Where do you buy your boneless skinless chicken breasts at?

I'm tired of the rubbery hard shit from Costco. Any other chain stores that sell better chicken?

Also, i'm not interested in whole chickens or thighs or legs....

I also don't have access to a farm where i'm at...though I've not looked for one either, so i'll have to check that out.

Also, i'm not going to pay a fukking ridiculous $8 a pound shit either...i'd be broke in a week.


Thanks, you fukking fukks:D
 
I’m in the same boat. Even when buying unfrozen meats. They inject them for the weight and preservation with saline water and it’s a mess when cooking. . 10lbs isn’t 10lbs anymore. Maybe it’s like 7lbs is 10lbs. . And when they go overboard with injects, it’s out on sale. Everybody stretching stuff out to maximize profit.
 
So I am not the only one that has noticed this!

Read the label. They add some (I think phosphate something or other) to a lot of brands of chicken breasts. It seems to be only the breasts that they do it to. It makes the chicken taste and feel like a damn chicken nugget or some processed crap. It is GROSS. Sprouts has great prices on chicken breasts fairly regularly that dont have that additive. I buy the big packs and then break them up at home into ziplock freezer bags. I often find them at sprouts for 299 or 399/lb.
 
Market Basket. Or if there's an Aldi near you that place is awesome, and the food is actually really good. And the prices cheap cheap cheap, but the quality is good.
 
Okay, went to Trader Joe's and didn't like the way their $4.99 chicken looked, and I wasn't buying the more expensive ones. Went over to Sprouts, and they had their $4.99/# breasts on sale for $2.99. I grabbed about 10#, and I tried to get the one's with the least amount of white stripes, which looked minimal. I feel good about this, lol...so i'll give an update. They also had breasts for $7.99/#, but that wasn't happening. Also, the breasts I got require little cleaning up, so that is good, and they also have <2% added solution compared the 8% everywhere else! They had $1.99/# breasts with large white streaks, and those didn't look near as good.

On another note, my son and I also hit up Costco today as well, and we got a weeks worth of Sirloin for a little over $5/#. Wish I was a 120# female with lower protein needs
 
BJ's (like Sams Club)

10 lbs Tyson individually packaged chicken breast 6.5 lbs for $19.99, sometimes a little less. I buy these weekly and instapot cook them.

Also, don't be afraid to go to a butcher and ask for a deal. My local guy will go about $2.50 a lb when I buy over 10lbs. They will need to be packaged but no big deal.
