I think thighs taste better and are not too dry either.

mad butcher isn't cheap at all and has some of the worst quality meat of all here in AKL

Best to buy a whole chicken and do it yourself..... simply debone all then use meat for whatever, especially at that price.

Chicken breasts were $10.99 a kg this week, less than half the price of the ones in #1.

I've been eyeing up chicken breasts for the past 3 weeks. I haven't bought any - all because they (butchers) have taken the skin off.

I saw that - and did you see how poorly they were cut and the amount of rubbish still on them? When you remove that it certainly puts the per kg price up

We pay top dollar for houses, pretty good prices for uncooked food... You obviously have the opposite.Take your pick.

ii shop at paknsave in tauranga and their chicken breasts are usually 18.99-23 a kg. it never fails to give me a fright and their thighs aren't much better. and although i don't eat them often, damn sausages are what 8.99????

I prefer thighs - more flavour and don't dry out...

We just buy a large free range chicken once or twice a month. They cost between $18 and $25 depending on where I buy from. I then either portion it and freeze individually or I cook one whole, in which case we get 2 or three meals from one and another 3 or 4 meals from the frozen/portioned one. I don't know if it works out cheaper actually but I guess it comes down to how often you need or want to eat chicken :-)

I agree with idigo1, I bought lots of thighs last wee - all frozen - but they had alot of fat / flaps of skin underneath, several cups from 3 big packs. Still very cheap though, and great for bbqs.

I buy chicken breasts from my local halal butcher for $14 a kilo and they're trimmed pretty good as well.

You could make a "cheap" meal here: foodtown, woolworths, countdown have chicken breasts with skin on on special for $11 a kilo - and no need to worry about a farmer making his/her money throughout the year there either - so go for it - and feed "the kids" ...

Last week our local countdown had chicken breasts on special at $18.99kg (boneless and skinless).Rump steak was on special for $18.99kg, and sausages were $8.95 for 675gm or $8.50 gor 540gm, depending on the flavour.They are usually around $12.99kg but over $15 to me is a ridiculous price to pay for snarlers.
