shmoo Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I am on the hunt for a regular supply of chicken breast, preferably minced otherwise I will have to mince it myself. Aldi down the road from me has breasts not minced for $9.50 per kilo, in trays of 4 half breasts. Does anybody know of anywhere cheaper? I am near the Hawkesbury District in Sydney and would prefer not to travel too far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Rules Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 If yoou have a food processor, they mince up chicken breasts pretty well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rysup Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 If you only want breast meat, then I would mince it myself. No guarentee that you will only get breast meat otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmoo Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 This is true. I'll give the food processor a go! Ty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormie Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Back when I was buying chicken mince from Burns, they once gave me the whole 10kg as minced breast! I was actually disappointed at the time cause I wanted minced frames ;) It was quite possibly a one off, but I didn't pay any more for it than their usual chicken mince. It was a couple of years ago now but might be worth asking if they can still ever get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 How specific are you regarding the breast meat? Woollies sell chicken mince and for the most part it seems to be all meat and not much else. You could ask them what part they mince I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmoo Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 I am after breast mince because it is the lowest in fat (have I got that right?!) I am hoping to get it a bit cheaper than $10ish a kilo. ;) Looking to put Sweep (the diabetic Silky) on a raw diet (with other things included of course) to check he does well with his skin and then drop him at the vets with his new diet and have them check his glucose levels etc and make any insulin changes. He does terribly on the vet recommended dry/canned food diets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Goats meat might be cheaper?? I was paying around $8 kilo for goats meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmoo Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 Where did you get that from? I guess I chose chicken because its a very easy meat to source, and I know he loves it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I was buying mine at a butchers at Granville. Look for any butchers and areas that have high numbers of Turkish and Lebanese residents. They eat a lot of goats meat and stock it fresh. Ring around your local butchers. Alternatively, got to granville once a month or so and buy it in bulk. Almost every butcher sells goats meat there.

Erny Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) If there is a Wholesale Poultry place anywhere within reasonable distance, it can save you a lot of money over time, if you can purchase wholesale. I guess I'm a bit more aware of that side of things for the fact that I am feeding my boy 2kg of chicken per day - even one or two dollars off per kg can make a big difference to the cost of a month's supply of food. Fortunately, there is a poultry place not too far away from which I can pick up regular supplies. It's not breast, but I pay $7 per kg for leg fillet (skinless). From memory, the chicken breast fillet is about $8.20 per kg or thereabouts (for skinless, I think. Skin on is cheaper.).

Jacquiboss&scoop Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Roo is also a very lean meat and not too hard to source , does your little dog still have teeth , can he just eat the skinless whole ? Also red lea chickens blacktown area , used to sell direct but would ring and check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-time Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Oh, sorry for the misinformation then I thought Woolies were doing standard pricing across Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAHDAQ Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 If its not to far for you you could try the fruit shop at Michinbury on the Great Western highway at Mt Druitt the sell both chicken breast and baby goat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) Oh, sorry for the misinformation then I thought Woolies were doing standard pricing across Australia I was about to race off to Woollies as that is around $5 less per kilo than normal!

Skruffy n Flea Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 red lea chickens at westfield parramatta does minced breast at $11.99 per kg --- i know, it's a bit far for you to travel... i asked if they could mince up my order of chicken livers, chicken hearts and chicken giblets and they couldn't so i'm considering getting me a mincer; that might be the way to go for you too, get skinless c/breast [much cheaper] and mince it yourself, maybe...
