Local grocery store had baby back pork ribs on sale for .99 cents a pound. Damn, they must have gotten a tractor trailer load of them.
I bought 10 racks for 28 bucks,... I saved over 80 dollars on them.
They also had a beef brisket that I looked over, it was 80 bucks... But it was a big one...

Krogers had baby backs a few weeks ago, buy one get one free. I got a couple of them, and cooked them the next day. I don't like freezing them for some reason. I know that what you buy in the store has probably been previously froze, and then thawed. But, I'm hesitant to refreeze things like that for any length of time.
I bought a brisket at the grocery the other week, it weighed just a shade over 7 pounds, and I believe it was 3.99 a pound. I raise cattle, so I don't mind seeing higher beef prices.

Pork has been on sale more than beef lately. I have been eating more pork for that reason. I just picked up Farmer John whole pork loin for $1.99 a pound. Brought it home and sliced it into thick steaks. I have been grilling a lot of pork on the barbecue, putting some sauce on it and wrapping it in foil to slow cook in the oven. That makes for some real tender pork! Pork ribs have been running $2.49 to $4.00 (!) a pound.

They will slice it for free.

It’s cheap on a regular basis here, but not as cheap as you folks have it.
Bought a couple shoulders a week or two ago. $1.47 per pound believe. That was as cheap as I’ve seen it for a bit. On occasion whole loins get marked down to $.99 but I haven’t seen that for a year or so.

I thought we were doing good at $2.39lb. Anything under $2 I buy as much as I can and throw in the extra freezers.
Yup.
