A start of a new cheaper Morrisons!
In partnership with Morrisons, who last week announced some exciting changes to their pricing and brand, we were invited to the Bank Holiday family meals challenge. The challenge being, we do a normal family shop, and experience the new price cuts.
Morrisons price cuts - Morrisons have cut thousands of prices on products throughout the store. These are not temporary cuts or flash promotions, they are permanent price cuts! Bringing you low prices on everyday items.
We normally shop in another brand supermarket however we do pop to Morrisons now and then for a 'basket' shop, but we have never done a full shop like we did on this challenge! We were pleased with the overall experience, and the overall cost.
So for the Bank holiday weekend challenge we decided to have a family BBQ - well it was meant to be nice weather, so we thought 'why not' - perfect excuse for the first BBQ of the year. We pulled the BBQ out, cleaned it, and popped off to Morrisons for our shop. Throughout the supermarket they had lots of POS and labels highlighting all the new cheaper prices, it made our shopping experience must more positive. Once we had everything we headed home and I started on the dishes:
- Courgette 55p
- Yellow courgette - never added one of these before, but I spotted it in Morrisons and couldn't resist. £1.06
- Peppers £1.59
- Red Onion 49p
- Mushrooms 89p
- Baby Potatoes 76p
Cost £5.34 - for 7 adults costing 76p each.
- 1 pack of baby potatoes 76p
- Half a bunch of spring onions - but I use the green part only 24.5p
- Salt & Pepper
- Half a jar of Morrisions Light mayonnaise - 45p
Cost £1.46 - for 7 adults costing 21p each.
- 1 Red onion - Morrisons 49p
- 1 Red cabbage - they didn't have any in my Morrisons unfortunately, but I had some in the fridge already (from another supermarket). 49p
- Pine nuts (half a pack) - £1.35
- Salt & Pepper
- Half a jar of Morrisions Light mayonnaise - 45p
Chop the Cabbage, chop the onion, mix together, chuck in the pine nuts, season with salt and pepper - and then mix it all together with some Light Mayonnaise
Cost £2.78 - for 7 adults costing 40p each - however there was 1/3 leftover, which I enjoyed for a few lunches throughout the following week - Yummy.
From BBQ to the table:
Then the meat - my husband was really pleased with the quality of the meat (so was I) he mentioned how the burgers didn't shrink, and the sausages didn't split - the quality and taste was great.
For 7 adults, and 4 children:
- Minty lamb ribs £2.01
- Chinese steaks £2.99
- 3x Burgers £12
- 2xSausage £6.38
- Beef shish kebabs £4
Total meat - £27.38 - for 7 adults + 4 children costing £2.49 each - there was plenty of meat for all of us, in fact we had some left over and Paul's mom took home a doggy bag.
A great day, and a great experience - I couldn't recommend Morrison highly enough. Hubby announced we will be shopping in Morrisons for our meat from now on, not only was the quality great, but the price was to!
When you next visit Morrisons, look out for the yellow markers/stickers - If it says I’m cheaper you know it’s staying cheaper.
