Looks like an eggceptional price!
However having tasted Iceland food once, I intend to never step foot in there again. But eggs are eggs! (i hope)

Roll on breakfast!!!

Doesn't matter. free range is just the old factory farms putting in couple of scratch mats, cutting a few pop holes and slinging up a fence round a bit of it outside to say they have 'access'. There are 6000 hens crammed in to these big metal production set ups who can barely move let lone get out.
They are killed off yearly thousand and thousands all over the country because they only lay daily 365 at top production level for one year then new chicks are brought in, to go through their short life of hell. I'm not a tree hugger but this utterly disgusts me. All of it.

Iceland are now selling packs of 6 Large Free Range Eggs for 50p. Link.

Roy Orbison.

Tried today, shelf label says £1.75, scans at till at £1.75. Think it's over.

Totally agree, plus the taste difference is massive!

Iceland worry me, money and health clearly go hand in hand the state of people that shop in Iceland is unreal, they are like the walking dead and often on the large side. I pop in now n then, it always shocks me the demographic. Shame their organic project failed, Im still gutted about that.

You might want to read the discussion before commenting blind. I keep hens and sell our eggs so why would I be buying eggs from factory farms? If you 'had' followed up you would know that the point some of us have been making is that many consumers are not given the true facts and being conned into buying food which is not as portrayed. Furthermore there is no legislation which differentiates between eggs from hens from factory units and small ethical operations.

Definitely finished, back up to £1.75 in my local store today.

Not at the farm where we buy our free range eggs, you need to find a better supplier for your eggs

Less than 15p an egg and people can't afford them yet SHELL out5/6/7 hundred pounds for a smart phone. What is this world coming too.

Have to say the outside Barn eggs are the best where the hens eat grain etc..outside . Deep coloured yolks and real quality. Can only afford them on discount but so superior to free range or factory (which are usually much alike)

You have no clue about taste do you? If you want to taste salt just put salt on your bread or toast. It's well known if you scramble an egg whatever the source you get no real taste, if you do an omelette you get the taste of what you add i.e. cheese or ham or whatever. An egg is a binding agent and people who say they can tell the difference in taste are having you on. Do you taste the egg in a burger when it is used to bind the meat together? no you don't.

These eggs aren't the best quality and taste bland compared to M&S or Waitrose brand. Also require a lot more salt to bring out taste.

Cold. Sorry.

Got the last box in my local yesterday for just 75p as one egg in the box was broken.

FYI, they were relatively short dated at 3rd June

How are these range eggs free if you then say they're a pound?

They were back to £1.75 in my local Iceland Lunchtime, as I specifically looked for this deal after seeing it o=n this site. The non free range ones that someone else posted at a similar time for 75p had also gone up nod were now £1.00

Says £1.75 on the site, but just bought some for £1.00 5 minutes ago.

Going by the Iceland website, it appears this deal has now ended and that the price has gone back up to £1.75.

No I'm not. Even though it's just front gate sales I have to comply with all the same legislation as big commercial producers hence why I can't use recycled egg boxes.Although my hens are allowed to live totally naturally the laws about what can be labelled Organic are more about what they're fed. Commercial 'Organic' is certainly far better when it comes to what goes into them but they'll still be slaughtered very young as they're considered only of use in their first 8 months or when they lay at top whack once a day. My chickens only get herbal treatment for ailments and natural worming and are fed grain and forage naturally but sometimes they have kitchen scraps ( spag bol is a favourite and they love porridge) so as I can't guarantee absolutely everything they eat is totally organic and can't legally claim that. The conditions and treatment of what can be labelled free range is so widely variable, from garden chickens like mine through to huge sheds with as many as 16000 crammed in. It's a shame because there are some middle ground ethical commercial farmers supplying into the industry but there's no way to differentiate at present.
I know one farmer who has hundreds of hens and sells the eggs to be packaged as free range but he genuinely has them in small individual coops where they live as a flock unit each in it's own bit of fenced off field and they always look fat, full feathered and healthy. That's someone doing exactly what most people expect from buying free range.
Mine however would only be classed as free range too even though they have optimum conditions.

I don't think anyone will read this thread this far, but although I like what you stated in other comments, I think you're confusing free range with organic eggs.

I'm guessing the chickens that you breed and take care of, are not injected with growth hormones, antibiotics, and other such horrendous rubbish, so they are considered organic.

Although I don't notice a difference in organic vs free range eggs, I do however notice a massive difference in taste and texture of organic full fat milk vs "normal" milk.

Supercalifragilisticeggspialidocious

Google Male Chick Grinding in the Egg industry. Then go watch earthlings :smiley:

With your tastebuds you would be as well buying Iceland meat. :smiley:

Cracking deal. :smiley:

Bought a dozen today.

SEL showed as £1. Half a dozen for 89p (I think). But, plenty of the dozen boxes available.

Self edge label states £1.75..... Scans through til at £1

Marked price or scans at?

Thanks for this.just got some from the Norwich store,marked up at £1.75 but scanning at £1.
Great find

What's your other pseudonym Enid Blyton.

So right on that. My chooks eggs are huge with really thick shells and massive creamy bright orange yolks from all the greens they eat. The taste is worlds away from a so called free range supermarket egg. When I got these 5 ex commercial free range hens their eggs were insipid with thin shells. Now they are laying eggs as good as my other hand reared birds. I sell the excess from a box out front and people pretty much watch till the box goes out and jump on them. 'Clarence Court' eggs are 2.60. I sell for 1.30 and 20p of that is for the box ( EU rules).

Cheap cheap :smiley:

It does make you wonder how much the poor farmer gets paid. Must be about 15p.

There'll inevitably be a Scramble for these.

​Might try that then and get the eggs local.

And when I said I couldn't care less I meant the go watch the footage argument not the actual meat.

Thanks for this heads up. I have gotten the half dozen before for 85p but this is way better. I went there today to get these and the pork scratchings for £1 (everywhere sells them for way more). Shame I missed the 50p tomatoes at the door :disappointed: I must have walked right past them...

I wouldn't say I have a particularly refined pallate, but trust me there is a marked difference in taste between one of my hens eggs and a smart price egg. The taste isn't as noticeable if you fry the egg, but is very noticeable in poached or scrambled eggs.

For reasons mentioned earlier in this thread, there may be little difference in the living conditions between supermarket caged and 'free range' eggs. If you want to take the test (no pressure :man: ), then get some proper free range eggs from a local farmer and test them against cheap supermarket eggs. If you still can't tell the difference then you have no taste buds or may be dead :wink: .

Oh and BTW, by choosing to pay extra to buy your meat from a butcher, you clearly do care about the provenance of your food. Just saying :smile:

Not in Edinburgh :disappointed: £1.75 here!

Strange person. Are you Ali G?

Dey only chickens mate... people blowing kids up over the world, killing endagered species and polluting the earth!

Dont ever go on the internet or youll have a break down! Oops you already did over chickens lol...

Dont worry i get your point but still, the worlds just a bad place coz you humans.

Was some decent cheap veg and meat there when i went yesterday as well.

How do you know what I eat? ​Only meat I buy, be it red meat or poultry, is from my local butchers. In regards to eggs, I have never noticed any difference between the cheap smart price caged eggs and the most expensive brands when eating them.

Then you've made an informed choice haven't you? You choose to eat s**t and aren't fussy about taste, quality or texture but some of us want to know what we're putting into our bodies.
Many people choose to buy higher welfare meat, eggs etc and are being totally conned.

​I've seen loads of the factory farming video footage of all different animals and couldn't care less.

Just to confirm marked as £1.75 but scans at £1

£1 confirmed in Byker, though no shelf edge price... i noticed they are dated till 3rd and 5th June as their best before if anyone was wondering..

good find

yummy, chicken periods!

"Free range". Yeah, keep believing that.

Enjoy your heart disease, I guess.

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/hatched-discarded-gassed-what-happens-to-male-chicks-in-the-uk-10088509.html

Just goes to prove that there are deals for everybody on HUKD's, but mostly car lease deals. Makes a nice Change.

soooo punny!!!

Yesterday's hottest deal was a PS4, today is an eggs box :smile:

They were doing two packs of 10 for £2.50 last time I checked.

Damned Alpha hens!!!

I'm going to try these just to see what all this "free range" is all about.

The Daily Mail is a hideous rag but this article is well written and shows a 'farm' which does not breach the Free Range regulations. Take a good look then enjoy your cheap eggs. Free Range hens enjoying a 'natural' life.

...and many don't. How many hens are in that huge shed? Now how many are shown actually outside? Alpha hens guard the doors and the food source so the majority don't ever getout at all.

Well said.

I have 7 of them wandering about the garden eating dandelion leaves at this moment. They came from the Blue barn rescue set up which has just rehomed 3000 of them. Is taht source enough for you or doesn't personal involvment and experience count. If you want to check the realities of factory farming just google it. There are loads of photographs, videos and articles. Most people don't want to see the nasty reality that lies behind their cheap food. The cruelty aspect isn't the only point though. People who eat like this are putting this c**p into their body and feeding it to their kids.

Its a chicken not a human, it doesnt need or want the same things as you, it has next to no self awareness.[quote=]

You clearly don't know anything at all about chickens. Easier to endorse cruelty when you can pretend it has no emotions or can't feel pain though isn't it?

Me Too.

Tomato ?

I don't. I have a few chickens for eggs and when they take time out and don't lay I get some from a smallholding where their hens have a similar real free range life. Food is incredibly cheap in this country and very low quality as a result of factory farming.

It's not hot they have been this price in Spain for ages.

Liking this:p I've no problem with Iceland. Especially the Chicken Madras. Except maybe that it's only 375g a pack (need two to satisfy a hungry Saturday night.......) :sunglasses:

Yea £1 in Leigh

Most free range egg farms look like this, my neighbours have one.

You claim to keep hens, yet think that it is okay for chickens to be kept in poor conditions because they don't know any better. I call BS. I have kept hens for many years and they are very aware of their environment and their place in it. I have also rescued numerous ex-caged hens and the scared, traumatised and frail hens that we receive are far from happy.

If you claim to keep chickens, you would have heard the contented cluck of a happy chicken, witnessed the warmth and affection they show to others in their brood and have seen them, as a group, defend their territory from any perceived threat. You would also have seen that they have a level of intelligence that allows them to problem solve and make connections with objects to people (such as a car belonging to an owner).

It can be argued that any animal, including humans, will resign themselves to their lot, if they do not know any alternative. However it doesn't make it right, and it most certainly does not mean they are happy with their lot.

Time for a nap....

The poor farmers!

Did you just look at the SEL or actually purchase them?

£1.75 in Leigh store

HP :wink:

Difference is they're normal offer is on caged hen eggs and these are free range.
I would def rather spend the extra few pence and buy free range eggs.

​They're not free range

as are you and the other heaters on here

pound for twelve is 8p each

icelands normal deal for the ten pack is two for one fifty so TWENTY EGGS at 7.5p each, and since eggs can last up to 3-4 weeks and or a big or even small family can go thu up to a pack a day

you lot tell me what the better deal is 8p each or 7.5p???

http://groceries.iceland.co.uk/iceland-class-a-10-large-fresh-eggs/p/55841

Chicken pun

Hold the door!! Yeah i went there

Man up princess!!!

HP or Daddies is my recommendation?

I don't look at this and think what a deal, I just worry about the quality of l9fe for the frogging chickens.

Its a chicken not a human, it doesnt need or want the same things as you, it has next to no self awareness.


That sounds a hell of a lot better than stuck being in a cage all day every day. However, there is always room for improvement. I personally have garden chickens.

No ones forcing you to buy and eat them!!!

Good protein egg whites

source?

Doesn't matter. free range is just the old factory farms putting in couple of scratch mats, cutting a few pop holes and slinging up a fence round a bit of it outside to say they have 'access'. There are 6000 hens crammed in to these big metal production set ups who can barely move let lone get out.

Thanks for posting, heat added :smiley:

spain - hot :sunglasses:

That is awesome heat added

urgh your pan looks disgusting!

You need to try their luxury range, it's very nice, but then you get what you pay for in food usually.

Free range?

Been that price in Aldi for ages

Mmmm............. think I might actually shell out for these! :innocent:

That's WHY there was none in stock today!

Oh im sound at saying that,as like Doddy im from Scouseland :smiley:

Not quite as funny as when someone tries to say, “Ken Dodd's dad’s dog’s dead” - fast, five times. :smile:

An "Egg"...cellent "Yoke" That Back :wink:

Same, I only noticed when I checked my receipt.

Just picked some up. Was marked as £1.75 on shelf but scanned @£1

Iceland - cold

Nice, laughing at my misfortune, thanks :smirk::disappointed:

​Haha i dont know why i found this so funny

It's a mark of my intelligence that I actually laughed at this :smirk::disappointed:

What!... i just bought 3 packs of 6 for 90p each from iceland

There are some bargains in iceland , its not always about frozen food.

No, don't be silly.


But the were once Cadbury's. :stuck_out_tongue:

These taste horrible

Eggsactly what I'm looking for. A fried and tasted deal. Boom boom!

I think you mean eggonomies of scale? :man:

Are these previously frozen?

All thanks to the purchasing economies of scale that Iceland have over farmers

Eggscuse me but are these Range Eggs actually free or are they a £1 - which eggsactly? What is a Range Egg anyway?

<3 eggy sandwiches.

Looks like an eggceptional price!
However having tasted Iceland food once, I intend to never step foot in there again. But eggs are eggs! (i hope)

I think you had a bad, non-typical experience.

boiling

Cracking price.

Icelands loss leaders are bonkers!!

Roll on breakfast!!!

A great price. Thanks for the heads up.
