home sweet cheap meat...

So as Aaron and I settle in the city we are finding new and interesting things out. Something I think you readers may find interesting. When Mom took us grocery shopping for the first time we were shocked to find very cheap chicken. Yes, cheap chicken, and not the type that sells itself on the corner for cocaine. 4 boneless chicken breasts (nice size...bow chica wow wow) for $3.80. Now being from the land of the awesome (aka NC) I figured there must be some catch (Boston must be overpriced blah blah blah)...but alas this chicken was cheap and tasted just like chicken! After demolishing the chicken we went back for more groceries. What did we find but 2/3 lbs steaks for $1.40 each! Needless to say we didn't even come close to finishing them, but that just means more steak to go around. Now for the kicker...we went to another grocery store today, and the meat is regular priced! So why is the meat at my beloved Johnnie's Fresh Market so cheap? We asked and they don't know...either the animals are killed on site or they have a deal with the animal butchery mob. What do you think?
