I'm not sure what you're buying or where, but I've just had a look at Tesco and thought it was more expensive.
We got some diced beef the other day to make some mince and it was €5.99 Kg, Tesco have it at £8.75 Kg
We got pork shoulder and belly for sausages at around €4 -€6 Kg, in Tesco it costs £4 - £6 Kg
They do a decent chicken in Carrefour for under €5 and we get two meals plus stock from one, in Tesco it would cost £4.50.
I agree Lamb is expensive, but Auchan are currently selling a front 1/4 cut up for €7.50 Kg *But it's still not worth it cause the French lamb is rubbish)
So I'm sorry but I don't see why you say it's more expensive for meat especially when you convert GBP to Euros.
We grow all our own vegetables which helps keep costs down, and that helps pay for the odd €100000 bottle of HP Sauce.
I can only think it's because your income is in GBP whereas ours is in Euros that you find it more expensive, and you no longer get a good rate of exchange.
