Thread 21659085

I ordered 20lbs of chicken thighs on instacart to be delivered to my home.

The shopper instead brought me 20 packages of chicken thighs. Each package weighs around 3lbs.

But I only got charged for 20lbs.

There is no way I can eat all these packages of chicken thighs by the 18th which is the sell by date. They are in air tight sealed packs that are still slightly frozen from the store.

Is it okay to throw some of these back into the freezer or will it give the meat a horrible texture?

I would rather give the extra meat to family and friends than waste it by sticking it in my freezer if it's going to ruin it.

>>21659085 (OP)
For reference this is what the packages look like

>>21659085 (OP)
Yes put them in the freezer you retard.

>>21659085 (OP)
Throw it all in the freezer and pull as needed, what have you been doing before this?

Living on my own I have never purchased more fresh meat than I could use before it went bad.

>>21659085 (OP)
You got the 60lbs of chicken that they were about to throw away

Thank you

>>21659085 (OP)
The fuck am i reading? Yes throw it in the freezer holy shit. Do you ask for permission on /fit/ before you wipe your ass or something

>>21659085 (OP)
Just freeze it

>>21659195
but could she fit one of those cans in her?

It's amazing how many people would literally die if they just didn't have prepackaged food ready to be delivered to them at all time. Probably can't even build a fire.

>>21659085 (OP)
Nope, just thaw it out and its the same shit. I do it all the time

Damn that looks like a fun night. I love smoking and drinking.

>>21659085 (OP)
you're lying, I worked for instacart behind the scenes. Meat is sold by the pound, you paid for 20lbs but received 60lbs. You'd be charged for the additional 40lbs tje moment the carter used their instacart pay card. Fucking lying fag.

>>21659090
Yeah they'll be fine. I buy the thawed ones from costco and freeze them all the time to no ill effect.

>>21660077
You're wrong

I was charged for 20lbs of chicken thighs.

Now say you're sorry for calling me a liar.

>>21660311
Just post your 20 packages of chicken, retard

>>21659108
If you freeze fresh chicken from the store, it'll come out fine for weeks after. Just seal it in a freezer bag and get rid of air pockets. Sometimes stores sell those bags of frozen wings/legs/etc that have been laying around at various temperatures for ages so they come out shitty and rubbery. That won't happen in your freezer.

>>21660311

What the fuck do you eat

You're a big doc.

op makes a fantastic nutty cream chicken

>>21660077
It changes store to store, some go by weight and some go by units.

I admire you trying to be keto/Atkins low carb etc but...
>dark meat chicken
>trash cuts
>paying money for them and having them delivered

Yikes. Have some self respect. Stop eating trash cuts like that. That's dog/cat food or to make stock. Get white meat breasts dude... sheesh.

>>21660726
According to his OP, they actually gave him 60lbs of chicken by mistake.

That would make her about 85 if she's still alive. You wouldn't want to be molested by a drunk 85 year old hag.

I buy ice but I live in Houston. The tap water here tasted like complete shit. So the $10 or so a month on ice from the corner store is well worth it.

>>21663095
It's the same fuckin municipal water you muppet. Ice machines don't have filters.

>>21663184
The ice you buy in bags from the store is frozen at processing facilities that filter the water and use similar techniques to cocktail ice makers to push impurities to the top during freezing.
Why are you saying wrong things so confidently?

Debone all of them and make stock from the bones
Gz you now are proficient at deboning chicken thighs and have 30L of chicken stock now flat pack and freeze the thighs and pull as necessary

Can any anon identify the beer brands? The can design should help narrow down the year.

Why aren't refrigerators femineereed anymore? You'd think with all the women out there pretending to be engineers now, we'd have a lot of femineered products, but no, maybe because they all forgot how to cook.

>>21659085 (OP)
>Can I freeze meat?
These are the people who I share a board with.

>>21664902
He's asking about re-freezing, which is a valid question. Some people think the repeated expansion of water messes with the texture.

However, my paltry anecdotal evidence is that I've eaten twice-thawed steaks and they were fine.
>but anon why would you do tha-
Bought steak from store, froze it, later thawed in fridge, applied rub, back in fridge before grilling. Then my schedule got ruined so I chucked it back in the freezer, then thawed again a week later. And it was fine, at least my my pleb standards.

>>21664849
>whole ass chicken just sitting there

>>21664988
It was a different time anon, she probably had six strapping boys who would devour an entire chicken at each meal and then fight over the bones.

Just imagine what it was like to live in a time when people could get so excited about refrigerators. When you buy one now, it's all about spending hours of research online, trying to find which shitty Chinese contraption has the least amount of "smart" features and is least likely to die within 2 years. ("Survivor bias" be damned, the refrigerators of my youth were tanks, even if they weren't especially energy efficient and sometimes killed small children.)

>>21664777
I have gone honestly crazy for the last few hours trying to do this but no luck.
>stella
They don't use the red block with white text design until much too late for this picture, and in any case they never have the star way above the top
>lone star
Similar deal, the star is smaller and always associated more closely to the text
>bottom one with the gold swoop design
Genuinely hopeless. I've done a deep dive of american brands from various regions, looked at UK, german, polish, italian, even USSR beer... no dice anywhere on either. I'm tempted to call it AIslop but I don't think it's that either.

>>21664919
It's a valid question for someone who can't cook, yeah, but that's sort of my point there.

>>21665114
I actually found a stupid AI company that has a specific model for identifying beer cans, but their result was PBR which is obviously wrong. (Fuck you robots.) I'm still hoping to find an old-school 90s site of some autist cataloging his can collection. I knew a guy who did this, in particular collecting "beers from all 50 states", but he allegedly sold the collection years ago. (More probably he was forced to trash it by his fat wife.)

>stella
Good eye, Stella was my first guess for the top too. However, this pic looks American, and I doubt that Stella Artois was being imported back then (correct me if I'm wrong).

For the lower beers, my first thought was Hamms, due to their enduring blue/gold color scheme. I still think that's a real possibility.

The real mystery is wtf is that giant can in the upper right. What could possibly be so important to take up space in a dedicated beer fridge (based btw)? Beans?

>I'm tempted to call it AIslop but I don't think it's that either.
Agreed. I hate that we have to second-guess everything now (not that shoops weren't a thing before) but I think it's real. The only possible anomaly I see is a possible lack of depth to the TV set, but that could be explained by imperfect alignment with the fridge.

>>21665117
>It's a valid question for someone who can't cook
So as someone who can cook, why not answer it? We'd all like to hear your treasured erudite insights.
>just google it
Google is a parasite that feeds upon human data. Who knows, if you answer a question instead of bitching, your post might even be consumed by the next AI data harvest.

>>21660311

This thread has been 70+ posts with many people answering the question already, anon. That part's done with. I'm gonna shit on him for not knowing it if he's gonna make a thread about it, even if you decide to be captain of the OP faggot defense force to protect him.

>>21665176
Everyone needs a hobby I guess.

>>21665180
Getting offended for other people when posters are meanies on 4chan does sound like a very busy hobby.

>>21665137
I do not think American is strictly necessary. There is no clear indication that this picture is in the US though I do consider it likely, and in any case they could be taking a picture to commemorate their haul of imported beer from wherever. It's not even completely certain that the text on the cans is latin alphabet and definitely not guaranteed english, I would say there's room for cyrillic or some other similar-enough alphabet. Both designs are so striking and clean that I really want to be able to identify them, I feel like someone who has seen them before would get it instantly.
>top shelf
White can. Red geometric block that might be called 'ticket stub' shaped, with white text - two words, top word is maybe one letter longer than the second. Blocky typeface, appears vaguely stylized like it has aggressive use of serifs. Spot, star, or perhaps small emblem high above and centered over the text block. Not stella, budweiser, rainier, or any other American or American-available beers I could identify with a typically white and red color scheme.
>bottom shelf
Gold can with light grey inlay, or light grey can with gold inlay - depends how you interpret it, the can is about half each. The design is very "70s" looking, with smooth swooping lines and large repeating forms. The shape of the colored areas evokes perhaps a long-necked bottle or a baker's peel. The text is thinner, gold, and more of a classic-style typeface as opposed to the more aggressively stylized text of the top shelf can. Two words again, this time the second is noticeably shorter than the first, maybe 3 or more letters difference. Not coors, olympia, miller, or any other brand I know of with a predominantly gold color scheme.

Blue and green, popular beer label colors, do not seem to appear anywhere on either can - maybe in small amounts e.g. on the small emblem on the top shelf can, but not as significant features visible at low resolution. So what the fuck are the beers???

It's either this or you just got a retarded worker at the store. The way Instacart used to work, in all cases, was that the Instacart shopper would go to the grocery store and scan individual items with their phone and then when the phone confirmed it was the correct item, they put it in their cart, and then pay at checkout with their Instacart credit card.

However, since 2020 or so, Instacart has often partnered directly with grocery chains. Certain grocers will have their own in-store shoppers, who pack orders for Instacart and also pack orders for people who just order from the grocery store's website without using Instacart or a similar app.

Most likely, their in-store shopper didn't bother to confirm the difference. Or it was about to be expired and they said screw it. OR there was a deeper glitch in the system and the bar-code scanning was indicating this incorrectly.

I used to work in DoorDash corporate on this kind of shit. The biggest areas in which grocery delivery fucks up are when you change quantities of items. That's why it's extremely common to order say 2 single bananas and you get 2 bunches of bananas.

Most likely OP you ordered 20lbs of Chicken Thighs, but they probably only had it pre-packaged in the 3lb bags (especially since you got Members Mark which means Sam's Club). And so they probably had no way to give you 20lbs, and just figured 20 packages was the easiest way to fulfill the order

>>21660077
When did you work for Instacart? They've partnered with some grocers for years now. Oftentimes and Instacart shopper will show up to the store and the order is already packed and ready to go, they just pick it up and deliver. It's entirely possible the shopper did not make this error.

Also, you can sometimes override the barcode scanner and manually input the item, it is possible the shopper did this.

Or there could be an error at Instacart itself, and it scanned the 3lb item as a 1lb item
