Re: chicken and turkey again

[Guest guest]

Where do you live? on Farms is a good brand- legal. I also find

Teeter chicken without broth added. I also found legal Publix brand in Atlanta.

I will say that the cheaper brands of chicken have the most additives. To save

on costs, I check the circulars. Whenever a brand of chicken that I know is

legal is on the weekly special- I stock up on it and put it in the freezer.

Legal turkey is harder to find. I almost never buy it. I have not found legal

ground turkey or chicken near me, but I know people in larger cities have found

them. There are good prices at Trader Joes if you have one near you. Sometimes

after Thanksgiving the stores reduce their prices on turkey and I have found

some good deals on legal turkey then. It is usually a more expensive brand so if

it is on special I get it.

I try to save on costs by checking the circulars regularly and stocking up on

specials. The chicken at our local Sam's club has illegal additives, but they

have good prices on nuts, fruit, eggs and other legal items. To save money on

SCD I rotate where I shop to find the best prices...and I always check labels

carefully.

Hi- I'm in the south- NC- and Teeter is a local store in this area. I

haven't bought turkey since last Thanksgiving- but I read the labels and the one

I bought said " no additives minimally handled with only 1 or 2% water added " ( a

normal part of processing ). This type of label is generally safe. Most turkeys

in the store have added broth, but this was a specialty item that did not get

sold by Thanksgiving so they reduced it and I grabbed it. I don't remember the

brand. I hope some members of this board who live near you can help with local

sources.

Kind of OT but I was watching an old childs episode where she shows how to cut up a chicken. That woman is so funny to watch. And I learned how to do it. UC-C 12/09SCD 1/10Daily, CLO, Magnesium, bromelain, acidophilus Mom of 2 crazy monkeys :-)

Chicken and turkey are pretty much all the protein I can eat, so I'm

always looking to see what's on sale. There's a local brand that's

pretty good, not organic and not grass-fed but at least no anti-biotics

or hormones. It is more expensive. But we check the weekly flyer

for the store and OK, if legs are on sale, we get me legs. If breasts are

two for one, we get that. It really doesn't take very long at all

to whack up a chicken, and good kitchen scissors sometimes are easier

than a big knife (at least for me). If I want ground chicken meat I

just do it myself with my old-fashioned hand grinder. It only takes a few

minutes and that way I know there's no illegal stuff in it. Turkey

is harder. Better around Thanksgiving and I try to have extra freezer

space in November and pick up the better type turkeys while on sale.

Sprouts is really good! I buy chicken, turkey, and beef from them. I always get

1/2 a turkey breast though, not ground. Knowing Sprouts, their ground turkey is

legal, but you still should check to make certain. Also, they have turkey year

round. I just bought 1/2 a breast last week :-).

I get my chicken at Sprouts. They tell me it is " just " chicken. (Maybe it

varies from store to store?)
