19p for veg in Tesco and Sainsbury 18:24 - Dec 21 with 4825 viewsgtsb1966

Begs the question are they doing it as a loss leader or screwing the farmers again. Saw a (non gammon) gammon joint today in sainsbury but at £7 for something the size of my fist I gave it a miss. Why is veggie food so expensive. I do eat chicken so not veggie.

You know what, people should own their opinions but I can't be bothered so I've changed it.

I do like how you play the innocent one though, you spend most your time on here trying to provoke posters you don't like so you can try and get them banned.

I am very wary of chicken, given that the stuff you buy in supermarkets is just under 5 weeks old. Up there with famed salmon in the 'dodgy' foods stuff.

I have a cousin who lives up bandit country (norfolk) and tells of gullible who tip up at weekends beieving the stuff is locally produced ie a field nearby. The other customers are those retired up there of a similar level of ignorance. He says you can tell by the soil of some of it that it comes from the fens, and carrots with the tops on via the airport, from Holland.

Supposedly the jams, chutneys etc a made by the farmers wife in her kitchen, as are the various pies, flans etc

Much the same as the meat, which is slaughtered in norwich butchered then , then sorted and returned to each farm - or maybe the shop gets sent what it needs irrespective of where the animal came from.

This is nothing new, and in these cases merely plays upon the stupidity of a certain type of fool. I expect the shop will one day sell coconuts from the trees in the nearby farm, and banans of which that part of norfolk has huge plantations.....just don't ask to see them



If you saw some of the ingredients I used to deliver to bakeries Harry you would never eat bread and cakes again. Like you say people think things are homemade because it says it on the label but theyre not.

Veg is pretty cheap in this country. It's a lot more expensive in places like the US.

Edit: For the clarity of other users, my original post was around cheap labour and immigration. Subjects close to the opening posters heart.

You should've left it. Wouldn't have bothered me. It's Christmas so cheer up but I expect you're more like this ....

Are we really going to have another day of people needlessly sniping at one another? Is very tedious.

Veggie food is dirt cheap. Maybe not the ‘branded’ tat which is aimed at middle class poseurs - but veg, pulses , etc are cheap as chips.

Supermarkets always do Xmas promotions - this year they have even more money to lure the gullible as they’re ripping everyone off at the petrol pumps and making huge profits

No, I can't, as I'm severely allergic to brussel sprouts, cauliflower, swedes and turnips (all members of the cabbage family).

Celariacs & parsnips won't grow in my soil.

I do grow artichokes (both kinds) at other times of year, but they won't grow here in December.

Beans, chickpeas, lentils etc are all dirt cheap and are the original veggie foods.


Processing and labour is not, so anything 'produced' as a finished article is likely to be pricey.

I also suspect as demand changes so will pricing

the 19p veg is clearly a loss leader. They have contracts in place for a certain price per kg or whatever and I doubt they change it for a few weeks.
