    Thats why I prefer to buy groceries online, find it much easier to keep to a budget. It's easy to miss the Philippines supermarkets like Robinsons where you can buy all the fruit, veg and meat in the exact quantities that you want over counters at good prices, unlike the prepacked expensive stuff here. It's better when Marvie goes to the market.

    That's why I bought a tray of 24 fresh large chicken breasts for only £18 from Smithfields meat market in London.

    Fresh water ... sorry but thats not what they use...."Some of the processing companies also used beef and pork proteins to hold in the water."
    "Manufacturers have also been criticised for adding hydrolysed chicken protein, which is extracted from parts of the bird not used for food, such as skin, bone, and feathers. "
    Mmmmmm tasty

    Supermarkets here sell fruit, veg and meat in the exact quantities you want as well, you don't have to buy the pre-packed stuf. Though to choose exactly the things you want you do need to go into the supermarkets...
