Last Call For An Excellent Chicken Deal

Today's the last day of the current sale at our local Whole Foods stores, which means it should be the last day that you can get their excellent air chilled chickens for $1.49 a pound, nearly half off.  These birds are so good, we've had them twice during the sale, once roasted whole (a nice, comfy dish for fall), and once roasted in cut up pieces, as the butchers always seem willing to do.  While this deal is exceptionally good, all is not lost after today, as Vitamin Cottage has Boulder Natural Meats whole fryer chickens (also air chilled and with all the other desirable attributes) at a higher sale price of $1.99 a pound all the way through November 3rd, although if you want that one cut up, you'll have to do it yourself.

Rocky Jr. Reminder

Just a reminder that today's the last day you can catch Rocky Jr. whole chickens for just 99 cents a pound at Sprouts. We see lots of statements about "all natural," but Rocky Jr. explicitly addresses the antibiotics issue, good for them.

Another Whole Foods One-Day Sale

Our local Whole Foods stores will be doing a fantastic special for tomorrow only, Bell & Evans organic whole chickens for only $1.69 a pound. So we have a wonderful dilemma of great choices: the Rocky Jr. whole chicken on sale at Sprouts for 99 cents a pound through Wednesday, the Bell & Evans organic whole chicken at Whole Foods for $1.69 a pound tomorrow only, or the Boulder Natural Meats whole chicken that's $1.99 a pound at Vitamin Cottage all the way through February 27th. It's a great time for meat eaters, but probably not a good time to be a chicken.
