£1.50 for about 10/12, tried these for the first time last night and thought they would not be very good tbh but wow got a surprise. Very nice, well worth the money and will be getting some more for sure.

I really like quite a few of the Farm Foods LA Diner chicken bits and Harry Ramsden's cheaper equivalent.

I have struggled to buy Birds Eye chicken chargrills any where other than Farm Foods.

We also get vouchers with 10% off after a certain amount spend.

FFs also good for frozen raw shelled king prawns (£12 for 2 large bags (800g?)), although the price has crept up a lot over the last couple of years. But, if you like curries/chinese/thai, then these are a bargain.

Also, I think one of their own labelled gammon joints - with a maple syrup glaze? - can't remember, but incredible value for around £4 and lovely.

I would admit to being a bit of a food snob, but there's a couple of decent things in Farmfoods.

(I just wish they'd repeat the frozen thai dishes that they had about 3-4 years ago - really authentic thai style for 50p each)

Farmfoods half roast duck, hosin sauce and pancakes for 2.95 is really tasty, its at least 5 or 6 quid in other supermarkets and nearly 14 from my Chinese. Often if I order a Chinese I will cook one of these with it, to lower cost. I just chop up my own cucumber and spring onions.

Just bought one of these today and might try it tonight. They are £3.95 now but our shop has a special on at the mo with £1 off. The LA Diner Onion Rings are really nice for £1, not tried the pizzas yet or the Piri Piri Chicken Thighs but they are next on my list.

Sorry, and I do mean sorry. Why are you eating this crap that promotes bad welfare to animals.

This stuff must be the lowest form of chicken you can buy, imported and stuffed with seasonings to make it taste good.

Seriously, I feel like crying.

Cost I guess. When you eat as much meat as I do, cost plays an important factor.

The exit doors?

If you were going to cry just cos i was trying a bit of duck for the first time you have problems. Just out of interest it was quite good as a one off, good value at about 1/5 of what my local Chinese would cost.

I like good quality food but get off your soap box. If you can afford to buy free range organic everything then good luck to you however, you should be mindful that not everyone can

Tesco sell eight hot and spicy fresh cooked wings for £1 but this sounds a better deal

I bought one of these and I thought it was great but the OH will only buy milk from Farmfoods.

If you are re-defining problems as issues then I have issues. I did not respond to duck, i was responding to chickens. Anyway, if your local Chinese sells half a duck for £20.00, you should buy a duck and do it yourself.


Today I bought:



2 bone in chicken breasts- £3
2 Braising steaks, total of 800 grams - £4
1 beef skirt, half a pound - £3.5
1 sirloin steak with the full fat edge, very thick 800 grams - £6
3 duck legs - £4.50

That is 2.5 weeks food.

All bought from a farm that does all this meat, you can even look around if you want to, all organic and free range.

They do not have to transport the meat and do not have to pay for packaging, therefore prices are cheaper than supermarkets.

All prices quoted are rounded up, not down.

ive heard a few people say these are nice im going to buy them tomorrow .. to the replies about them yes they may not be the best quality but for the money and to eat while watchin a dvd with the kids they will do us nicely

Oh dear, don't cry.

Britain, the envy of the world with our eating habits and the most obese country in Europe. Get all the cheapest low grade shit into your stomachs while you can. Yum

Sorry but I doubt you paid £3 for 2 organic, free range chicken breasts unless they were the size of a chicken goujon.

I buy most of my meat directly from a butcher and it costs more than £3 for 2 chicken breasts.

I agree entirely.

Farm foods. More like "Farmyard" foods.

I often find those that cannot afford decent food can still have other luxuries they do not need.

It need not be as expensive as you think.

That's not very much for 2 and a half weeks?! I take it this is just for one person and you'll stretch some of the stuff out quite sparingly?

Farmfoods imo is a lot better than Iceland for food because they seem to do quite a lot of just "Chicken coated in a sauce" and less of the fully flung together ready meals, like Tikka lasagne.

I enjoy the LA diner chicken bites, they are actually made of chopped pieces of chicken, not like processed nuggets, and for things like juice, crisps and sweets and even heinz beans and other tinned goods, they are massively cheaper, consistently, than the main supermarkets.

Tikka lasagne? Mmm sounds lovely & those "non-processed" nuggets too. The mind boggles

I lied then. I dont't lie. One or two things though. Does your butcher raise their own chickens, do they portion and package them in their own shop?

There are these things called vegetables, you can add them to meals and even use them for a whole meal if you have the imagination.

I was going to say 3 quid for 2 breasts was quite expensive, a 1.4kg whole chicken is 3 quid from the local market.
