Costco if you have a membership. If not, price it out with the membership. Costco is life.

I hit the local grocery store when they mark down the meat, buy lots of it, freeze it, and cook when needed.

Tom Leonard's will often do $1.99 a lb. I saw a sign for this price on Friday when I drove by.

Back on our Aldi kick lately. Not sure the exact price per pound, but a pack of three breasts was like $11, but the “family pack” of six+ breasts was $14…

I just buy the big one, trim it all on Sunday before trash pickup on Monday. If I use it over the next couple days, cool, otherwise I freeze the rest.

Will use the frozen ones for something in the crockpot or soup or something down the road.

Somewhat related… dozen eggs are $3.99 at aldi.

Wegmans I believe is 3.09/lb for the family pack which runs $14-$16.

The best tasting and best texture chicken breast is going to be the Bell & Evans at Whole Foods. However it's pricier at $8/lb

It's like a food thrift store. You have to go and see what they have but deals go fast. I'll buy something and go back the next day for more and it's gone. And if your grocery store ambiance experience is important to you this is not your kind of place.

I bought eggs and chicken today at aldi. I wasn’t really shopping for chicken, but found two packs of chicken tenders for half price. I cooked them when I got home and shredded it. I made a delicious bowl of chicken salad for dinner tonight and will use the rest in salads or freeze for later. I froze the broth and will pull that out later for soup. A good purchase for $5.

I always check the sale meat at Kroger. Awhile back I bought eight packs of organic ground beef for $1/lb. I cooked it all that night a pound at a time and froze it in 1 lb bags. It’s been great for making quick spaghetti, tacos, etc.

Costco roasted chickens are a great deal, too. Sometimes I buy one and can eat various meals from it for a week. It’s a time saver, too.

Fresh Market on Tuesdays $3/lb and it actually tastes like chicken

I mean, depends what we have, but ideally would be Mayo, red onion, celery, celery seed, salt, pepper. My signature is to smash the hell out of the chicken with the back of the spoon once mixed with everything.

Edit - need tomato in the house for a sandwich, otherwise it’s a wrap with Italian dressing.

Aldi! On Sunday I got packs of two chicken breasts (boneless) for 50 percent off so like 3.50 per pack!

Aside from being a SOB.. they'll often bait and switch items..like..they'll advertise say.. lobster tails for $3 each, and then when you get there, they're tiny and bundled in 5 packs. So now you end up paying close to $20 after taxes for less meat than you would get in a can.

  1. Canned lobster sounds disgusting. Is it good? Lol.

  2. Thanks for the heads up, I went in once because I’m originally from the SW and was craving some Sonoran style Mexican food. Couldn’t find green chilis at other stores in the immediate area. Now I know to avoid them, or at least be vigilant.

I was using lobster as an example of personal experience.. Canned lobster is perfectly fine if you are using it as part of something larger. It's very much used commercially in restaurants and food production. Raw lobster goes in the can... sealed. And then the heat of pasteurization cooks it in the can.. no worse than canned tuna, crab.. etc.. The crab in take out crab rangoon i can guarantee came out of a can. Wanna make a lobster bisque.. thats a couple cans of tail meat added at the end of the process, so it juat heats up.

A friend of mine also got reamed out and fired on first day by the dude because she was taking a picture of some piping tips.. dude accused her of trying to steal his recipes and threatened to smash her phone.
