Chicken Candle
- Posted by Melissa on February 22nd, 2004 filed in daily life, food, old blogs
I bought a 7 pound chicken candle the other day. I paid Target $10.72 after the 7.3% Kansas sales tax. That means that large chicken candles are sold at a rate of $1.53 a pound, which is expensive in my opinion but still much cheaper than actual chicken meat is right now. At Dillons right now, chicken breasts are $3.99 a pound, which is pretty crazy if you ask me. At Hy-Vee they’re not far behind at $3.49 a pound, and although Checkers is the best price in town at $2.68 a pound, actual chicken meat is still going to cost at least $1.15 more per pound than chicken candle. The same 7 pounds in real chicken meat would cost me $29.97, $26.21, and $20.13 at the respective grocery stores in town.
It’s a sad, sad world when a wax replica of a chicken starts to look like a more economical food source than actual chickens.
