Zaycon Foods: Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast

If your looking to stock up on some boneless skinless chicken breast for a low price now is your chance. Zaycon Foods is rolling out boneless skinless chicken breast  nation wide for just $1.69 per pound!  Ordering is open in Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana and they are stating registration will open in all 48 states by 9/18. You may order until the cut-off date, or until the product is sold out.

From Zaycon's website:

• 100 % natural chicken with no added hormones, additives or artificial ingredients

• Comes directly from the processor and has never been frozen

• Sold by the case — 40 lbs in each case

• Case dimensions—18 in wide x 12 in deep x 7 in tall

[NOTE: Our chicken is delivered in its original wholesale packaging, a water resistant cardboard case containing three or four plastic bags of fresh chicken breasts. The smaller bags are typically sealed in a larger plastic bag. The smaller bags are not uniform in weight. There will be small amounts of naturally occurring liquids (i.e.,"chicken juice") in each bag and case. Chicken breasts typically come in double-lobed pairs ("butterfly") and will have small attached amounts of fat.]

To get the deal:
Go to Zayconfoods.com
Log in or Sign up
Select the location and time that works best for you
Place your order
You will pay $67.60 for 1 - 40 lb case. You can either stock your freezer with all 40 lbs or you can split with a friend.

There will be a little "prep" work when you get home as they come in 3-4 bags with in the case. If your a simplest like me, toss 2 - 4 breast butterflies in a freezer bag and label.  If you like your chicken trimmed, simply plan a little more time to prep.

I plan to do 15 lbs as 2 breast bags, 15 lbs as 4 breast bags, slice 5 lbs into strips and finally toss a few pounds into the crock pot for shredded chicken.  I will probably also toss in some marinade into some of the bags before freezing.

Lorri's albertson's trip

I also stopped in at Albertson's this afternoon, Here is a prime example of couponing gone wrong. Hey even the best of us have flub ups. I tried to roll my $2 Kraft Catalina from last week into a new Kraft Catalina. I had my qualifying products list however when grabbing the meat, I grabbed Salami instead of Bologna. 

 

 

 

Transaction 1:

2 Kraft Single Cheese - $1.28 each (Limit 2)

1 Oscar Meyer Salami - $2.00

Used $2 Kraft Catalina from last week

OOP - $2.56

 

Transaction 2

3 boxes Wheat Thins - $1.37 each (must buy 3)

Use 2 $1/1 coupon

OOP $2.11

 

* I was anticipating Transaction 2 to be $.11 oop however sense I grabbed the wrong type of lunch meat I did not earn the Catalina from transaction 1. $4.67 is still not a bad price for 6 items... this just goes to show even the seasoned couponers have off days.



Lorri's Target deals

I ran in to Target today for a few "freebies" I normally don't do Target as Albertsons, Safeway and Rite aid keep me plenty busy  but we desperately needed sponges. Sense I'm on the North West side of town, my prices are slightly higher then free.  Still at just $.08 per item is a great price!

Low down:

Up & Up 2 pack sponges - $1.09 each

Up & Up Ibuprofen 2 ct. - $1.07 each

Use 2 $1/1 off any Up & Up cleaning product

Use 2 $1/1 Up & UP Pain Relief

OOP $0.32
