Google says McKinnon's sells ground chicken for $1.49 --- which is itself an absurdly low price, lower than Costco, wildly lower than the supermarkets --- a boneless chicken breast costs $0.50 more than that per pound?

It might just be regional variations. In Quincy (quite near Cambridge), Roxie's is currently selling chicken breasts for 1.79/lb.

Roxie's is a local meat market where my family used to buy most of our meat (the other place being an illegal meat auction which was held in a strip club on Sundays...and yes, I'm being completely serious).

Here's their flyer: http://www.roxiesofquincy.com/daily-add/daily.pdf

Here is McKinnon's flyer: http://mckinnonsmeatmarket.homestead.com/Menu.html. I'm not sure on ground chicken price, but you can see the prices for chicken breast on there. I've never personally been there, but there is a Yelp review from July that confirms buying split Chicken breast at $0.99/lb.
