forest of dean redneck 11,597 Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Our local used to bag bones up sell as a bag,but when we were going in twice a week buying meat they would let us have them for nothing,but scraps out bin were free. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NatAlexander 6 Posted August 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Oh! Fair enough haha Where are you getting your mince from squab? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squeamish5 309 Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Sounds a bit steep. Mine sells bags approx 2lb-kilo for £1.50. I know coupla people get it in bulk from them get it cheaper. Advantage to me is that it's varied meats/bone including organ meat, so good part of a balanced diet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Currently buying the mixed blocks from countrywide and it's costing me arm and leg!! about £2/kg,thats expensive.you can but 1.5 kg of chicken wings for £2 in tesco. find a slaughterhouse and ask for hearts(muscle),any offal,sheep heads and tripe,it'll be much cheaper.be reliable and over time you could pick it up for nothing.
