The difference will bear out in the price per pound. For example, sometimes I can get
boneless skinless chicken breasts at $5.49/lb or I can get a whole chicken at $1.29
per pound. But for me personally, value is more than just cost. I buy bone-in meats
more often than not, because the flavor is so much better in most cases. This is
especially true with beef and pork, but also holds up with chicken and turkey, IMO.
