I went to buy a bag of frozen wings. It was 34 dollars. Hell no
Here too. I am shocked at the price of chicken wings.
I bought some frozen wings in a 5 lb. bag several weeks ago that were priced decent, so I got them. Huge mistake once I got them defrosted. They looked like they came from the area of the destroyed Chernobyl Nuclear Plant. They were more "mystery meat" than chicken wings.
I wound up making chicken stock with them.

The chicken i will have to bite the bullet no matter what .
I shop at Rouses for chickens most of the time and I was in there yesterday. Whole Fryers are $.99 a lb., 10 lb. bags of leg quarters were selling for $3.50 each---I got 20 lbs. worth and they were nice. Then the cut-off of the backbone/pelvis is used to make chicken stock.
They will often put split chicken breasts on sale for $.99 a lb. and I'll pick up several packs to vacuum seal and freeze.

My kids drink so much milk and it’s outrageous.
Same here. Between the Eggs and Milk prices maybe should get a milking cow and Some hen's for eggs. If this keeps up for a year they have paid for themselves .

you do have a nice backyard might not be a bad ideal. I want a family discount when you get that farm up and running.

I've stopped buying chicken wings. Who the frick is gonna spend over 4.00/lb for chicken?
Not this frickin' guy right here. That's for sure.

You shop at Walmart because you're not stupid.

probably one of the few products where "names" v. generic doesn't matter, or at least it was when I kept up with that kind of shite
Paying $2 more for a gallon of milk every 2 weeks ain't a hill to die on

I actually cut back on shopping at a grocery store. I buy meat, fruit, and veggies direct from farms near me or a farmer's market. I buy eggs from a coworker.
Oh you're just so goddamn smug, aren't you.

I buy less meat. I would often always buy chicken, beef, pork and ground beef every shopping trip for meals. Now I get ground beef and pork. Chicken I buy frozen and only cook in insta pot /slow cook meals.
I don't get a many snacks either.
I also make less sides. Though we are a wasteful family. I hate how much food I throw away.

Now you have me wondering what we spent on the wings we bought last week I don’t remember. It was those smaller packs of wings already split apart into wingettes, 2 packs of them.

I have a chest freezer in my garage and when I see something on sale I buy a lot of it and separate it and freeze it.

Even under normal circumstances, I do this.

Somewhat. Certain things just aren’t as appealing at higher prices including dining out. Our weekly grocery bill was about $250 for many years. Now it’s pushing $400 as things are more expensive and we are buying more offsetting the normal weekend restaurant expenses.

Same. I’m trying hard to change it not even necessarily because I need to monetarily, but because it’s just wasteful and careless.
I’ve starting buying proteins (or separating and freezing proteins) in portions that only feed the two of us anytime I can. For example, my store packages two leg quarters for $1.50 a pack. I only cook the two. Leftovers just don’t get eaten enough in our house.
I wouldn’t say we’ve cut out buying anything in particular, but for example leg quarters, I’m buying lower priced cuts I never bought previously just because they’re so much better priced.

I've found the store brand goes bad quicker than the name brand.
