Where do you get your chicken?

Where do you get your chicken? We go through so much chicken that there has to be a more economical way to do it.

A grocery store. You gotta Sams Club, BJ's ?

I watch for $1.99/lb (or less!) sales that come around between our two major supermarkets (ShopRite and Wegmans) and check the quality before buying 4-5 huge trays.

I used to trim them then freeze them, but lately I grill them first, then freeze them. Makes it a lot easier to reheat and eat, especailly since I'm usually just eating a chicken breast with veggies and not making up a whole new meal for the family.

Those $1.99 sales are great.

Depends on who's having the special.

Meijer --- 8 lb frozen boneless skinless chicken = $12

Kroger --- two 6-7 lb whole chickens = ~$5.

My cousin buys a lot of good quality meat at Costco, not sure what he pays though.

We are trying to find like restaurant sized chicken breasts. Like the ones you'd get at chili's or applebees. We have been buying the 6 lb packs of tyson boneless skinless breasts at Sams club for a while, but they are absolutely huge! I've tried fileting them, but they are too inconsistent for that, so I am on a quest for this mysterious 'Sysco' chicken breast...

I go to the ghetto butcher shop.. boneless, skinless chicken breasts for $1.13 regular price, and on sale alot of times for .89 a lb....

You should see the looks I get when I load the cart with 50lbs of chicken...lol

yeah .. Perdue is the brand I was talking about at Costco.

Well we went to costco today and they had exactly what we needed - 10 lb bag of frozen boneless skinless breasts. $23.

Not a terrific price, but not bad at all considering what we've been paying. I'm going to grill it all up tomorrow and probably freeze half of it.
