Where do you buy your meat

Do you support your local butcher or buy from the supermarket

Support your local butcher

Both really. We have a butcher opposite us who's good but a tad expensive for normal stuff.

we buy from the Butcher once a month , but quite often go down the supermarket when supplies dwindle

i try to support our local butcher as i think his stuff is better than the supermarkets however price plays its part

Now, I find my local butcher competitive, if not a bit cheaper sometimes than my local supermarket :woot:

well, the nearest supermarket is 7 miles away, the butcher is 2 miles away.... wins on travel cost if heading that way anyway.

But then, buying off the producer is cheaper and they are just as near. Guess I'm fortunate!!!

I don't have to think about where the gelling agent in most jam is or where it comes from. Or why some ice cream is yellow. Or how old the salad is cos the gas packed in it is keeping it fresh.

Cheap food is cheap for a reason.

There are no butchers where I live but when we lived in London, we bought from both.

local all the time...meat, fish and veg...usually cheaper, better tasting, lasts longer and no dim witted check out nerds to deal with....

I wish we still had a decent local butcher! The supermarket is the most local so maybe I should vote both!

We do sometimes get stocked up from Bury's meat & fish market but mostly it is the supermarket I'm sad to admit.

Both for me. the supermarket is cheaper, but the butcher has more variety and the meat is usually local. Unlike the chicken in the supermarket that comes from Poland.

I find that my butcher is cheaper and have better quality cuts. I also get what I want. I can order aged steak and collect it after 2 weeks and know it is done the correct way. They have more to lose than a supermarket, so I will always go back

My mate is a butcher Free lamb and mint burgers! Oh an summber BBQs round his house!!!!! Yum Yum!

Free food for us all round!!!!

Mostly Butcher or farm I do occasionally buy wholesale from Costco the meat in there is quite good

If you saw the fingernails and smelled the breath of our local butcher you'd be buying from the supermarket too.

He comes into the bookies, stinking of booze and smoke, his fingers stained yellow, slurring as he passes his bet over,
"Sssssstick it on hin"

Urgh, he makes me sick to my stomach horrid horrid man

Other for me

My locally owned small grocery store has it's own bu
