I never understand why people would buy the 500g option when the 1kg option is only $1.8 more.
Some prefer younger chicks, especially if they're cheaper.
I don't think that there's a 1kg option for the products listed here (in the Tegel Take-Outs range)
A lot of people shop based on price rather than value
If you're referring to the 1kg Chicken Portions (the same Tegel Take Outs Louisiana/Nashville), this is bone-in. Whereas the 500g Chicken Tenders are boneless, and I will say bone weight is not light, so I guess you need to consider this where about a third to half of the 1kg is non-consumable. Also, some just prefers boneless :)
Ah if you prefers boneless that's fine. I eat my chicken very cleanly so I'll put it down to maximum 30% bone in that 1kg bag. Yum.
I like both but I was just saying some people prefer (or maybe only eat) boneless so when you say you can't understand why people would buy the 500g option instead of the more "economical" or valuable 1kg option, it's probably because they're not all like you who prefers to eat off the bone? Cheers :)
There is no 1kg option for any of these products.
These are tegel takeouts, its a more gourmet, higher quality and more chicken % than the bigger, non takeouts options.
The tegel 950g tenders are basically glorified, slightly more chickeny nuggets. The 500g takeouts tenders are literally god tier and healthy, in the air frier I've lost around 30lbs eating them almost daily.
https://shop.countdown.co.nz/shop/productdetails?stockcode=7… - 1kg option - Chicken 66% - $9.5
https://shop.countdown.co.nz/shop/productdetails?stockcode=1… - 500g option - chicken 64% - $7.9
I just prefer the portions based on value that's all =)
Calculation isnt as straightforward at that, Portions are bone in, Tenders are boneless.
(I would still probably get the portions though)
@rkl: True however price wise Tender is 66% more than Portion per 100g. Do you think the portion is 66% bone? I don't think so :P I shall go and find out today.
Yup good point. But I think the 66% of "chicken" out of the 1kg bag is referring to both the meat+bone portions, and the 64% of "chicken" out of the 500g bag is just meat (boneless tenders). So if say bone+inedible bits are about 25% of the "chicken" in the 1kg bag, edible meat would be around 495g. If 30% then meat would be 462g and so on… For the 500g bag, meat would be 320g but the convenience of no bone and bits that are inedible.
I'm well aware of this product, i even picked it up several times and put it back down, because I wouldn't consider boneless and bone-in products, even if identical otherwise, to be substitutes.
I love boneless chicken, and immensely dislike bone in chicken. I also eat the tenders cut up and in a salad with tomatos/capsicum sour cream and jalapeno's, so it's not even a preference thing, you would struggle to make the same dish with the portions.
The 1kg are actually different products
This should be the same price in-store, right?
Yes
ahh you all stop ya whinging and just eat those damn chickens before it gets cold, bone-in or tenders, I don't care.
If it isn't cold, I recommend you leave them in the story. These are supposed to be sold frozen. I guess some stores may sell the already cooked and ready to eat, but not at this price
Heard this on the radio so I'm guessing all stores in Auckland at least
Nationwide. It's an Easter promotion. They've been running a different deal every day
this helped my KFC cravings during the initial level 4 lockdowns
Thanks for this
