I don't buy value (false economy I reckon), I always buy free range eggs and I always buy British. Beyond that, I'll eat it all

A lot of interesting discussion here. I do make an effort to consider animal welfare, food miles and supporting local farmers when I shop but I can't say I never buy other ranges if these aren't available and when I buy prepared food such as sandwiches, salads or eating out as I personally would find it too restrictive.

One conscious decision I have made this year is to eat less meat - pros: less labour intensive production, good selection of healthy pulses etc., cheaper - and then when I do eat meat I can allocate a larger budget to the good stuff - pros: tastier and better conscience.

Worth a gander if you're around, you might be surprised by what you can get.

Thanks - I do like their Oakham chicken and the thighs are great for curries, casseroles etc. I agree they are doing some good deals lately.

I have where ever possible always bought organic or free range where possible.

Being honest originally it was purely for flavour and quality purposes.

I now appreciate the welfare side more, I really don't want to eat a chicken that has spent the whole of its 39 days of life standing in its own excrement.
