Frugal In Florida: Whole Foods Score

Whole Foods Score

I stopped to pick up some cilantro and mint and browse all the pretty, picture perfect produce ... ended up picking up one cubano pepper, 5 pablano peppers (for my stuffed peppers coming soon!), and then wandered to the meat department as they had the 85/15 ground beef for $3.99, grabbed 2 lbs.

Then, I looked at the fresh packed chiller ... which I never do as that stuff is EXPENSIVE ... and spotted boneless, skinless chicken thighs.

I save my purchase of same for Costco, I can never find it cheap elsewhere.

WRONG. Tonight, Whole Foods had the vacuum packed stuff for $1.69 a pound. Really.

So I scooped up 6 packages (about 18 lbs worth?). And spent a total of $61 after tax and all (oh, yeah, a quick stop at the salad bar to grab some romaine lettuce) ...

So, I get home and notice that the packages had all been relabeled.

They are labeled as WHOLE CHICKEN. Not boneless skinless chicken thighs.

Out of curiosity, I peeled off the label for the old price.

$3.79 per pound.

Yup. That's more like the Whole Food pricing. I'm wondering what happened and why someone re-priced them? Sell by date is March 5 so that was fine too.

My point is, pay attention and do look at the pricing. I just got so dang excited :)

Yup, I have lots of chicken again. Believe I will be whipping a dish or two up in the crock pot very soon :)

Happy Shopping and keep your eyes open!

It should be noted that most bloggers use affiliated links and aytime you click through to buy something or sign up for a service or whatnot, there is a compensation paid to that blogger for the referral. When I first started blogging years ago, and following other bloggers, I did NOT know this as it was not a requirement to disclose such things.

So yes, if you click through an Amazon link, you may be contributing to my bottom line. Same with joining Swagbucks, etc. It should be noted, however, that Textbroker.com does NOT pay a referral fee and I still recommend them to all ... so it's not always about the money!

If you do not want to contribute the monetary success of this blog, by all means, click through a link and then do a search to remove the referring link ... I am fine with that :)
