The price of meat
Just flicking through the TV channels and landed on QVC. Currently on air is a pack of 10 x 170g fillet steaks for £95.40 + £5.95 p&P.

Re: The price of meat
More details here
QVC price is about £15.20 kg although the Sainsblurrys Taste the difference steaks are from 14.99 for Rump to 29.99 for fillet (not so bad on price after all) too rich for my pocket though.

Re: The price of meat
Morning Saxo
Yup P&P is becomming increasingly scary, especially when you get charges like £50 for delivery and set up of a bed when it is the manufacturer who is doing the delivery anyway.

Re: The price of meat
I tend to annoy people in department stores by fighting over the cost of delivery.
I do not see when I am paying over the odds for something why I should then be gouged for stupid delivery prices, my cooker was £139, and currys wanted £16 to deliver.
They did not get the £16

Re: The price of meat
For that sort of money I'm sure your local butcher could provide you with a half cow...I'm all in favour for using local providers

Re: The price of meat
I was watching that as well last night and they said if you went to a restaurant and got it as part of a meal the meal would be about £85, sorry no way am I paying that sort of money no matter how good the meat is!

Re: The price of meat
just had a look through Angua's link, wow 2KG of meat cost over £50.
i could finish them all off in an hour (one meal) so that's well expensive. and i would probably stick with the 'buy a whole cow' idea

Re: The price of meat
Let's not forget the TSV price. It (apparently) would normally cost you £60.50p + p&p!
I actually saw that item this morning and i felt sick by the presentation! When i cut my meat, i don't want it to bleed all over the plate (yeuchh!)
I can get a frozen food hamper from Park at a nicer price
