Choice.
$4.47/pound at Vons. Limit one. I bought the biggest one they had. 4-bone.
Then went to Ralphs and they had $4.99/pound. Manager let me have two full racks still in the distributor's packaging. One was $100 and one was $86.
I am going to separate the ribs out, cut into steaks, vacuum seal, and freeze. We'll have ribs here this weekend and then start working on a pile of steaks.
Might get another one. We probably won't see another big sale like this until the 4th of July.

BTW: ever seen the look on LA people's face when a guy in camo pants and an orange sleeve shirt and hat hits the checkout line with two rib racks. Oh man!

There's a Restaurateur in N.J. who ages his own farm raised beef in a cooler lined with Himalayan salt blocks. He claims that his steaks cannot be beat.

Choice here in Southwest Florida. $6.99 ended yesterday. A bit more than last year at $5.60 lb. I bought about 35 lbs of standing rib roast yesterday.
I pick through it to get the best looking roasts. I trim of the ribs and vac pack them. I cut the roasts into really great and thick ribeye steaks to be vac’d and frozen. They have a sale on standing rib roasts about twice a year. Keeps me in ribeyes and beef ribs for the year if I catch both sales.
Life can be rough on us dreamers.

I can only imagine the wtf's....you got. Maybe some flecks of blood on your clothes or red "eye black" next time. Slave P.S. Of course, round here they would just say "any luck?" or "shoot a big one today".

We can get Choice boneless prime rib from the wholesalers for our diner at 5.79 a pound. These will run about 17-23 pounds and are vacuum packed.

Just bought another at Ralphs. I count 7 bones. 25.70 pounds of Choice, $4.77/pound, $122.59.
Supposedly at full pop ($14.99/lb), it would have run $385.24.
I have some cutting and vacuum sealing to do.

Should have seen the look on their faces when a red neck in greasy jeans and a SnapOn hoody buys 14 whole eight bones and gets told $2296.37! Choice, ordered in October, wet aged for 30+ days. $7.99 #. They averaged over twenty pounds each. We served 120-130 for our clubs Family Dinner. BBQ cabbage, smashed red potato\twice bake, and a roasted tomato soup.
