Haven't they just halved the value of clubcard points? Obviously, I'm not trying to piss on yer chips here, I don't collect them, but someone at work said thay had.

Around £70 a week in Tesco for two adults.

Unfortunately we can never be bothered to do it, so it's easy for us to whizz around Tesco where we know where everything is.

We have also used our clubcard points to good advantage and will be doing so once the little one arrives.

Nestle do good baby milk stuff.

Bish said so.

Does it taste different? In the case of chicken, without a shadow of a doubt. In the case of salmon - organic as opposed to farmed - I reckon so but less clear. In the case of eggs - I was shocked to see (on here) the amount of fraud going on so I don't know if it's possible to make a judgement with security.

it is possible to make such a judgement with security. I fished an egg out of my chicken coop this very morning - it isn't intensively farmed - I boiled it and it tasted 1357 times better than the horrid iceland bulk-buy caged-hen boiled egg that my M-i-L dared to offer me last easter....

some of that is simply down to freshness, BUT - when I have a glut of eggs - then the backlog - sometimes a couple of weeks old - STILL taste 1328 times as good.

I so agree - on the occasions I've had eggs straight from the coop I have absolutely loved them... but this is a rare opp... But I know you understand my point all the same...

Most poisons don't taste of anything.

I take it I don't need to add much more, other than I don't give a f*ck about the chickens, but I do give a f*ck about me. And what I eat becomes me.

Do non-free range chickens contain poison?

In short, yes.

Can you explain for the clueless?

Not necessarily. It's just a badge. Same as 'organic' stamped all over things. Top end stuff may be, but generally it's joined the big con.

Oh, ..... AND, in this case, it means that some perfectly happy chicken, going about it's business, wondering about where to go next weekend, what would be nice to do for next years holiday and whether to move hen-house to that nice detached one by the park is suddenly taken off, murdered and served out.

Whereas the miserable little beggars cooped up and unhappy would be only too pleased to give it all up.

Seems contradictory to me.

So are you saying Bobo, that you would prefer your life to be utter crap? you'd rather be starving in Africa or sat in a padded cell your entire life cos actually then death won't seem so bad as it would if you had a lovely, enjoyable life?! :conf:

I bet i know what option, good life or bad life you would choose. Maybe chickens would choose the same? Except they don't have the choice.

Suffering is never good, especially when its avoidable. Whether it be human or animal.

Well, tbh, I don't plan on being anyone's Sunday lunch.

If your bill's been more than £40 per week, for the six weeks pre Christmas, you get £25 off your Christmas week bill at Morrisons. That's worth having surely?

One of the many aspects of this is on BBC1 now. Its a multi-faceted thing which would be very hard to put in a single, short, reply.

Sadly I missed that... is it to do with the chemicals they have to use to kill diseases etc?

There must be a headline version you can give us!

Anybody who struggles with the concept that writing implements are not food is not going to understand the subtleties in the arguments about poisons within non-free-range food no matter how simple the headlines.

Our shop is around £100-£130 for 2 adults and 2 cats. We only buy free range chicken and eggs and try to buy higher welfare products as much as possible. Our regul;ar shop also usually includes a bulk purchase of some meat or other. I make my own sausages/bacon and mince etc. So, usually buy a load at once and freeze.

The cats probably eat better than most too, so contribute a fair bit to the bill...
