the poor wee blighter might not have been fed right before being sold to the butcher
I think the person quoting uk prices was using lbs rather than kg's !

no they are often on special half price or less.or buy one get one free BOGOF.in sainsburys too .not unusual to even buy leg of lamb for five pounds! 12years Dh llived there.only ibn nz we pay top dollar for not as good quality food. Miss the anchor cheese and butter too.Again heaps cheaper in the UK.

No, I wasn't.I was there a couple of years ago myself and it was definitely 3.99 kg (that was pounds sterling per kilo).

And there was a program on tv late the other night (it was a couple of years old) about chickens, and they were selling whole chickens in the UK for 1.99 pounds sterling.It's been many years since you could buy a whole chicken here for that price.

Chickens are very cheap in the UK, lots of competition and it is often used as a loss leader.Lamb is quite expensive, I have never seen it at GBP3.99 for years, it is usually more expensive than pork and beef.I return twice a year and in March/April Lamb in Tesco was about 12.50GBP per kilo for a joint.
