Has anyone tried this yet? Their new customer special is $79 including shipping:

-4.8 lbs. breast strips

-2.4 lbs. diced breasts

-2.4 lbs. thin sliced breasts

-2 lbs. boneless breasts

-2.5 lbs. boneless tenderloins

Reasonable price; good for stocking up.

@PickyPicky3 That works out to about $5.60 per lb. I think I can get chicken cheaper locally, especially with a sale.

I agree. When chicken is on sale in my grocery store, it is $1.99 per lb.

Yes, I also can buy chicken on sale locally for less. Right now, it's not always available. This is something I would only try in January or February.

Thank you for posting this. The only chicken I will eat is Perdue.

I get a big 10 lb. bag of chicken breasts from Costco for $24 and it lasts us a good while (just cooking for two, unless we have company). I can do all the "things" to it myself; dice, cut strips, pound thin, etc.

If it's frozen and vacuum sealed, it is a good deal.

@PickyPicky3 Check again...I just saw $59.95

Lots of items I would be interested in are sold out already. I hear panic buying is in play, again!

@LisaMofSLC

Probably "weather buying" is at play as well. We just had 6 in snow with a layer of ice and another system on the way for the weekend.

Can someone explain somwthing to me? I have ordered all kinds of things online, and the shipping is what is expected. Just today, I went to order some chicken from Perdue, and found a good variety pack with no shipping. NO SHIPPING! My order came to $94. When I went to fill in my info and payment, a $98 UTAH shipping fee was added. A shipping fee based on a state? Has anyone from Utah, or elsewhere for that matter, had a shippping fee added, an exorbitant one at that, added to your order? Thanks.

@LisaMofSLC - When I looked at the Perdue website, it showed free shipping for only select items or orders over $159.99—the order total you described was less than the stated threshold for free shipping, so perhaps the items you chose were not part of the options offered with free shipping, resulting in a charge to get them to you?

EDIT: Just for "fun," I went and played around on the website. It appears that when you select one of the states in the western half of the country, a hefty shipping charge is added even if the items selected are listed with free shipping. For example, the charge for Idaho is $105, which seems high when the charge for Hawaii is $120. But shipping to Texas is just $34, and shipping to Illinois is $19.99, which is the fee the site appears to be waiving to offer the free shipping deal. All very interesting...

I just paid $3.99 for boneless chests on sale. I went early in the morning, they had only TWO pkgs available!

Many meats have been very hard to find.

So go more veggie? Gosh, produce is outta this world too!

Chicken was on sale at Whole Foods for $1.99 a pound for whole chickens and some other "parts."

I guess I really don't pay much attention to the price. We get a lot of our chicken, pork and fish and other items delivered from Schwan's. The quality is there and I can rely on them (and I don't have to go anywhere). But to get boneless thighs it's off to the grocery store.

@loriqvc

I got a reply from Perdue. They said the hefty shipping fees are due to location. The further away, even with free shipping, you get billed even more. I thanked them and told them I could not afford my order.
