Although FR turkey can sometimes be found in the supermarkets and at a cheaper price. We picked 2 * 500g packs of sliced breast (fine for Fajitas and stirfry) for about £3-4 per pack. Am not impressed with Tesco and their stocking issues however. Their comment was something along the lines of 'we supply what our customers want', well they're not really are they?!

Because I only buy thighs (I would only waste half of it if I bought a whole chicken) it only works out to be 70p more expensive max - not a bad deal to take the weight off my conscience. ;) About the sold out thing - my Tesco has signs up saying that due to the C4 documentaries, they can't keep up with the demand of free range but will be making efforts to get stock up for March. MARCH?! That's bloody weeks away! Oh well, might just have to go without occasionally for a while :( I’ve started buying free range since the program, whenever I can get hold of it.
