I can confirm that you can't actually order them by phone, or have them heated in store.

Takeaway, pfft!

My local Morrisons might attract more customers if they put some stock on the shelves.

Any chance of a comment about what these Chinese meals are like rather than those about specific store cleanliness?

Thank-you to all who provided commentary on the pros and cons of their local supermarkets. I do have two questions though:

Firstly, what the **** do any of these comments have to do with this deal?

Secondly, where do I go to get back the precious time that I just spent reading about the state of the shelves in your local Asda?

:confused:

Unfortunately all the supermarkets get tied with the same mass produced factory stuff brush.

That's why Morrisons stuff is done in thier M Kitchens by trained chefs and not folk in factories following formulas.

I'm not knocking the latter. But most people are cost driven but want quality. Something has to give somewhere. So to remain price competitive. You get a bit less in weight. Though the meat to sauce ratio is better too.
Morrisons could have increased the weight amount and just added more sauce, but it's about getting it right. That's the difference. Am sure if you try it, you will realise. Like I said, shame we just look at it andoes think....."Wow that is expensive for the amount you get" When it's probably a smaller profit margin too.

Anyways, enjoy to those buying em in. Am sure this is a small loss leader to get some new customers trying out the range.

Oh and a side note.....Sausage rolls cooked in store and doughnuts are the best tasting out of the supermarkets too. Give me a Morrisons Sausage rolls over a greasy Greggs every time!

You can't make my wife buy anything from the fishmonger in Morrison's..

Congratulations littletime for the most ignorant comment of the day. I see you deleted it but not before DevilD quoted your racist comment about the lack of white people in Enfield.

Don't think this is an interesting observation relative to the deal. In fact why would this be at all relevant?

Tried the crispy battered sweet & sour chicken (the one in the foil tray) tonight and it was excellent. Sauce was very rich & tangy. Chicken was breast fillet (not reformed). Overall even nicer than Sainsbury's version of the same meal - and I never thought I'd say that. Bargain at £1.50.

They had crispy chilli beef too :smiley:

Aldi/Lidl will soon reach a peak and then start to loose it.
They have a few problems which they dont seem to be addressing:

1. They dont seem to be any cheaper than the main supermarkets if you stick to buying supermarket own brand stuff
2. They only have 4 checkouts at the ones in our town (vs 20+ for Tesco/Asda/Morrisons/Sainsburys) so theres allways long queues at the checkouts
3. when you are at the checkout, your goods are flung through at hyperspeed, meaning you have to chuck everything back into the trolley that you have unpacked so you can then re-pack it into carriers away from the checkout. Its just hassle!
4. Aldi/lidl are set out like warehouses (Like Asda of the 80's) so everything is a jumble in no logical order. They just dont seem at all welcoming (Very German)
5. A LOT of things on sale are very close to sell-by-date (was uncovered on Dispatches a few months back) and some even considerably past the sell by date

I briefly tried Aldi/Lidl as the main supermarkets but i quickly uncovered their flaws and switched back to Asda/Sainsburys

kim chung fat bhoi - Happy Chinese New Year to all

just beef and chicken. shame no prawn, fish or veggie

Nothing for veggies COLD

thanks!! just stocked up the freezer!

Iceland also running Chinese New Year promotion to Monday 8th. Already posted on this website.

I normally buy the special fried rice and then chuck the chicken curry one over the top. Lush after a few lagers watching the footy.

I like Morrison's Market Street, just wish they had a veggie selection :disappointed:

£1.50 for 350g worth of food is not that great in all honesty

I've found the Indian and Chinese Takeaway food really nice from Morrisons. The containers looknow to have less product than you'd expect. But the quality of the food is very good.
Shame it's not on the Indian too, but I will be stocking up.

Worth paying but more for quality, but with this deal you get both

Any chance of a comment about what these Chinese meals are like rather than those about specific store cleanliness?

Grabbed some crispy chilli beef and some chicken curry with some spring rolls good deal at £1.50 and £1 for the spring rolls. I would never pay the full asking price though.

I have had a few of these before (yellow stickered) and I can confirm in my humble and opinionated opinion, it tastes the same as any other stores takeout range after a few drinks, with the exception of Asda which is pretty spot on with the dodgy takeaway with a very generous 2 star hygeine rating.

I should hope they're £1.50. The portions are TINY with these. I'm sure they'd try and tell you it's 'portion control' but I am a grown adult now with an appetite bigger than an anorexic water vole. No way are they ever worth full price.

If you rate Tesco sandwiches then Morrisons sandwiches must be really awful! As soon as you open the packaging on a Tesco sandwich the bread dries out faster than bread in a toaster! Pitiful quality really :-(

My local morrisons is very poor . The self checkouts are slow and not fit for purpose ( and they are the new versions) . Apart from the specials , most items more expensive than asda/ tesco . Always 50% checkouts closed ,except Saturday's. Unrewarding shopping in a competitive market.. especially as Home Bargains/Aldi/tesco/wilko/cheaper local butcher/fruit shop,all in walking distance of my local .. Special offers the only time I venture in.Cant see them surviving long term.

Re comments about poor standards at Morrisons, I think it's store management dependant. For example my local was selling rotten meat for a while, like it was the norm. Also, some of the staff were communicating in their ethnic language, which is fine in the staff room, but very rude in front of customers. So, in spite of it being my nearest supermarket, I gave it a swerve for a while. Anyway, went there recently and spotted management faces which I hadn't seen before. So far no rotten meat and everyone speaks English in front of customers, which is nice.

Oh, and heat for the deal OP!

Morrisons at New Brighton is spotless & the shelves are always stocked full of products.
Are you sure you are not talking about Tesco which has always looked grubby.

I prefer Morrisons over other supermarkets,but use all of them for offers when i need to.
Asda is the worst.Their shelves look like a jumble sale if there's anything good on offer like cereals.Empty box flung everywhere etc..Misprices all over the place.You've got to scrutinise your receipt before you go.

Aldi is great for same date bread and bagged salad.Most people don't even realise,they just take them off the shelf without looking.

wow. that's crazy. Tesco used that method TWENTY YEARS AGO!
And even they don't get it right.

the containers are not suitable to be re-used. at your own health risk.

Agreed. It was about the same time they were making staff cuts I started noticing them (tablets), maybe just me, or their rollout! lol.

That's some antiquated management structure! I know they boast of 'Market Street' as being a key selling point, but no need to have the stock management practices of a 1960's green grocer.

My local is good but just never go near their salad bar as they sold me 2 containers of foods that had gone off. Nasty.

Yes they've been using the tablets instores for 2 or 3 years now whilst this makes the task easier than carrying around folders full of paper it would have been much cheaper to invest in an automated ordering system and using handheld scanners to check for gaps on shelfs and keeping stock inventory up to date/accurate. This type of out of date manual ordering only works properly in shops with a small product range and isn't suitable for businesses selling 1000's products in store.

A few months ago my local one started using 'staff-held' tablets for stock-control/stock-keeping.. Mighty frustrating when I'm chasing 'yellow stickered' items. Still unsure about sales IT actually being joined-up to orders though!

My local Morrisons is fab, Unlike Tesco, The fresh produce doesn't expire on the day you buy it!

These Chinese meals are quite good for ready meals. and I also reuse the containers... :smiley:

Morrisons stores are still even in these modern times manually ordering all of their stock item by item. ASDA, Tesco & Sainsburys have an automated ordering system in place to keep stock coming in. I can only guess Morrisons instore managers aren't ordering enough of products into stores as my local store has often ran out of certain products and for more than a week sometimes.

i like morrisons. also, they're generally pretty cheap compared to tesco or sainsbury's.

i've had these chinese meals before (some of them), and have to say they're pretty nice.

Same at my local. I've began thinking it's just a Morrisons thing in general.

You have to check the dates at my local as a lot of stuff is ood on that day or the next. I've given up buying bread products there. Spalding/Pinchbeck

My local Morrisons might attract more customers if they put some stock on the shelves.

Have to agree . But they chuck out some really good offers.. A litre of JD at Xmas for £15 for example . Generally awful stores .

morrisons is grim nowadays,don't trust buying their food.

Thank you will be in there today,

I can confirm that you can't actually order them by phone, or have them heated in store.

Takeaway, pfft!
