Butcher V Supermarket

I always buy meat from a butcher, although my local one closed down years ago,
We have a local supermarket whose meat is bred and slaughtered locally too,so do sometimes buy from there
I wont buy from supermarkets,like Sainsburys etc, also, because these days a lot is Halal, most supermarkets buy in Halal now
I dont eat a lot of meat anyway, and wish i could give it up due to animal welfare concerns

I sometimes buy meat from the supermarket but prefer to buy from the butcher. We go to a wholesale butchers. He supplies many of the local shops, and is really good.

I once bought meat from a supermarket when on holiday. Never again. Always buy from a good quality butcher, who sells local produce. Can't go wrong.

Buy mine from local butcher,really good quality and if I spend over £20 I get a fiver off. I find their chicken miles better than any supermarket and all their meat and poultry is free rang

All my meat, except chicken, is bought direct from local farms. I buy my chicken, we do not eat a lot, from Waitrose as it is the only supplier of organic chicken I trust.

I try as far as possible to buy only organic or close to organic meat for animal welfare reasons. It is expensive but I make it go further. We prefer casseroles and stews to large chunks of meat, which means cheaper cuts and I add lots of vegetables or beans and lentils so that 1lb of meat will feed eight people.

Our butcher closed down and I miss him. I agree about the taste and I really like the idea of buying what I needed. Our farm shops don't seem to be well advertised; you've made me think I should do another search so thanks for the reminder!!

I use our local butcher too,its a huge difference in quality from the supermarket .We have two butchers in our small town both sell locally sourced meat and will trim it to suit what you want it for .

We buy from local Farm shops as and when we can and quality butcher's on the high streets ,there are some poor butcher's too,you have to find the good ones.
Yes the taste is so much better than supermarket meat and the price is maybe slightly higher sometimes but you can get cheaper cuts too but far better quality. We find the price of our favourite ribeye steaks far cheaper at butcher's .
