We make an effort to buy only Colorado Chicken since that is where we live. I’ve found that I get better quality that way, and i can feel good that less energy was used transporting the chicken. Also, the point we were making is the comparison between the price of whole chickens versus chicken parts. If you are finding breasts for 1.99 per pound, I would bet that the same brand of whole chicken in the same store is likely .89 per pound. No matter the brand, the store, organic or otherwise, it is almost always a better deal to buy chicken whole rather than in pieces.

Here in New Jersey, boneless chicken breasts are always on sale for $1.99/lb at Shop-Rite or Pathmark. Mostly generic from Florida, sometimes Tyson, occasionally Perdue (best; no feed smell, either).

You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog.

What I usually do is buy a whole chicken, pan sear it and put it in the oven at a really low temperature and let it cook for several hours.
Or do a whole chicken to flavor the water for a soup; adding any local veggies and cooing it at a low temperature.
Butchering your own proteins is way better than buying single/pre-made fillets. And we save alot more money that way.

That’s quite a price difference. Looks like I buying a set of poultry shears.
