WHAT'S THE STORY WITH BUYING MEAT ON THE CHEAP?:IT SCARCELY MATTERS from what angle it’s viewed, the phrase “cheap meat” is not one that ever conjures up pleasant images. Sausages laden with eyelids and testicles scraped from the bottom of the abattoir barrel, chicken breasts beefed up with additives and salty water which seep onto your plate as you eat it and bacon which boils when it’s fried are all budget cuts too far for many people.

The taste and texture of bargain-basement meat is frequently vile and its nutritional value is also open to question but, in these lean times, with people looking for ways to live on less, the demand for better value rather than cheap meat is increasing.
