That’s $2.29 per pound… This must have been organic or something other than the local house brand chicken, because that’s as much as I pay retail.

In the same week, at the same store, I see the same brands of chicken going for anywhere from $1.50/lb to $6.99/lb. Not sure what the wholesale prices are.
