T his must be a record . Note the saving. We only popped in to Tesco for a last minute loaf!
Bargain Basement Deal of the Day
- Thread starter Dustydog
- Start date
With a 26/12 use by date it would otherwise go to landfill so they need to sell it by close of business - at any price.
We support a local day centre where our elderly and or lonely souls meet three times a week for company and a hot meal at discounted rates.
The plan is to do them a special Easter Turkey roast. It will be ok In the freezer for now.
An absolute sacrilege to throw on the landfill 🙉

Wow, is that the price of a turkey now? We’ve had goose for the last 25 years from the local farm so out of touch with turkey prices!
Morrisons serves less people than Tesco from a heavier bird. Can only assume that hosts that shop at Morrisons are more generous with their servings than Tesco hosts . And the Morrisons reduced price is lower than Tesco. A good find.
Did I miss something Clive? Cheaper than mine ?
But I do note Morrisons is an Organic Turkey. Tesco’s is only Free Range. Probably fed differently😜. All sales jargon. The success is in the cooking. Good old Delia Smith👍
Dusty, in my book £20 is less than £27.75. I know I gave up accountancy in the Leceister. City Treasurers department, preferring an engineering apprenticeship but I still retain a modicum of financial acumen. 😂😂😂
Oops Borderbilly will be telling me to go to Specsavers again and Saxo Appeal needs better resolution on his camera. Head hangs in shame.

Anyone who would pay nearly £150 for a Turkey, needs a check up from the neck up! 🤷
Originally the Morrisons turkey was more expensive at £20 per kg than the Tesco turkey at £17 per kg. However only a turkey would pay that sort of price.
Organic stuff is a lot more expensive than normal produce which is why we never buy organic plus hardly any taste difference. Veg grown in our back garden tastes better!

Organic Vs non organic is not just about taste.
This could be a good discussion topic similar to EV vs ICE. 😉

Coming from South Africa where the majority of meat excluding chicken is free range, we found the meat in the UK to be rather bland with not much taste. Same with veg. In SA if we had chicken once a month it was a treat.
However now we are acclimatised we find the meat tasty that we buy from a butcher or farm shop. Supermarket meat is still very bland and tasteless.
Each to his own but as I've mentioned before we're vegetarians and our preference is for cerified organic food.
Mrs V grows a lot of veggies for which she uses organic practices. When we have to buy from outside it will be supermarket organic but even this is not as good as the organic box schemes we use when visiting our families.
As mentioned it's not specially about the taste although between home grown, box schemes and supper market organics there is a noticeable difference in taste with the supermarket stuff at the bottom.
The main issue for us is the provinace of the food. Where and how it's grown and importantly no use of harmful chemicals.

We found with supermarket vegetables sometimes the blander taste reflects the varieties that are grown.
It's possible but may equally be due to the time of year the product was grown and how.
Years back we were only used to buying veggies when they were in season. These days the supermarkets want us to have the same things at any time of the year and often quality suffers.
We find tomatoes in particular can be very tasteless out of season even if coming from abroad.
Some years ago the Hydroponica near Achiltibuie grew veg all year round “organically” but with the roots in water. I guess some natural feed may have been used. All tasted excellent.
