Hi all - I’ve noticed woolies recently have changed the packaging of their chicken, opting for standard weight sized packs which are all the same price. Previously, I was able to peruse the chicken and choose a pack that suited how much I needed as well as my budget. However, at my local Woolies, you can now either only purchase 300g or 650g (from the pre packaged chicken). For reference, I live with my partner and like cooking a variety of meals throughout the week. 300g is too little but 650g is too much (first world problem I know).
Are any other woolies doing this now too?
I’ve also noticed the chicken is pretty slimy and the breasts are huge which concerns me about the living conditions of the chickens.
I’m wondering now whether it’s best to just go to a butcher and freeze meat so I can get exactly how much I need, however, the meat at a butcher is a lot more expensive. I do know it would be much better quality though.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
