- FF split chicken breast 1,49
- What’s not a bargain. Rotisserie chicken at 9.99 each. They try to hide the fact that it is three pounds with using an ounce measurement instead of pounds. Chicken has a break even point, That is the point where there is the same amount if bone as there is meat, At three pound chicken has 1-1/2 pounds of meat. At 10.00 a chicken. You are paying 6.66 a pound for chicken. In the same ad, split chicken breast is 1.49 a pound and kegs and thighs are .99. You can put a whole chicken , often less than a dollar for locally grown in a slow cooker in less than 10 minutes including cleaning up the counter. You are paying a lot for 10 minutes worth of work. Boneless, skinless chicken breast are lower fat than dark meat, and even at two dollars a lb, you are saving money. If you are using a chicken breast for a cassarole or tacos etc, you can cook a chicken breast from frozen in the insta pot in 8 minutes—probably less time than driving to costco and standing in line. Anyway you look at it, you are paying three times the price for someone else to cook something that takes 10 minutes if your time to cook. That means you are making 70 dollars an hour for your time. In my book, that’s a chunk of change.
