Chowhounds has a thread from 2007 that suggests under $3 a pound.<br /><br />http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/424411Food, she thought.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04510492084023508648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830444700214945787.post-91759374380053908772010-02-08T11:08:01.604-08:002010-02-08T11:08:01.604-08:00Wow $22.80 is wholly unreasonable for a 2 pound ch...Wow $22.80 is wholly unreasonable for a 2 pound chicken. I have to know how it tasted though.

I think it was just over 2 lbs, iirc. The receipt was not detailed. Can I afford to eat their chicken once a week as a DINK? Yes, I can. But I can hardly advise friends with multiple children or one income households in this economy to buy their protein here.Food, she thought.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04510492084023508648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830444700214945787.post-78425306397125170032010-02-08T09:19:36.819-08:002010-02-08T09:19:36.819-08:00I've been meaning to drop by soon.
