My experience of supermarket meat buying during the lockdown is that essentials or the best things get bought first.

I have two decent meat stalls in my local market and I buy things from them occasionally. Paying the extra is worth it for me. A third similar stall closed down last year as there wasn't the business.

In your argument all you kept saying was what you do. I'm looking at what I see lots of other people doing.
I can only say what I do, what else would you expect me to say? Like you I use butchers, (so you're agreeing with me there) and don't buy my meat in supermarkets or prewrapped, and that includes burgers. And while I'm using those butchers I see lots of other people using them too, that's why they still exist.
You say you look at what you see lots of other people doing and then offer only an opinon on the £3 or £4 chicken.
But I think if I said the sun was hot you'd argue about the temprature.
