Lidl has some good stuff too

It's a great store.
Always cracking offers to be had.
I once bought some frozen chicken breasts from Farmfoods..... full of water and tasteless!
The trick is to choose the best items from the various Bargain shops. But meat is best from the big stores (Morrisons is the best of of the 'average' supermarkets in my opinion).
I agree with that.
If you're buying supermarket meat Morrison is the best.
ASDA meat looks pale and anemic.
It's packaged all wrong.
Some of it looks like it never saw an animal.
Those pieces of pork with a combover of fat from another animal is really off putting.
I remember farm foods first shop in bangor.
The prices were unbelievable.
I had a farm at the time not so far away.
Couldn't believe how cheap meat products were.
I'm going back nearly 25 years here so things might be different now but ... almost every meat product had a huge ingredients list which had come from the petropharmachemical companies.
The really off putting thing for me was .... "and other meats" the other was ... "added protein."
You know you're eating utter rubbish when you see those two.
