I just bought a few boxes at the Vaughan Walmart supercenter.
List price was $7.97 (908gram box) for these Schneiders wings but scanned in at $6 flat.
Here's a link to an old thread...

That's a pretty good price. Not sure of the quality. I know I normally buy wings from M&M's when they're less than >$10 for 2lbs and they are excellent quality.

Do you eat your chicken wings raw or something? I realize that people may be scared by the listeria contamination of deli meat, but that's an entirely different type of product, and is eaten raw.
Raw chicken from any supplier could have bacterial contamination, but thats why you cook it thoroughly, regardless of where you buy it, and from who.

I just had some of these wings the other night. The deal may be good, but the wings are not.
+1 to M&M meats chicken wings though :p

+1 When I had them, Schneider's wings were awful.
You might as well buy fresh wings from the grocery dept and just dump BBQ sauce on them and stick them in the oven. You'd probably end up doing a better.

2 lbs=908g.
Giant Tiger has Chicken Wings on for $2.99 for a lb (454g).
I forget the brand, but they are quite good. You get about 12 wings - not the biggest wings, but good.

M&M wings are pretty good!
I bought the buffalo once by mistake and they were WAY too hot though... haha :o
Also, I could have sworn I saw somewhere that there was some shortage of chicken wings for superbowl? lol

for frozen wings, I prefer PC brand or M&M, but these ones are no good...

ignorance at its bestThat's really unfair of you. Perhaps he/she doesn't like the taste. Perhaps they don't feel comfortable with their past. Perhaps he/she values and remembers the human lives of people who are no longer with us, and does not feel the company should triumph beyond that. Perhaps $1.35M paid to each victim's family is seen as little consolation. Perhaps he/she takes issue with Maple Leaf's passion of cutting costs by frequently moving production locations, and paying their front line workers less each time. They're all valid reasons for consumers to exercise free choice and discretion.

All valid points ... if they were actually stated. Posting an open ended opinion like that is obviously asking to be flamed because there is no justification provided for the opinion. I'm sure if they had a point to make they would make it, but in this case they left it to be interpreted by others so they should expect it to be taken as such.
That being said there's never been a shortage of chicken wings if sports bars can offer 5 cent wings for Monday Night football every week. Just don't think about your sodium intake after downing a box of wings ... lol

No kidding. I just found out the salami I like and eat daily is like 100 calories and 300mg of sodium for 2 pieces that are only about 1.5 inches in diameter. Jebus... I am afraid to look at what wings are at.

With a tone like that either you're a relative or a troll. Puh-Leeze. HUMAN LIVES! My god man. HUMAN ONES!
Oh ya, we've had the cheap wings from Giant Tiger. We didn't die. The end.

The end.I'm not sure what your problem with the tone is ... they're facts as well as a reminder that it is someone's relative, and the risk is there for everyone, if you choose to buy preprocessed foods. People forget that real life death of your brother or friend isn't like our TV dramas and news report it - it's deep & personal for someone & often should be a reason to stop and think. And it was a response to someone else's immature 'ignorance at it's best' comment, when the ignorance is clearly elsewhere.

Man, I'm going to be watching the BIG GAME with a huge bucket of deep fried BBQ wings, some nachos (loaded with old age cheddar cheese, salsa, and sour cream), deep fried mozzarella sticks, jalapeno poppers, steak quesadillas, potato skins, and some ice cold beer! I know it's not healthy, but come on, the game is only once a year. :)
