$19.52CAD/kg ($6.64USD/lb) for chicken breast seems completely overpriced

$19.52CAD/kg ($6.64USD/lb) for chicken breast seems completely overpriced.
I've noticed a stead increase in chicken prices over the last few years.
What are you paying in the US?

just picked up some chicken breast for $1.47/lb, got leg meat (skinless/boneless) a couple of days ago for $1.00/lb with a 25% discount because it was at the sell by date

The cheapest price i paid this year for boneless skinless chicken breast was $1.57USD/lb. American Southwest area.

I pay 3 dollars per pound in texas at our biggest retailer HEB

7 a pound is a joke.

>somehow pork is a fraction of the price of chicken

I don't understand

Boneless skinless chicken breast is always overpriced because only losers buy it and are willing to shell out for that garbage.

Even then it shouldn't be more than $3-4/lbs at most.

I've seen boneless skinless breasts for $1.99/lbs in my area, northeast US.

This.

In my area it's around $3/lb going by standard prices. It's not too hard to find it on sale for closer to $2/lb.

buy chicken thighs, chicken breasts are dry as shit

>chicken breasts are dry as shit
because you can't cook.

Nothing is stopping you from preparing a nice juicy chicken breast but your own lack of skill.

not worth the effort for the price

How would you know?

>not overcooking your food is "effort"

How do you remember to breathe?

Not nearly that expensive here in Ontario, but I have noticed meat being more expensive than the US since I immigrated

The most expensive around here is about $8 per 600g at FreshJew. At No Frills I usually pay like $2-3 per pound

Why the fuck are you buying boneless skinless chicken though? Just buy it bone-in and debone it, make stock

I got some boneless/skinless breasts yesterday for $1.99/lb which is about normal. They put split breasts on sale for $1/lb fairly often. Thighs/legs are usually around $1-1.50/lb. From time to time they'll put leg quarters on sale for like 75 cents/lb or so.

>I've noticed a stead increase in chicken prices over the last few years.

That's what happens when your traitorous government, and self loathing citizens, decide to import MILLIONS of foreigners into your nation that compete with you for your resources.

Enjoy your diversity.

This. Also thighs just taste better. Chicken breasts are for tendie babbys.

I'm in Alabama and I only pay $0.59-$.079 a lb. I wouldn't buy it if it cost any more than that.

Is this where my tax dollars go?

You can buy for between $11 and $15 CAD/kg.

Not every day but often.

Red states? Yes. They receive the largest amounts of federal funding and have the poorest populations enrolled in the largest number of entitlement programs

I'm not on food stamps but yes there is innumerable white trash and meth heads here. Not so many blacks though there are a lot of towns that have no blacks at all but we do have a lot of Mexicans who get rediculous ammounts of food stamps because of all the kids.

Don't buy into the "boneless / skinless" meme, as you're just giving the Jews more money, and losing out on stock making material.

Whole chickens are your best bet, followed by thighs and leg value packs WITH skin and bones still attached.

Breasts are a meme, and the moste tasteless part of the chicken.

>rediculous

Stay in school, kids.

what? how would you get a chicken breast as juicy as thigh meat? do you baste it every 30 seconds or something?

Just don't overcook it. Marinating/brining beforehand can also help.

Guys, you're getting upset over nothing. The deep south produces a massive portion of America's poultry, so obviously they'll be cheaper there.

Your mother fucks for bricks to build your sister a whorehouse.

>like you niggers pay taxes

I bought drumsticks at 1.99 USD/lb yesterday and the packages were buy 1 get 1 free so I essentially paid a dollar a pound. Feels nice to be an Amerifat.

>incorrect use of greentext
lurk moar, newfag,

And here I'm paying $1.69/lb like a sucker. Boneless skinless thighs are always as or more expensive as the breasts around here too.

Let them stew.

Why do you keep posting that shit? Do you have nothing better to do? Fuck off.

ITS FUNNY BECAUSE THEY"RE KEKS

LOL
O

$1.50 to $2/lb in midwest US

At this mexican meat market i can get chicken quarters for 59 cents a pound. The meat is just as good as anywhere else too

>thinking that's expensive

You have to spend a fortune to eat healthy where I live bro

You seem upset.

Not him but I'd wager the only upset person is the one who edits images and spams them back

I just don't see the point of what you're doing. I keep seeing you post that image in threads and I don't understand what your motive/goal is. It's not even remotely food/cooking related. You're the one who seems upset since you spend so much goddamn time posting that shit.

Yup, you're upset.

Fuck off /pol/

I remember back when Milk shot up from $2.50/gallon to $4.00/gallon overnight. There were signs taped to all the refrigerator doors at the grocer saying it was because of rising fuel costs. Then after all the fuel prices dropped back down to normal, milk mysteriously stayed at $4/gallon. As a lover of all things dairy, that still pisses me off.

>shop at Eataly
>complain about spending a fortune

In Toronto it usually goes on sale for $3/lb, sometimes $2-$2.50/lb

But yeah, normally its $7/lb+

That price exists to rob people making 6 figure incomes that are completely divorced from having to care about the price of their groceries.

I'm just glad they kept the milk price stable over the past few years; a gallon of bagged 2% has been $4 for as long as I can remember while every other milk product has gone up.

Does your milk have the volume in gallons written on it? Or does it just say 3.75liters? Gallons in parenthesis? In this backward-ass country, we have Gallons then liters in parenthesis.

Do they actually have gallon bags? The only time I saw them (in Israel), they looked more like quart-sized. Just a curious burger.

I live in Poultry country, boneless skinless breasts cost about $2.19 per pound for national brands.

Unbranded chicken is usually $1.70 or less for the same cut.

Whole chickens are typically $0.99 per pound or less.

Wing sections are the singular most expensive cut per pound, in excess of $5 per pound.

It will never be as juicy as thigh meat because thigh meat is dark meat and breast is white, which is naturally drier, you dingus

In Alberta we are paying between $30-$40 for 7-8 shitty chicken breasts. 5 years ago it was $20. I've been buying a lot more pork recently to make up for how expensive chicken is.

They come in 3 packs of 1.33L bags

>Feminist epistemologies

I hope to god you're baiting us with that pic.

"Keep Refrigerated" ... That reminds me of this sticker on my gasoline can. Common sense PSAs run amok.

>$19.52CAD/kg ($6.64USD/lb)

Holy shit, who's in charge up there, Robert Mugabe?

Do you not have chickens in Canada, or is your money that worthless now?

What's happened to the price there? In Australia we pay about $8.99 per kg for breasts and $8 per kg for skinless boneless thighs, and they're supermarket prices. If you can find a bulk chicken shop you can get breasts for $6.99 per kg on a good day

Much less. A 3lb pack of chicken breasts is usually 8$

Baby meat anyone?
You can buy it in bulk from abortion clinics, no joke.

If only

Noice

Got it, thanks.

jesus christ man just by the whole chicken and take the bone and skin out yourself

>by

>t. someone who has never butchered a chicken

do you live in fucking nunavut?

i do it twice a month you pansy

>t. someone who has never butchered a chicken and gets called out for it

i guess there is no arguing with you user, you caught me i was the chicken all along

Do you have a sam's or a costco nearby?
I can buy boneless pork loin for about the same price as chicken breast at my local Sam's Club.

Macros for pork loin are similar plus it's pork and not chicken.

canada

Our flyers lie about when they have sales

You just gotta keep a mental inventory of prices

Do you fuckers not have an agricultural base up there that can sustain all 35 million of you people or something? Or do you just decide to tax the shit out of food?

Hey, you get "free" healthcare, though, right?

Fuck smuggling drugs into Canada, I'm gonna' start smuggling chickens and cows.

it depends, we have a fuck ton of farms where i'm from so regular produce is pretty cheap, but there's probably only a handful of beef/chicken farms so it costs more to buy meat. have to shop around 2-3 different stores if you wanna get good deals.

We don't subsidize farmers, corn and gas anywhere near as heavily as the states so produce costs what it actually costs to produce.

That's insane.

You fuckers should be getting into the ag business up there.

We've got 10 times as many people as you, including illegals, and our proteins seem to cost half as much.

Esquimalt here.

There's a difference between soft and juicy. Yes, you can make a soft chicken breast. The damn thing is soft to begin with, it takes heat to turn it hard. Juicy? Actual juicy, with animal fat? Another thing entirely.

The supply chain is managed by production boards that fix supplies and prices like in old communist & socialist countries.

It makes some things cheaper and most things more expensive.

i buy skin on bone in dark meat. so cheap

>We don't subsidize farmers, corn and gas anywhere near as heavily as the states

Subsidizing agriculture is smart, as not only does it help keep food costs more manageable, but it creates a surplus that ensures a food supply for your citizens, should your foreign supplies dry up for whatever reason.

Good points.

However it's also led to the astronomical overuse of HFCS thanks to that corn surplus, and it's entrenched the oil addiction beyond recovery.

what's ag?

agriculture

You should vote for Max Bernier (Conservative) in the next federal election.

One of his main platform promises is to stop the dairy and agricultural cartels and their 'supply management systems' which lets them vastly inflate the cost of goods.

I was planning to anyways because he wants to lower immigration and expand gun rights.

Whole chickens are about $1USD/lb, breasts are $2, dark meat is somewhere in between most of the time and wings are usually somewhere around $2.50. You can get all of that cheaper if you're willing to shop in sketchier stores.

not sure BC has the most developed poultry industry, so that might contribute. possibly flown in from Ontario

here in NS I think its about 12-ish a kilo? could just be the weirdly-cheap supermarket that all us students shop at

Jesus, I pay about that much for steak.
