No problems in the quality of the product, the problem I have is the jacking up of the price because of the packaging dishonesty. (Big slow clap for Winco!)Īs for Walmart – I didn’t call customer service or complain to them in store. But Winco surprised me that they actually are honest in their policies of weighing the meat. So anyways, I was going to say to always avoid these kinds of packages and just go for either the frozen bags at Costco or fresh from a deli. Their styrofoam package was not nearly as heavy as the Wally world one. When I weighed the chicken it was spot on at 4.04 lbs. On the package it says it should be 4.04 lbs, but it was actually 4.15 lbs! Way to go Winco…you actually considered the weight of the packaging! The chicken was priced at $2.09 per lb again. I bought chicken again, this time I happened to be at Winco. Well, just in case, I will leave this little disclaimer…this problem may have only been at my local store and not chain wide. I mean posting online that I was ripped off at Walmart? What if I got the Oprah treatment? (sued) ) I wanted to run to my computer and share this all right away. So…that $2.09 per pound price is now $2.71 per pound. Still, I wanted to weigh just the package and juice-soaker-upper thingie. I should have only paid $7.92 for this package at $2.09 per lb. I was irritated and annoyed at this point. I tared the scale and then put the chicken on the scale. Next I decided to take out all the chicken and see how much that weighed by itself. I think that is kind of weasly, don’t you? I did read on the packaging it says “Contains up to 15% natural chicken broth.” I was assuming that it was injected into the chicken breasts or something, but I noticed a TON of chicken juices in this package. I measured a few other items to make sure my scale was accurate first and it was. So the first thing I did was to set the whole package on the scale to see if it was 5.14 lbs. It says there is 5.14 lbs of chicken inside. That’s an okay price – I usually get better deals at Zaycon. In the store the price said $2.09 per lb. So last week when I brought home another package of chicken from Walmart I decided to go with my gut and actually weigh the chicken and package. I had this nagging feeling that I was getting ripped off. The styrofoam package and the little juice-soaker-upper thingy (I know… real technical) felt almost as heavy as the chicken breasts inside. The last few times I have come home from Walmart with a package of chicken breasts I got this feeling like something just wasn’t right. For the past few years I have purchased my boneless skinless chicken breasts from places like Albertsons, Costco and every once in awhile even Walmart.
