Zaycon

(It was time for another biannual Zaycon chicken haul! Here is 40lbs of it – there’s another 40lb not pictured! It takes a decent amount of work on my part to get it cut into portion size pieces and into the freezer, but in my opinion it is SO worth it! I did not trim ANY fat off of the meat in this picture, so as you can see – there is almost no waste. I have used Zaycon for years and always been impressed with their fresh meat and fantastic prices! The links above are my referral links, but I’d love for you to check it out whether you use my link or not. I seriously can’t say enough good things about how much I LOVE Zaycon! :))

80lbs of Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts ($1.67/lb) – $133.60

~Used $133.60 of Referral Credit

Total: FREE  (Even though I’m thrilled to have gotten all this meat free, thanks to many of you, that’s NOT why I promote this company! I buy their products regardless of whether or not I have credits. 😉)
