I understand- my freezers overfloweth right now too. Do you plan on getting a pressure canner in the next few weeks? I've heard a rumor that Target is having a sale on canning jars right now, although I haven't validated it- you could get a canner and a couple of cases of pint jars (I've found widemouth jars are easiest for canning meats) before the Zaycon pickup date of June 27th. Canning chicken breasts is about as simple and straightforward as you can hope for, and pressure canners are no longer the scary "my aunt's best friend had one explode in her kitchen" devices that used to be the stuff of urban legends.

That being said, Zaycon normally has chicken for sale about three or four times a year. This is the lowest price I've seen, though (it's usually anywhere from $1.89/lb-$1.99/lb) and I am not sure how the bird flu is going to affect future offerings.
