Meat and Chicken Specials around SA

So I bought 5kg of chicken from that macj. What a load of shit, it's all slimy rainbow chicken I gave half of it to my dogs.
But I found a butchers in Benoni(Paizes butchery) northmead and they sell the most delicious chicken breasts ever they sell it in 7.5kg packs for R55 a kg not the cheapest but worth every penny.
They also sell nice leant topside mince.

For all the eastrand guys, atlasmall/the sqaure/witfield/westwood and palms spar have there chicken fillets on special for R 38/kg from 27 aug to 1 sept.

Does anyone know of a place in Cape Town Northern Suburbs with some good meat deals?

Cape Town never gets these good deals ha ha

:lol: maybe i need to buy a truck load and bring you capetonians some cheap chicken.

Checkers and pick n pay often have chicken specials on chicken breast. Pull off the skin and take the bone out... Little bit of extra work than say clean breast, but much cheaper. More money in your pocket for a dbols cycle

Due to a mass slaughter on 24 August, Blue Bull steak in Pretoria now cost R20-00 per kg.

What a rip off. I wouldn't pay that :lol:

What about fish?

I've been buying angel fish fillets at R15/kg for a while now. Walked into PnP today and they are now R15/200gr......... Not sure how that happened, season wouldn't slaughter the price that dramatically.

I have been buying Chicken, fish and steak from the same place for almost 2 years now, I struck a deal that I would only buy from this butcher and he would always give me the prices he charges the restuarants he supplies, chicken breasts R35/kg those brazillian tasty ones Fillet like R99/kg

Ye those Brazilian ones are the ones I got, they come in a 7.5kg blue pack? There delicious and they don't shrink and leak a whole lot of water

My latest favourite protein staple is Woolies Lean Ostrich burghers.
Easy to make , versatile , taste great , low fat , and apparently ostrich has a higher protein bioavailabilty than chicken..
But Im afraid thats my 5c for Cape Town.... , seems we are definately the most expensive city to live in... not many killer deals going down here..

The deals we do seem to get aren't even proper deals in CPT :blink: . I was working for 6 weeks up in the deep dark North and the meat prices were heaven to me.

Dont think we have the population figures to support proper big wholesale businesses.
Seems that way at least.

One thing I have noticed is the normal mince special down here is R59/kg across the board at PnP, woolies and Spar, it runs for a week then off for a week, then it comes back at R69/kg for the same special a week later haha

I really struggle to get to low body fat when I eat a lot of mince, and that's the extra lean mince. If I stick with chicken breasts and lean trimmed steak I can easily drop a few %. You were saying something a while ago about struggling to lose body fat so I thought I'd throw that in there in case. I reckon there's more fat in a lot of the mince we buy than there should be. Plus red meat spikes your insulin much higher than chicken and fish does.

I came to the same conclusion, haven't had mince in months. Only fish, chicken, eggs and steak.

This weeks special is bulk pork packs so I doubt anyone will be interested.

Hey Gents I no it's been a while but the specials lately have been either chicken flatties or pork.
