Chicken prices: how to compare
I was trying to weed out some out-of-date books I never use and as I
flipped through the 1982 "Information Age Sourcebook" (no mention of computers in THAT book) I found this chart, which might be quite useful! (Sorry I can't reproduce it neatly - I'm in a hurry.) "Based on yields of cooked chicken.....the uncooked chicken weighed 2.75 lbs.") If a whole fryer costs 49 cents/lb: Breast half without rib should cost 67 " " WITH rib should cost 65 Thighs should cost 55 Thighs & drumsticks should cost 53 Drumsticks should cost 50 Wings should cost 39. If the fryer costs 51 cents/lb, prices are 70, 67, 57, 55, 53, 41. Fryer at 53 cents: 72, 70, 59, 57, 55, 43. Fryer at 55 cents: 75, 73, 61, 59, 57, 44. " " 57 " : 78, 75, 63, 61, 59, 46. " " 59 " : 80, 78, 66, 63, 61, 48. " " 61 " : 83, 81, 68, 66, 63, 49. " " 63 " : 86, 83, 70, 68, 65, 51. That's not the entire chart, but I hope it will do. Note that the ratios change a bit as you move down the chart. Lenona. |
