How much would you pay for this meat order?

[Nuttyaboutnutella]

Having a chat with a friend and she couldn't get over the cost of our recent meat order. It seems perfectly reasonable to me. I use a local butchers who are fab. All the meat is local (they rear their own pork and beef, lamb is farm next door and chickens are also local), and all high-welfare, very high quality, grass fed, free range, etc.

Our recent order consisted of:
3kg of beef mince
1kg of turkey mince
1.5kg of sausage meat/pork mince
8 sausages
14 chicken thighs
2 whole large chickens
20 chicken breasts
A beef joint (topside) to feed 6 people

Just curious how much you would pay for this order? Oh and to add, this is to prepare some meals ready for when our baby arrives next month and the rest will easily see how through for at 2-3 months.

That's about a months worth of meat for us (2 adults, 2 teens, 2 children). I wouldn't pay more than £100. I could probably source individually for less than £70 if I was careful.

£120 was my first thought

£125

£90 - £120

£120 I think though I wouldn’t pay that much.

So how much was it?

It's proportionally a lot of mince. I wouldn't want to do that many mince dishes. No chops, no steaks, no diced lamb/beef.

I'd be quite disappointed with the selection. It's about 90% mince or chicken .

£80-90. I totted up what I'd pay in the supermarket and added a bit more. Wasn't sure about the turkey and sausage meat as I don't buy it.

I would leave meat in the freezer for 2-3 months though, I'm sure you're only supposed to freeze it for a month.

£90

£150

£100 tops

I was thinking £85?

£120-150

£130

Which is what I spent at the butchers yesterday for 2 kg of fillet beef and 4 racks of lamb. They threw in 10 sausages for free. I'm feeding 12 people this weekend. Beef wellington is prepped and in the fridge and the lamb is tomorrow's lunch.

It's expensive hosting Easter! I literally threw money at Waitrose this morning on snacky bits and didn't get much change from £100 what with nuts, olives, naice bread, deli ham & cheese. All the avocado easter eggs were sold out! First world problems I know...

Should have done a BBQ instead - would have been much cheaper.

£150

If it's free range I'd say 120. But with offers I'd say closer to 100?

I would say around £100

Cant believe I'm placemarking to find out the price of meat I wont be eating

£80-£100

From a butcher local grown meat would cost much more to produce than many of you seem to think. Most of your prices would cover the cost of the abattoir let alone raising the animals.

About £120-£130 if all free range and no offers. That’s a LOT of meat though - I wouldn’t have room to store all that.

Bloody hell, how much?! I'm glad we are all veggie. To me it's obscene and I agree with watermelonlove that there's no such thing as ethical meat.

Doesn't seem like that much meat to me.
Once you make a couple of big batches of spag Bol - I use 2 x 750 g packs when I make a batch, and it's gone!!

Its I reckon roughly 30 meals for a 4 person family so maybe 60 meals for 2 (as you say 2-3 months) so if you say 4-5 per meal its should be around 120-150 all told
