Same with Jewel in Chicago area. You get a much smaller bird for about 4 dollars more. Total rip.
The Jewel stores in my neighborhood have terrible meat, high priced too. I was burned one too many times buying steaks there that were crap. I get all my beef from Costco now, they have excellent quality meats, the ribeyes and NY strips I buy there are way above Jewel meats. Jewel needs to up their game or the Chicago icon will lose customers and end up like Dominick’s.
I prefer to cook it myself. Doesn’t take much work, cost less and always tasty.
