If people want to see all the sales prices for their area I'd suggest going to Flipp.com, enter their zip code and search for chicken breasts (or whatever). Quoting one or two stores isn't giving the whole picture. Sales also vary greatly weekly. I notice there is some consistency across unrelated stores (like they almost all have X on sale one week and no x on sale the next week).Kenkat wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2022 7:24 amYes, I am surprised by the wide range of prices. Also in the midwest, I am seeing Boneless Chicken Breasts @ $3.79 and Thighs at $1.29.lazydavid wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2022 5:44 amCurious where you live, because these prices seem extremely high. I am in the midwest, and the regular (non-sale) price for boneless skinless chicken breasts at our local Jewel (which is owned by Safeway) are $3.99/lb for standard, $4.99/lb for hand-trimmed. I can't see the Costco prices online, but they should be similar to Sam's club, and I bought boneless skinless breasts there for $2.78/lb this past Sunday. That same day, I got bone-in/skin-on thighs at our local discount grocer for $1.29/lb.ray.james wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2022 12:14 am Prices from Sunday at local Safeway
Cheapest breast meat per pound I could find 6.99/lb
Cheapest thigh meat I could find 7.99/LB ( I only found 2 brands and 6 packages in the store)
It could be stock was running very low and only some brands are available but that is my 2 observations from last week. Costco does have chicken at 4.99/lb and 4.49/lb.
Another thing to take into account is cheap chicken usually is injected with a 10%-15% salt solution so you are paying for water. Though I prefer the natural, I won't pay 50% more for it.
