chicken "parts" for stock, price at Safeway, etc?

Just discovered how quick and easy it is to make excellent chicken stock in a pressure cooker(!) so now want to buy boney cartilaginous parts to freeze and use on the spur of the moment in the future.

Does anyone know if Safeway sells just poultry parts like that (backs, necks, etc), and if they're reasonably cheap?

Update:

Thanks K Woods, but I'd like to be lazy and just stock up on parts more or less ready to go most of the time.

Still looking for some specifics on prices, and for which parts.

Update 2:

No one has any estimates for actual *prices* for me??

    most stores that sell chicken parts will have packages of backs and necks for soup . If you are near an asian market try some chicken feet,they are cleaned and the best for stock pot.. and the least expensive also sometimes in the Asian shops you can purchase what is called old hen which is a layer hen that when finished production is sold to the commercial soup companies and some sold in speciality stores.

    Source(s): Additional Prices will vary by location but backs and necks should go about 29 cents per lb.

    Grab a knife and stab them. Then you'll be a cereal killer... Hahahaha!!! Safeway/Vons aren't the greatest places to work. My bf worked in the bakery and was always written up because it was only him working at times and he couldn't help everyone at once.

    Most stores sell these part very cheap.

    The other way to get them is to buy a whole chicken and bone it. Once you remove the usable parts (breast, legs, wings and thighs) you'll have a whole carcus left to make stock with.
