Keifer Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 As the title said, where's the cheapest place to buy bulk chicken breast? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I used to go to Gilmours wholesale food distributors and buy up 5kg trays at a time. But it often wasn't the freshest meat (could be a bit whiffy despite having days left before it expired), and by the time you added the GST on, you really weren't saving much. Now I just wait until the supermarket or the Mad Butcher has them on special, and then stock up the freezer. Where are you based, anyway?

Tonkintechnique Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 its John Kiefer from Carb back loading. Pak and save does some good deals best to just wait like Pseudonym said unless you get chummy with a local butcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FellowshipOfTheRon Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 if you in auckland check out aussie butcher. i go there usually every weekend it's so cheap i dont' bother buying in bulk anymore. $8 - $10 a kilo for boneless skinless i can buy what i need for a week for cheap without worry about the overheads of keeping a deep freezer around especially to hold extra meat i got on special in bulk Tonkintechnique 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 $8 - $10 a kilo for boneless skinless Really? That's good to know. Might have to work out where my nearest Aussie butcher is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FellowshipOfTheRon Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Really? That's good to know. Might have to work out where my nearest Aussie butcher is.yep used to go pretty far out to south auck usually had the best deals going on, they had pretty much same prices but because it was further away, i'd be buying more and freezing it up because don't' wanna be making the trip just for one item every week. the other place that i recently been finding good deal sin i forgot name of the shop but it's on lincoln road just in the burger king / burger fuel area. that place even closer to home for me and very competitive meat prices.

Apprehension Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 It's probably not worth making yet another thread about where to find cheap chicken so I'll ask here: where the hell do you get reasonably priced chicken in Wellington on a regular basis? I know supermarkets go as low as 10 bucks per kg but that's sporadic at best. I've heard good things about the Mad Butcher, but Porirua and Lower Hutt are both a bit of a drive for me. Perhaps other butchers round town may be worth looking at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundsgood Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Chicken breast prices have gone up heaps The 9.99 a kilo boneless skinless deals are history guys You would be surprised how much I pay even though I buy around 500kg a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Al Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Why are you buying 500kg a week?Mad butcher have skin on chicken breasts for $9.99 one week of every month at my local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maccaz Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 i wonder what dictates the price australia vs nz (same seasons etc)over here in australia on a good week i can get skinless for $5/kg, usually 6-7/kg. strange considering steak is 2x the price over here.

Bigken1985 Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 I actually don't find chicken breast that greater value anymore, it used to be. But now I prefer meat from my local butcher, I can get lean steak mince for 13.90 kg. rump, hogget chops, roasts etc. much nicer meat for not that much more $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudonym Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I have an appointment with Countdown tomorrow. They've got a good deal on now (~$12/kg boneless skinless, I think) so I'll stock up the freezer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosting Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I dont eat chicken often. I see it as the type of livestock commonly kept by people in overcrowded 3rd world countries out of necessity. Something they might enjoy with their rice as they feed their impoverished malnourished bodies and struggle to survive.Not saying its not of value to bodybuilding but the fact its a poverty food and the way the chickens are 'farmed' in nz is enough to put me off it.

Rizza Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Countdown had some good deals going in Christchurch, then pak n save did one better. Buy a deep freeze, and change the "no junk mail" sign on your letter box to "count down and pak n save only junk" Pseudonym 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
