I recently banned supermarket meat from our house (Asda is the worst), tasteless watered down crap, full of fatty chunks...regardless of what you buy.
We started going to the butchers for our meat on a weekly basis......bloody awesome! A little bit dearer but the quality is superb, plus once you go a few times your butcher gets to know you and 'you get a bit extra' for your money. It pays to be cheeky with them, ask if they have any deals that week....!! We got 22 massive chicken breasts for £28, froze them and it lasted most of the month!!
I watched a documentary a while back, stated approx 100 butchers are shutting up shop every week due to supermarkets.....I can't rate them highly enough (and no I'm not one touting for business, haha)!'"
We started buying our meat from Westin Gourmet ([urlhttp://www.westingourmet.co.uk/[/url) after my missus won a competition with them through BBC good food. The quality of the meat is superb (chicken that actually tastes of something) and actually works out cheaper than the supermarket.
We just buy the meat and cut it up and freeze it. I had great fun hacking up a 5KG sirloin loin in the kitchen.
