Deal or No-deal?

Chicken thighs, ten pieces, 5.5 to 7.5 oz ea.

1. Deal, if they are edible.

I have found the quality of chicken parts to have plummeted over the past year.

Nasty tough skin, tasteless chew meat.

I've got guests in for an extended stay and I broke down and bought my poultry at Whole Foods yesterday. I paid substantially more than what you have here, but I know that it is going to be very, very good.

2. moderately good price

1.19 is the going rate at aldis for chicken thighs (with bones and skin). But the last ones I got there were markdowns, so it was $2 off per package. I got a few packs and froze them. Checking the freezer just now, the top one in the stack was 3.92 lbs for $2.66 after the discount.

for comparison: $1.29 is the price this month for b/s chicken breasts at my local market. I bought 10 lbs, I'm roasting that and slicing it for sandwiches. Much cheaper than deli meat at 3-5 times the cost, and healthier.

3. I avoid stores with double-tier pricing. It's a disturbing trend.
