Yup! Though if you shop around you can avoid it and some chains, like Trader Joe’s, tend to include less as far as I can tell (except recently with those big breasts of theirs?). Not even that much more expensive but definitely a jump in quality. A Sprouts nearby also has fantastic chicken.
I’ve been meaning to visit the carnecerias near me, though. Getting meat at any specialized store tends to cook better, anyway, but I’m a little shy since my Spanish is terrible and last time I tried they didn’t speak English. Lots of pointing and gestures, lol.
chicken comes in price ranges. the highest price range is usually double what the lowest is.
TJ has 2-3 ranges of chicken products. the higher end ones don’t do this, but the really cheap bulk ones probably do and a lot of cheap low end chicken in cheaper stores definitely do.
just like they have 4 kinds of eggs, with the cheapest begin 3 dollars and the high end ones being 6-8.
I suppose that’s true. They didn’t used to have their butcher shop brand until a few years ago, and there’s no doubt they’re watering it down. You 100% can taste the difference with the higher end, at least. Same kinda for eggs, although I’m getting eggs at Sprouts.
Hell, tier pricing is even in the milk lately. I wish we had better standards, lol.
