You must admit 99 cents a pound sounds rather deceptive since I've never
actually seen a 1 lb. chicken for sale Okay, cornish hens weigh a pound
or so but they aren't nearly as inexpensive as a whole chicken, poundage
wise. Publix has chicken leg quarters on sale for 59 cents/lb right now.
That's the cheapest I've seen them in a long time.
