Thaw it in the microwave while you're at work... Just put it in, don't turn it on, come home and it's thawed...

How much chicken do you guys keep in your freezers?

I'm finding whole chicken for about $0.85 lb at meijer. Still have two more butcher shops to check and sams club.

When I had 2 Danes I kept a lot, and you're right, none of it thaws fast what I would do when I got home was to separate the chicken into the daily amounts for the dogs into zip lock bags. They store smaller and they thaw quicker.

I was getting chicken necks and backs for about $.60 per pound at Kroger.

Well my old town butcher shop said he would sell me leg quarters at $0.20 over cost or about $0.30 under full counter retail. But I have to buy it by the 40# case (not an issue). So I can get leg quarters for $0.69 lb. I think that is on par with kaneman found pricing and I can get that price all the time, no sales or anything.

Then like I said... $0.85 not on sale at meijer for whole chickens.

Sams club was $0.88 a lb for whole chickens... couldn't believe Meijer beat them.

Still have one more butcher shop to hit...

Also need to look at chest freezers instead of fridges I guess. Did you guys buy new or used?

Ok peeps... somebody who is going to go thru the amount of food I will....

What size freezer are you all running?

I think I will just buy a new one... can get
5 cu ft for $139
7 for $169
or less

the 5 will hold approximately 175 lbs. of frozen food. I think that should be fine. Manual defrost but no biggie

I have (2) 70+ lb dogs, and I use a 5 cu ft chest. I have had no issues with storage.
