£3.33/kg. Not as good quality as fresh obviously and has added water but still a good price.

this chicken is ideal for stews and stir fried.

My cat says that's a decent price, but she is a bit fussy!

Go see your butcher we get 6kg prime grade A breast for £30 sure one of your locals will sell at that price too.

Because of lack of local access to supermarkets, my butcher buys stuff close to their best before in B&M and sells them in his shop for over RRP. He also sells his daughters terrible cup cakes for £1 each. So, no, not all butchers care about providing value for the community.
They work with very small overheads and struggle to compete with supermarkets. I'm guessing the ones doing great deals are near supermarkets, I'm also guessing they cut corners somewhere to get that meat...

British or imported? Every time I see prices like that, it's from somewhere in the EU.
I have yet to see cheap British chicken breast at a butchers. :disappointed:

Not everyone is going to have space for 6kg chicken though

Our local butchers are all more expensive than the supermarkets. I tend to get my chicken from Costco or Musclefood.com

85% chicken so 1.5kg would be 1.275kg of chicken so about £4/kg.

Not all butchers are line that, your example just sounds like a poorly run business

Or a very well run business? As I said, the thing that drives down butchers prices is supermarkets. That's a fact.
He knows the nearest supermarket is a 20 minute drive away so he has no need at all to sell at competitive prices...
That's why it annoys me when people refer to 'local butchers' like we can all get amazing supermarket beating prices. It just isn't the case...
