Farmers battling a significant slump in sheep prices say supermarkets are ripping off consumers, as Woolworths announces it will cut its lamb prices by 20 per cent.
Friendly reminder that if you have a butcher nearby, you should give them a go instead. Their prices are usually on par with colesworth (although sometimes they can be a little bit more expensive since they can’t really afford to cut their prices to keep up with competition). Also especially if they’re a little independent one, you can be fairly confident your money goes to a good place rather than giving colesworth more money to add to their billions in profits
Also, since they sell meat and very little else, they naturally have a much larger range including heaps of more niche things, and quality is usually better in certain things than the supermarkets. Plus you can buy yourself a fresh Kiev, rather than that processed bullshit you get at supermarkets!
Most small butchers have better quality cuts of meat and sausages than at the Colesworth meat departments, plus they’ve decided to cut costs with packaging, so make sure you check every part of the plastic tubs of chicken, because they can break just by the air moving past them.
Edit: Also, a few of the meat groups have their own shops where you can go and get some good cuts of meat and support the farmers whilst cutting the big ones out.
