A regular shopper has revealed that they never buy chicken breasts from Aldi or Sainsbury's, insisting that Marks and Spencer offers far superior quality. Despite living close to both supermarkets, they make a special trip to M&S for this one staple item.
The customer, who splits their weekly shop between Aldi and Sainsbury's, found that chicken breasts from the latter two stores consistently disappoint. The meat often looks unappealing and turns out chewy regardless of cooking method, whether boiled, roasted, or fried. Worse still, Sainsbury's chicken has been found to go off before its use-by date, even when the packaging is sealed.
In contrast, M&S skinless chicken breasts, priced at £4.75, are described as consistently fresh and cook perfectly without becoming tough or rubbery. The shopper notes that this quality justifies the higher price, especially since the chicken lasts until its use-by date, reducing waste.
To save money elsewhere, the shopper buys cupboard essentials from Aldi, praising its affordable seasonings at 59p, salt at 69p, and extra virgin olive oil at £5.49. However, for chicken breasts, M&S remains the only choice.
