You hear a lot lately about getting less for your money. Perdue was giving folks more in an odd way. Extra giblets!

Part of me thinks the Perdue employee who designed this strategy for disposing of extra giblets was a pretty slick thinker. The consumer in me is a little pissed.

I use the giblets for gravy/stock and usually feed at least part of them to the cat and the dog but I don't get extras because I buy my chickens from a local woman.

By the way real chicken have dark and light meat and are very tasty hah

From the complaint:
. . . by this improper method, Perdue incorporates the additional giblet parts in the price per-pound of Perdue whole chickens sold to retail customers. Thus, while Plaintiff was charged $1.29 per pound for whole chicken, the weight of the chicken - and thus total price charged - included the extra giblet parts. This practice allows Perdue to essentially charge Plaintiff and Class for its costs to dispose of extra giblet parts, totaling millions of dollars in improper charges assessed to consumers. Consequently, Perdue makes retail consumers of its whole chickens pay for the privilege of disposing of Perdue’s processing waste. . .

Wow, suprise suprise.. NOT

I love the giblets, I use all of them for soup. I grew up on them so they don't freak me out as they so some. Not crazy about the liver, so I typically give that to the dogs after cooking.

With all they are doing with vacinnes and hormones and stuff I have cut way back on all meats, and have for some time now.
