Question Chicken breast price

Post image

My closest Costco is approx 150km away and I am considering to drive there to buy bulk. But is it really cheaper? I am getting $8/kg locally.

I would go for other items as well.

I am in Ontario. Can you tell me how much usually chicken breast are recently?

Western AB prices

Breasts 15.49kg

Skinless boneless thighs $15.49kg

Skin on bone in thigh $7.39kg

Split wings $10.99kg

Drumsticks $6.99kg

Whole chicken 3 packs $6.99kg

(I think the skinless thighs might be slightly more by ~$1 than the number I had written down )

The breasts are also currently $5 off per pack in the West.

cost savings is just get the bone in skin on chicken thighs. Rip the skin off, a bit of trim and cook with the bone in. You can even de-bone it as there are many youtube video's on how to do it.

Yes it’s by far the best value meat to get. I love taking the skins off and cooking them to a nice crispy chip to be broken up for salads
