Up here that chicken is like $2.99 lb and pork is never really more than $4/lb. Winn Dixie sort of reminded me of Walmart in quality.

I resigned myself to going to Costco for meat when I get down there full time. I'll split it up, vacuum pack it and freeze it. I don't see myself using those stores for regular shopping if I can help it.
Try Aldi, or Sams or BJ
