Born Hunter 17,809 Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 I feel like buying a grocery box requires a degree of 'togetherness' that I just don't have. It's just more convenient going to the supermarket. Probably more suited to a busy household than me anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So quality counts... Was it supposed to be organic but not nice to eat Joe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe once a month hit Aldi or Asda. During lockdown used to go get farm eggs bread and cakes, it's preorder though, so if I could just swing by and get something be more tempted to use it more often.... Good point on price mate, what would you consider a decent price ? For farm to fork beef the going rate seems to be about €14 a kilo (£7 lb ish) here Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 47,584 Posted September 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 Would organic label matter as much if it was chemical free, naturally reared and you could see where it came from ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
