Anyone buy Kirkland branded canned chicken?

[bwframe]

We can our own

I need to revisit this. I used to can pork loin when it was on sale. Very convenient to have shelf stable meat around.

Eh, it always cost me at min $100 when I walk into costco, so yeah that $1.50 hot dog and a drink or that piece of pizza can get expensive. That's what I figured was meant by $150 hotdogs.

I really save on my prescriptions there. I only buy the bulk items that I really use and usually save quite a bit over Kroger’s or even Walmart. Their Member’s Mark brand of products are often produced by well know companies are a real value. I don’t normally buy milk or eggs there because Kroger’s usually has a better price. But that’s one of the great things about America, you can shop where you like, at least for the time being.

Careful…. Smoking chicken is addicting. They say it is the gateway to smoking leads to heavier things like brisket and pork butts.

I tried smoking a chicken once. Gave up. couldnt keep it lit.

I use canned chicken for quick and easy fajitas. Mixed in with peppers, onion and fajita mix on top of tortillas that have been heated on a flat top. Add fixins and you have a true treat when you don't feel like slaving over a hot grill. I made these for my kids some since I was a single dad with custody.

We can stew, beef tips, chicken and white Chilli.
Probably add more variety later this year

Better get in line now at sams club with the pumpkin pie if you want to be somewhat on time for thanksgiving dinner this year.

The lines are the reason we switched and never looked back.

I wasn't saying it like it's a bad thing. It's just a fact for me. I love costco

We've had the Costco and Sam's brand, can't tell any difference between the them. Other than making chicken salad, I will use it for a quick stove-top chicken noodle casserole.

I have looked into canning my own, just gotta find a good price on chicken.

No worries. Some stuff I look at and say to myself “who could ever use that much XYZ”. Like I said I get my prescriptions and then mostly bulk items. I get the burger and divide into 1 lb bags, flatten and freeze, bananas, apples, cheese and a few other fresh items. Oh, and their dog food is good too.
I also use the Scan n Go and never have to stand in the lines anymore, great idea!!!!

Nope but I think she looks better.

I have found most of the Kirkland branded food items to be pretty good. I’ve also been impressed by their batteries.

My savings come from mostly buying non-perishable food in bulk and gas there.

Pro tip: Get one of the rotisserie chickens in a grocery deli and use it for chicken salad. I doubt you'll ever go back to canned (unless in a survival situation).

Thats what we do. I will buy 3 chickens, put them in the fridge overnight and pull the meat off of them.

I will then split it up, vacuum seal them and freeze them. Works great for chicken salad.

After a trip through, the hot dog will cost you $150, maybe more.

yeah, but they will throw in 100# of dog food, 48 AA and 48 AAA batteries for that price, too.

A follow up to get us back on track, fellas...

Cans feel more like aluminum rather than tin or steel. Bought these items this past weekend and the expiration date is 2026, so I'll add several more to the stash next time.

Made chicken tacos for lunch just now and the chicken was superb. As good as any canned chicken I've had before, so I'm going to shut up about the can's rigidity!

Since when does anything stay on track at INGO?


Maybe they are recycled Bud Light cans?

I don’t drink soda anymore, we’ll sort of a Root Beer fan but only in glass bottles, but I’ll have one occasionally and the newer cans are extremely thin aluminum. They’re so thin that they can be easily dented by just holding them.
I never thought of using the chicken for tacos! Sounds good. I use more tuna than chicken and to make enough tuna salad for 2-3 sandwiches needs 2 cans. The chicken comes in a bigger can so I might try to make some chicken tacos this afternoon!

We used to get the Sams Club canned Chicken ( 3/$9) back when we were members -
Like it with Ritz crackers

Same here. I was glad to see your post. Thought I was the only one. Btw I think canned chicken tastes about the same as tuna.

We buy that Costco canned chicken 6-er quite a bit.

Zero issues with the packaging nor the contents. Can doesn't at all seem "thin" to me.

I just got a FoodSaver vac sealer for Christmas and have been using it. Cutting her steaks in half is a great idea!

I find I can buy fresh steaks and seal them up as soon as I buy them and they are good in the fridge (not freezer) for 2-3 weeks…
