*I looked at other forum Topic Headlines and this question seems to fit best here, even though it is more about money than nutrition. Please let me know where to repost if there is a better place to put this question.
I have been living in Seoul, South Korea for 8 years but coming back to live in the US this coming summer. When I came back to visit last summer I was shocked at 1) the prices for chicken breast 2) the quality of the chicken breast in the supermarkets.
In Korea (which hardly should have better price and quality than a huge country like the US) I can order 5kgs of chicken breast, that is relatively free from extra fat or "rib meat," for about 28.00$usd (See pictures attached)
When I visited all the grocery stores they were filled with bags like this for a similar price but the cuts of chicken were HORRIBLE. I could eat maybe half of it and the other half I had to throw away because it was all fat or gritty meat I would feed my dogs. The good cuts I could find, which usually came in pieces of 4 (styrofoam packages) were well over double in price than I can get here in Korea for the same cut and quality.
Hence why I am posting. Where is the best place (online/walk-in) where I can order good quality chicken breast for a relatively fair price? Would love suggestions or wisdom. I wasn't expecting to pay double for the same thing in the States. I thought I would have better options and CHEAPER prices.
Thanks for your time and responses!
