Either super low like £4 or crazy high (for Asda) £9

That’s more expensive than my Asda. Got a medium chicken for around £5.

Xmasbaby11 · 23/01/2023 23:02

That’s a lot, more than a large one in Sainsbury’s last time I got one

TheChosenTwo · 23/01/2023 23:02

Depends on whether organic/free range/neither, I’d pay around a tenner for a medium chicken but actually buy bigger ones for around £15. My guess is £10.

TheChosenTwo · 23/01/2023 23:02

Oh, I’m a bit out!

NewBootsAndRanty · 23/01/2023 23:04

Ooh! I was close with the guess but slow at pressing post Grin

Elle54321 · 23/01/2023 23:05

£5 in my asda

I know. Daughter went to Timpsons to get the battery changed on my watch. £24:95 🤔.

Not being funny but when you think of the resources that have gone into breeding, incubating, rearing, feeding, housing and looking after the animal for it's life, slaughtering, butchering it, packing it, and transporting it, £6.68 still seems on the low side to me.

Galarunner · 23/01/2023 23:07

Chicken should be a luxury item , not a basic. If you want to eat chicken it should probably cost £15 if there is any element of welfare. I can't afford that so eat a lot of veggie food for everyday meals. The life of a £3/4/5 chicken is horrendous. The £15 one still makes me feel a bit guilty but most of family want to eat meat and my health is definitely better when I am not completely veggie.

sweeneytoddsrazor · 23/01/2023 23:08

They are £5 in my Asda and £4.50 for the just essentials one

Applesandcarrots · 23/01/2023 23:09

Can housed chicken still be classed as free range? Considering age of chicken at slaughter and requirement to house them in for last x months, I don't think there are any actual free range chickens now?

Onnabugeisha · 23/01/2023 23:10

£3.37 at Waitrose…but people keep on thinking it’s overpriced.

That's crazy. £25 to change a watch battery? I mean, I approve of Timpson's employment practices but...

Just checked online and apparently it'll cost around £80 to change my dad's Longines standard watch battery. (I often wear his watch. I'm going to learn to change my watch battery myself.
