Just got back from my favorite store and I'm pretty angry about some chicken breasts I bought.
Member's Mark $ 1.97lb I paid for 6.38 lbs of chicken breasts. I unpacked the breasts and placed them in freezer bags. When I went to throw away the packaging I noticed just how heavy it was and decided to weigh the breasts before freezing them. The total weight of the breasts came to 5 bs 1.5 ozs. This is entirely too much water and packaging waste to have to throw away. I had the option to pay slightly more for the vacuum packed breasts but thought I would save a couple of pennies, big mistake. About 20% waste just in the blood bag.
Oh well, live and learn
