eat LOTS of veg and leafy greens/salads though), same for OH. The kids have two portions of fruit per day, but no bananas and no dried fruit. They too eat lots of veg. I would rather that meat was cheaper since we eat lots of meat, although we do eat grass fed/free range meat from the butcher rather than supermarket stuff.

pablo Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Didn't go into detail on meat prices over in aus,just remember thinking it was a good bit cheaper,mentioned it in my reccie report in fact i think. Lamb seems to be very dear atm here,beef roasting joint is £10.99 a kilo in sainsbo's,the beef prices i can live with tbh,i got two fat medallion steaks for less than £6 the other day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest51810 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Bring on the steak then lol. I'm not that much of a meat eater, well not red meat but I do like a bit of steak once every so often. Dave used to eat it quite a lot, he made or shopping bill a fortune. I haven't had any since, don't think my mum likes it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpo1971 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I can't stop eating lamb, feel like Hannibal Lecter. I feel sorry for sheep, the tasty b@stards. Pork comes a close second. Beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpo1971 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Pork Belly is ludicrous. I cannot get enough of it. My carnivore instinct is at full pelt lately. I'm a full-on Junior Pitmaster. I've watched a lot of Man vs Food recently and it's fuelled something insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not here, t bone is about $12 a kilo, sirloin or porterhouse the same on offer, usually $15. Get sick of steak... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abz123 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Roasted chickens are $10 or more for an "anorexic" bird but not sure what they cost in Tesco/Asda these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpo1971 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'm quite passe about steak but there's a South African shop near me and they do a steak rub that transforms any piece of beef into something unbelieveable. Also, their curly wurly sausages are gorgeous athough my Mrs finds them slightly unsettling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
