WinCo keeps winning

Posted on by

Ah, WinCo….How I love thee.

About a week ago I thought WinCo had sealed the deal and become my favorite place to shop. But, today plucked the strings of my heart (and wallet) even further. Behold:

Now, my freezer is already at 105% capacity. No room at the inn. But, dang it, for a buck and a half a pound I will figure something out. Is it a bargain if I spend $400 on a new freezer in order to save $1.50 a pound on chicken? Mmmmm…probably not…but it sure is tempting.

No idea how long the sale lasts, but if you’re local, the WinCo is on Reserve and South. Tell ’em Commander Zero sent you.

  3. Commander:
    This may not be the good news it looks…
    Are they killing chickens to avoid paying high feed bills?
    Next year there may not be much available.
    That new freezer may pay for itself!

    Ceejay

    • Exactly what I was thinking BUT I already have three 16 ct freezers and am all solar so that’s the extent that i can go.

      Same thing happened with beef during our drought 7 years ago

  4. Can it! Boneless/skinless chicken breast runs about 13 oz per pint jar when I do it, so 10 lb. goes into about 12-13 jars.

  5. This is where a Freeze-Dryer (FD) comes in. 1 pound of chicken breasts works out to 6-ounces freeze dried

  6. I just got a new chest freezer for $250 at Lowe’s.
    They had a smaller one for $189…
    Might be a good idea to get a second one, you need a back up, right?

  9. Definitely, pressure can it.

    I am enjoying chicken I pressure canned from 2017. Still yummy.

  10. Nice, the best I can find in my area is ~$1.28 for whole chicken or bone-in / skin-on thighs at Costco, breasts are still close to $3. Still, it’s probably not going to get above freezing outside for the next five months so I might as well stock up the coolers in the back yard as I’m sure the prices will go up before the temp does.
