Yet where are all your Aldi deals

No I'm not having a go either :wink:

People in glass houses............

Aldi's wonderful prices (approximate)
£2.78 450g minced beef
£2.49 pork loin steaks
£3.10 diced stewing beef
£1.00 approx sausages
Total £9.37 approx
that leaves £0.63 for 800g boneless pork shoulder joint << not going to happen

Obviously I can't speak for every store but I work on the butcher's counter at Morrisons and I think we have excellent quality meat. I always buy my meat from there, I look at some of the prepackaged meat other supermarkets are selling sometimes and I'd be ashamed if I'd prepared it. I have the advantage of knowing exactly what I've prepared of course, but it's usually quite obvious whether the person behind the counter knows their stuff or not and we should be happy to help.

Oh and for the record the packs are good value, but they're a pain in the a*se to make up so damn you for bringing them to attention tc :-p

Priced it all up and individually, it would be around £5 more.

shame misses don't like pork that's a hawt deeeeel

ahaha am porky enuff :smile:

You could buy all this seperately for probably less

naaa

Seems good deal. Shame we only have a tiny Morrisons here

.... and a partridge in a pear tree! :smile:

In morrisons ? Or maybe try shopping around

Yes your diced beef alone is £4.15, boneless pork joint around £3, and 4 pork loin steaks are £3.29. So basically you're paying for those and get the sausages and minced beef for free. Even buying using the 3 for £10 deal you've still got to buy the remaining 2 items, therefore spending more than £10.

Just shows how much more expensive morrisons is compared to aldi then

£4.15 for diced beef.. :confused:

morrisons is ma 1st choice all fresh but 2 Isles an so cheap

Youblot whould visit your butchers if you think this is a good idea

I'm not denying Aldi is cheaper, but this post is for those who don't shop at aldi or for who Morrisons is more local for them.

Yeah and thanks for posting it .. Not having a go .. Just pointing out morrisons are about £5 dearer on these 5 items than aldi for when the deal is finished .

Have some heat OP

If anyone can find better prices let them post it and link here

Supermarket butcher meat, just wrong.

Aldi's wonderful prices (approximate)
£2.78 450g minced beef
£2.49 pork loin steaks
£3.10 diced stewing beef
£1.00 approx sausages
Total £9.37 approx
that leaves £0.63 for 800g boneless pork shoulder joint << not going to happen

Must admit my local butcher is awesome and despite quoting aldi , I tend to use local much more .. Dry cure bacon is much cheaper and does venison fillet for about £7 a kg plus keeping a few local lads in a job .

I have just put some on here . Yawn
Care to amend your post with the correct prices .. Bringing it under £10?

deal doesn't do much for me because I'm not into the pork selection, no point buying it if you don't fancy some of the bits

voted hot though for the effort

Its local lads that work in Morrisons, Aldi, Lidl.

This is true but not wholly reliant on selling quality rather than quantity and not as vulnerable plus the local butchers been there a lot longer .. Just try to support local independent guys .. And most stuff is a bit more tbh.

I checked comparable prices with Aldi's webpage

And I used "approximate"

I will amend my prices/comment when you post those or any other deals

She was only a Butcher's daughter but....
there wasn't much more she could loin / her behaviour was truly offal / she knew how to fillet etc...

4 years old article relevance ? :confused:

I dont mind paying a profit but I know what wholesale meat prices are as I know someone in that end of the trade (though we now live 100s miles apart unfortunately) and most of your local butchers are making a fortune. Most of the supermarket meats are just as good as butchers at cheaper prices.

Obviously I can't speak for every store but I work on the butcher's counter at Morrisons and I think we have excellent quality meat. I always buy my meat from there, I look at some of the prepackaged meat other supermarkets are selling sometimes and I'd be ashamed if I'd prepared it.

​Nah, they're mostly from the likes of Poland etc :neutral_face:

Ah that shoulder of pork would go in my slow cooker for pulled pork & the stewing steak would be reduced with Some ale for a steak & ale pie

juicy.

heat.

Hmmmm.... 'mostly' ... do you prepare Donald Trumps news bulletins for him?

Unless you can provide evidence to back that up I'll take it with a skip-full of salt.

Butchers mince from Morrisons typically contains about 5-7% fat... the prices of the Aldi ones you have listed are 20% fat.

The £10 pack is a great deal so thanks for posting :smiley:

Shame me and the missus don't eat meat......

I know you have no influence, but please don't ever stop selling the pork and honey chippolattas! Love them.

Yes threw a double 6.

Yes he got it from a lease deal on this site.

My friends son was a local lad in a Co-op butchery department, learned his trade and now has a successful local butchers shop in Dunstable. So what's your point?

good deal, i have always found the quality of Morrisons butchers to be pretty good. sure it may be cheaper in Aldi but the quality here is better.

Try Lidl then their prices and quality is great, buy when on offer and even cheaper.

Oh wow I never realised this, see there was me thinking that I grew up about 10 mins away from the Morrison's that I now work at. And I never knew all my colleagues were Polish too, I'm gonna have to check all their visas as soon as I finish my break. Granted one of my colleagues is originally from Portugal, that's basically the same place isn't it? He's only been here for 10 years or more though, how dare he come over here and contribute to society.

I'll see what I can do ;-) Is that off our counter or the prepacked ones? We've stopped doing flavoured sausages in my store, we used to have a few interesting ones like sweet chilli or pork and leek but they're all quite plain now

Yeah, I wouldn't eat a butcher that had worked in a supermarket either. Too fatty.

Looks like good deal

Cold...

... so long as it's kept in the fridge or freezer.

more Beef in the comments than in the offer :smiley: heat from me OP .

Wow, good deal. My personal opinion is that you wouldn't be able to get the exact same products from anywhere else.
If I was to shop for this bundle on the cheap, I would estimate that anything below about £15 would be a good buy.
I am tempted to nip over to morrisons, hope it is still on tomorrow.

Can't see it on the website. Is it on everywhere?

Haha sorry but they are a great deal. Got one last night and my pork joint was 950g! Love it.

That's a lie Bugatti don't make an M8.

We've actually been told off for making the packs too big, it's difficult to get the joint exact though so it's better to be a bit over than under. I think they've got the weights on the pack wrong though, if you add it all up it comes to 2.22kg (the 4 loin steaks are meant to be 520g) without the sausages and I weighed up 6 sausages at about 400g today. So they're even better than advertised, u're actually getting around 2.6/2.7kg in total

I need to stop saying how good an offer this is, I'm just making more work for myself, lol

Even more of a bargain then, and all good quality products too! Great to stock up the freezer

His point was going to a supermarket butchery dept meant that the supermarket could keep local lads employed... if everyone in this country only ever used "independent food retailers" there would be a catastrophic rise in unemployment figures.

I agree with this... local butcher in my town has a 5 bedroom detached new-build bungalow right behind me, drives a Merc, etc etc ... he's doing alright it seems.

so I'll just keep popping into Morrisons and ensure that I keep the wee guy behind the counter who is on £XXk a year in his job.

It'd need to be in the millions for me to even consider letting people wee on me for a living.

are these packs made up and on display or do I go to meat section and ask to be made up there and then ?

That's not my experience.

Is this avalible on line i cant find it.

Terrible for your health & cruel to the other animals.
By-product of the holocaust.
Cold. Like your hearts :smiley:

Any details on where the meats were raised and slaughtered?

Thanks

I bet it's not there good stuff, sausages probably fatty and I would like to know the percentage of fat in the mince, bet it's not less than 5%. Not for me thanks.

Morrisons have excellent quality meat unlike most supermarkets, including the so called bargain ones such as Aldi. Just had the boneless pork joint for tea and it was very nice and more than big enough for 3. I will probably have the sausages with the pork chops, so this pack will feed 3 of us for four meals which is just over 80p per person for each meal. Great value and last time I was in Aldi I couldn't get an offer like this. No I don't work in Morrisons just support the supermarket that I can get everything I want in (can't do that in Aldi) and gives me the best value foods for the lowest prices.

Thanks op
great deal :smiley:

They should be already made up on display, however they are a little time consuming to make and will probably sell quickly so you may need to ask if they will (possibly grudgingly, lol) make you one up.


http://www.morrisons-farming.com/how-we-work/woodheads/ has a good load of information by the looks of it. I've actually visited the abbatoir myself and was very impressed with the standards of welfare and hygiene.


The sausages are the "Best" range, the same ones you would buy from the counter or prepacked down the aisle. The mince is made from 95VL trim, which means 95% Visual Lean. It's not exact, but it should be around 5% fat.

Morrisons are a business, there is no business sense in selling packs of meat with the best stock that individually would exceed £10. Hence my skepticism. Before people start with the yes but you will buy other items whilst in there, I would hazard a guess that some people will go in store buy three or four packs of this 'offer' and leave without spending any more on other items.

They come prepacked. My store does about 20 different flavoured ones but the honey are the best sausage I've ever put in my mouth :laughing:
Seriously though, they're great. Managed to get my autistic niece to try them about 18 months ago and they are now one of the few things she will eat. Result

Everywhere is different, I went to a Aldi and every staff member I spoke to was European, I used to live in a area where the first time buyer homes became Polish homes by 2009, its around the corner from a retail park and the majority of the staff in that retail park are Polish and come from that same housing estate around the corner.

Around here the Europeans are doing the factory work, or warehouse work at back of supermarkets.


Be careful, what you said about your niece can be offensive, and I speak as an autistic person you should of said fussy eater as many autistc people don't like to be labelled.

I don't think so it seemed to indicate that they are just local lads and not butcher trained lads, but if the poster comes back and confirms your thinking then OK by me.

Blimey, they must have to get up really early.

The only labels they used were 'autistic' and ' niece'. What were they supposed to say? My fussy eater niece or my autistic fussy eater?

Hmmm, he was replying directly to a post which stated "I tend to use local much more .. Dry cure bacon is much cheaper and does venison fillet for about £7 a kg plus keeping a few local lads in a job" with the comment of "Its local lads that work in Morrisons, Aldi, Lidl."

That seems a pretty direct reference to the fact that 'local' can also mean Aldi, Lidl, etc. have local lads in a job.

At no point did he allude to those local lads not being "butchers"

to me at least :smiley:

That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read on here.

I wonder if "fussy eater" would be ok to write on an Equal Opportunities form for a job, or Disability Benefit... I could maybe claim and say I'm a "fussy chooser of work"

This looks like a good deal so thanks for posting. My local Morrisons at Teeside Retail sometimes display packs of meat (whether beef or pork) with torn clingfilm and it puts me off because I see the meat exposed and wonder what happens to the meat if retrieved back behind the counter. The clingfilm is wrapped too tightly and prone to tearing when picked up.

Pork shoulder is not that price is Aldi at all for that size

Morissons meat is dutty

Been and bought a pack today. Cheers

​Thanks for that.

So someone WITH autism knows less than someone that doesn't? Nice how that works.

Please enlighten me to where I said anywhere that fussy eater is the same, fussy eater is due to a side effect of something like autism but theres many other reasons for it too just as someone with autism may not be a fussy eater.

Wish people would get more educated instead of showing their stupidity and ignorance.

You need to chill, becoming hot headed and rude helps no one.

Great deal, went and got today, thanks : )
Heat added

Pork shoulder at aldi is £2.59 per kg so about £2 for 800gm .. I understand they sell all different size joints but at £2.59 per kg .

Any proof of that ? Since in theory its minced offcuts the fat content could vary wildly . And the fact they don't put a fat content value on it speaks volumes . Why is it not labelled ?

The fact you were wrong bears no relevance then? .

I wasnt rude... I said it was one of the most ridiculous things I've read on here. I stand by that... if the guy's niece is autistic then he can say so... that's his prerogative.

You never got the point, which is the problem with people today the point was it became labelling which people with disabilities or difficulties often dislike as it highlights differences, its not the same as what I heard a few days ago where someone used the word autistic to mean crazy as in " you would have to be autistic to get this violent over the situation"

The other point is theres a fine line, talking about someone having eating issues down to autism makes people think people with autism are a one size fits all.

And yes its hard to word.

So before calling it ridicilous think about the fallout from things,

As someone who IS autistic I think I know things far better than you, so who are you (no offense) to judge?

No, you have missed the point... the poster wrote :-


Then you wrote:-

If the poster had said "my niece is a fussy eater..." then no doubt someone would have come on here and said 'no such thing... get food into them' and then the poster would have to write 'actually no, she autistic' ... blah blah blah.

This is ridiculous.

His/her niece is autistic... fact. She is a fussy eater... fact.
There can be no offense caused by that. It's like saying "my autistic cousin likes these headphones" and then you saying, erm that can be offensive as you should of (sic) said "noise sensitive"

no... the autism makes the person a fussy eater and the person knows they have autism... hence these websites:-

https://www.autismspeaks.org/family-services/health-and-wellness/nutrition/seven-ways-help-picky-eater-autism

etc...........

Point is theres no perfect answer, shame you lack the intelligence to think otherwise and want to argue it says a lot about your personality.

Keyboard warrior.

I mean I never said don't bring up reasons, just the word autistic is the problem.

Ok then, my response is because I am autistic thus you are attacking autism by saying what I am writing is ridiculous, but then you will have a comeback to that too.

Just remember it was you who typed the phrase "should of".

And you conveniently ignore the fact I have this little something called AUTISM, you know the very thing that is being discussed, you just want to dig to find anything to attack since thats all you can do, its people like you these days that will be quick to find something to jump on, and if you were on the recieving end act all innocent.

Calm... but just to check... It's ok for you to say you have AUTISM but not ok for that other poster to say he has an autistic niece??? How does that work?

Oh for gods sake, use your brain not going to explain if you aren't going to make the effort to think about it but I have to think at this point maybe you are trolling as no one can be that stupid.

Does anybody know if this offer is still available?

Although this makes little sense, I have managed to get the gist. Basically you seem very angry about someone calling their autistic niece a fussy eater. Which is factually accurate.

I hate to think what you are posting on the Sesame Street forums now that they have introduced an autistic character. Sorry a 'fussy eating' character.

Which is not what I am saying, I am trying not to feed a troll as surely no one as can be as stupid as you come across.

I am very angry about someone calling their niece autistic, um no I am not so it seems you are more just stupid, I am angry at idiots like you who don't know what they are talking about I mentioned some people don't like being labelled or it brought up did I say ME personally.

No point discussing it as someone with limited intelligence like yours wouldn't understand.

Get over it ryouga, There is nothing in this world that would make me feel the need to pull someone up for saying thar their Autistic niece is a fussy eater, it's factually and in offensively correct, so please put a stop to your trolling and leave the thread by exiting stage left, you person of limited intelligence.

Get stuffed moron.
