I’m not normally one to whine about rising prices but how they justify near 7 quid for 2 small chicken fillets?

  1. It’s a SPAR store, so the convenience comes at a cost. Additionally, the chicken is cooked, which adds an extra charge from Moy for the preparation.

  2. Lidl do a big frozen bag for 4.50 or 5 get 6 good size fillets

  3. You are in a Spar. Convenience stores always have higher prices. Pretty much everything in there is marked up unless on a “deal” which is what the price is in a regular supermarket.

    You really can’t complain about the price of a convenience item, in a convenience store. This is coming from someone who needs quite a few convenience items as a result of disability – not just ease.

  4. Gym bro’s food. They’ll pay cos it’s “PURE PROTEIN” m8

  6. Your buying a convenience food item (cooked, could’ve been sliced for you as well, or sliced and put in a sandwich, but that would be more expensive again), in a convenience shop. So you are paying the price for that convenience – what are you expecting here?

  7. 2 raw fillets in a spar would cost you about £3. That’s a hefty mark up for cooked ones.

  8. thats precooked. its convienience food and its branded. Its always gonna make it more expensive!

    im not defending the price, but if you consider the price for raw chicken fillets .. its in the ball park.

    If you have the time cooking a small chicken is far more economical.

  11. I wouldn’t buy moy park anyway aren’t they the ones that deprived chickens of water and stuff and have repeated very poor welfare allegations

  13. Get yourself down the local butchers. The meat packs that most of them do are fantastic value.

  14. Wait till you see the mince prices. Spagboll isn’t the cheap and chearful student dish it once was. Lol

  15. Id pick these up from time to time if I got caught out with no food if out and about, 2 years ago they were £3.50.

  16. Moy Park not a fan really, that said there’s worse.

    I made the mistake of buying co-op Goujins last week and nearly threw up I guess the Sainsburys ones I tried before spoiled me into thinking they would be decent.

  17. Our butcher does five breasts for £7 better going to your butcher…

  18. Their shareholders got paid tasty dividends in the USA recently. We get expensive fillets and shite for water in Lough Neagh.

    A great wee cuntry.

  19. These were 2.99 about 5 years ago, they are closer to 7 quid in Long’s Supervalu

  23. Spar have started just upping their own prices to whatever they feel like on whatever day.

    Price of Freddos are now 62p. There was outrage when it went from 10p to 15p. Not a peep because whos actually going to stop them?

  24. A full cooked chicken is £5.60 in my local butchers

  26. You’re in a spar. 1kg of chicken thighs for around 2.50 in Lidl. You’ll make multiple meals out of that. 

    People complain about these prices but won’t do a basic google to see if there’s a cheaper price?

  27. I’ve found the butchers to be a lot cheaper now and better quality compared to supermarkets. Today just to say I got 4 burgers, 1/2 kg of lean mince, 4 chicken kebabs and 2 stuffed chickens for 28£

  28. Moy park has plenty of additives in ti too, I’m noticing even fillets I cook from the butchers are full of water these days

  29. Spar prices are absolutely mental, beyond the odd offer or 12 deals of Christmas. I think most of them are a front like Turkish barbers or vape shops, just a bit more legal looking haha

  30. Mate get yourself to Lidl asap

    It’s like 6 quid for a kilo

  32. If your near a MoyPark plant, they have a factory shop that is cheap as fuck. There’s one near work, I got 2 packs of Tesco Finest Kiev’s, 2 packs of cooked BBQ slices breast, 2 packs of Waitrose chicken breasts in breadcrumbs and 3 packs of Denny 8 sausages for £11.

  37. It’s not even chicken to begin with 😂🙄 and at £6.69 it’s still scraping the barrel for two fillets of pure filth. How many weeks did that chicken get to live from egg to plate? Did it ever get to see daylight? Could it even walk or were it’s bones as soft as cardboard? How many antibiotics and growth hormones was it fed in the short window of time it lived? Was it happy, did it have a good life before it ended up on the shop shelf? Just saying. Best to buy organic slow growing broiler chickens for regular consumption, and/or you can’t beat a 4 year old organic egg laying chicken or a spent egg laying chicken which is slow cooked or stewed. The chicken had a happier life, and I feel happier eating it knowing that. Whats more you can’t put a price on healthy food.
