    You can't beat a good food bank.

    True, can't wait until my wife goes out so I can indulge.

    Boring question alert - Where do people buy their turkey's from?

    My sister wants us to buy an Appledore turkey which will work out at 116 from where I would get it.

    I normally just get a M&S one.

    I want opinions on: Tesco's finest turkey.

    Has anyone use Pickette's on Pickford lane for their turkey? He said they use Partridge Farm.

    I know Dennis the Butcher will be in the region above as will the Blackheath Standard.

    Any local opinions much appreciated along with the Tesco's finest too.

    My mate is getting hers from Aldi for 12 quid I think.

    Dunno if I'm missing something, but their online prices are either £71 or £81

    Couldn't imagine spending that sort of money on a turkey, but each to their own

    Yes that's if you go to them and collect. One local stockists charging the price I quoted at 14.50 per kilo.

    I'm not planning to spend that on a turkey.

    I don't want to turn it in to a thread about the haves and have nots as some people would be quite happy to pay that.

    I just wanted some opinions on where people get theirs locally and/or what supermarkets.

    Thanks Guinness.

    I've been working at Sainsbury's, Hempstead Valley for 26 years #jutsaying

    Weirdly, one of the things I miss most from 'home' is Sainsbury's. Supermarkets out here have improved even in the 5 years I've been here, but they're still a way behind what the UK big boys offer in terms of choice and variety. Jamie Oliver stuff has started appearing in Sobeys and Safeway though so the poncification of the humblke microwave meal is underway in Alberta.

    Tend to go Co-Op for veg and staples, CostCo for meat and bulk items and then fill in with bits and pieces during the week from Safeway as it's closest to my house. We tend to be after stuff you can't get at every supermarket though (back bacon for example) so we tend to have shop around a bit.

    With AFKA in that I quite enjoy it sometimes.

    We tend to do the majority in Adli and then Tesco for a few bits the Mrs is too fussy about.

    Aldi quality matches Tesco etc as far am I'm concerned and much better value. They take cc these day too which is a bonus. Only ball ache is the tiny but busy Car park.

    Going back a couple of years it was largely Eastern European customers, now all the suits use it too.

    A lot of people are now casually and easily robbing from stores like tescos and sainsburys these days. They don't even try to do it discreetly as they just get away with it.

    Quite sad to see. They have no chance of getting caught and will keep doing it.

    Sums up the state of our police/laws and more importantly what has become of our society.  It has to currently be over £110 for the police to attend, but the loses are covered in the prices the rest of us pay.

    I feel sorry for the staff especially in the smaller stores. Trying to do their job, knowing there is a good chance of being abused or even assaulted.
    It is not right.

    The British public will continue to pay more and more for.... less and less.
