Anyone who isn't interested in value for money either has too much money or not enough sense and has absolutely nothing to do with being a miser.
Don't confuse value for money with cheap.

Presumably BG will be factoring in the £8.56 in petrol it'll cost him to get there and back. Won't you [MENTION=451]BensGrandad[/MENTION] ?

Consider me floored, I'd always assumed BG was a vegan from his posts.
I think we couldn't TOP this thread any better.
Surely this is a case of BG getting the most from his free bus pass?

"meat in general" is a tad vague - you can't be general on a comparison, compare ones fillet with the other's brisket and the fillet will win on quality but never on price. Now, if you compare fillet with fillet, or brisket with brisket, then apples with apples is comparable and the price then becomes a consideration when buying.
Suggest, buy one fillet steak from each and cook in the same pan to your liking - cut both in half, and then eat 2 halves [the missus can have the other two halves, if not the mutt] - you'll then know your OWN TASTE - and it'll be a "game of two halves". Is there a chance they both came from the same abattoir?
As the saying goes, "One man's meat is another man's poison"
Suck it and see - as the old 'uns say ....
You may prefer something that others don't ....

Considering the amount of time taken travelling, he will ensure he has an insulated bag whilst travelling on hot buses.

No, I have a bus pass and time costs me nothing.

Most modern buses are air conditioned if only the idiots on them dont open the windows. thinking that will reduce the temperature.

Why oh why oh why?
Is money so tight, and your life so empty, that you'd rather sit on a bus all the way to Hangleton and back (2 hours each way?
) than buy meat from Waitrose, Middletons or Cottenham's?

I would never use any of those 3 or the new one in the Orchards s all too expensive but by going to wherever on the bus gets me out of the house for a few hours.

I know but it doesn't reduce the temperature a great deal. I wouldn't want to take shopping home on them especially in summer.

I hear ya BG. There's this retired chap I see on the bus on occasion who spends several hours most days doing the routes. His wife passed away a while back and this is his main way of getting out and getting some distraction and social interaction. I try not to catch his eye these days though after he bored the living shit out of me all the way from Churchill Square to Upper Beeding one time. If you are one and the same person, sorry.

If the windows are all kept shut it brings the temperature down to whatever it is set at and the same goes for shops that have air conditioning but the staff leave the front door open. If you have been to Florida you will be aware of how effective air conditioning is if used properly.
