I just rode my bicycle down to my local Schnucks to get some produce,
as I was unable last week to visit my normal place (Market In The
Loop) for my produce, and as I haven't seen skinlwess bonless chicken
breasts for a good price for a while so I figured I'd stop and see
what Schnucks was selling them for. Imagine my surprise when I found
them for $1.99/lb!! Not even the huge family packs either!

I bought the three packs they had left!! Happy hppy joy joy!

Good job! That's the way to do it. Get them before anyone else
discovers the price.

For comparison, how much were skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts?

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think I'd take skinless, boneless
breasts if the store paid *me* $1.99/lb.

I would, mainly because I don't think skin and bone add any flavor.
Skin adds grease and bone is well, bone. Flavor is in the meat.

Fat is where the flavor is at.

You can have all the fat I throw away then. Send me your shipping
address and I'll send it COD.

Yep...if nothing else, that skin and bones really flavor a stock.
The higher fat ground beef tastes better because of the fat too.

Did you check the label. I've learned to avoid any chicken parts that
have water or chicken broth injected into them. I'd rather pay more for
chicken that has no additives.

Yes, these are from the Schnucks butchers. No additives, just good
filthy chicken meat! ;-)

Bingo! I see $1.99 regularly, but it's for the 15% "solution" crap that
is impossible to brown, ruins sauces, etc. The decent <3% retained water
stuff is $2.99 or so and actually cooks properly.

Sad smile.

It takes about 3 seconds to skin and debone a chicken breast once you
are used to it. I am not joking.

You just paid a dollar more even on sale than the meat would have cost.
I can get the weight issue though as for 7 years we used mostly a
bicycle or our feet to shop while in Japan. This isnt one of them.

I never pay more that $1.29 a pound for breast, be it boneless, skinless or otherwise, and very seldom more than $.99.

I never see any kind of chicken for 99¢ or even $1.29 anymore... not
the crappiest chicken in the crappiest store. They don't even sell
chicken backs/bones for that little anymore.

That's for sure, sf. I don't know where some people are able to buy
chicken (any cut, bone-in or boneless) at those prices. Unless it's
injected with a bunch of water, I suppose.

I never buy chicken parts. I prefer to buy one and cut it up myself, then
I can get the stock from the carcass etc too

Guess it depends on where you live. I never pay more than .99 for bone
in chicken of any kind. .89 is common for a whole chicken. Last week I
got thighs and drums attached for .59.

"Fools and their money soon part"
Also, what real cook wouldn't want the bones and skin for other
reasons?

I have a six figure income, $25/yr has no effect on it.

I have no culinary use for chicken skin, and making chicken stock is not
worth my time when I can get good quality stock for about $1/qt.

THrre is no quality stock for 1$ a quart. You have very low standards
if you think that was quality.

Not very well if you eat 25 lbs of meat a year.
