Meat Sales

[reinhard1]

Good point Del.  Should have returned it to them.  I generally dont buy meat at Walmart but a choice packer brisket for 2.49 per pound would be hard to pass up on.  They do mark down close dated stuff like other stores.  Ya, Jim, the flat's [brisket flats] are always higher than the whole packer brisket.  You will see this in the corned beef briskets also when they sell the points and the flats.  Flats always go first, and for a reason, more meat and less fat.  good luck.

Just be sure, if the price at walmart seems really good, to check the sell by date. 

I got burned by that a few years ago.  Saw some meat, several packages, for a really good price, bought it home, got it out of the sealed package, it was bad.  Had to throw it all away. 

Now I always check the sell by date, and don't buy meat at walmart.  

Check close at places. Target redates their meat....ever see a tag over another? I have, numerous times. Pulled it off; redated! That's another reason I won't walk in there. OH Del, Fareway has some great thick pig chops on sale at  $1.88 lb, and rump roast at $3.49 lb, pig roast loins at $1.99 lb. Better check 'em out.....

I ended up buying the one at Costco, but as Reinhard said, it was pretty hard to pass up.

Hy-Vee had this stuff on "sale"...my god, do people REALLY eat this?!

[reinhard1]

That's a sale price on 80/20 lean at Cubs for example when on sale.  Some Cubs don't even handle 73% anymore due to that type not selling in certain areas.  good luck.

FRAZEE, Minn. (AP) - The operator of a meat market in western Minnesota, his nephew and another man have been charged with taking snapping turtles out of season.

The state Department of Natural Resources in June seized nearly 1.5 tons of turtle meat, 243 shells and 23 live snapping turtles from Ketter's Meats and Locker Plant in Frazee.

State law prohibits taking snapping turtles in May and June. DNR Capt. Stacey Sharp tells the Star Tribune (http://strib.mn/1iyPY64 ) the next task for investigators is to determine how much of what was seized was actually from turtles taken out of season.

The market's owner, 54-year-old Kevin Ketter; his 21-year-old nephew, Jordan Ketter; and a market employee, 54-year-old Darwin Bartel, were charged by citation with misdemeanors.

Kevin Ketter told The Associated Press Monday he had no comment.

You better head over there to see what it's all about Del, and forget that silly over-priced Hy-Vee. 

[eyeguy 54]

[RebelSS]

Picked up my 8 lbs of it. Set for the Winter.

Picked up my 8 lbs of it. Set for the Winter.  

Mostly I use the costco hormel black label precooked bacon.  It is so convenient if what you want is some bacon, as opposed to bacon fat or wrapped in bacon. 

And it's good.

[RebelSS]

I've used the Black Label, but find it way too salty for me...and the price!!! Whoa!   After trying almost every brand I could find, except some of he specialty ones, (and NOT including butcher shop bacon, which is the best) I like the Farmland thick-sliced apple wood smoked the best. A lot less salty too, doing some brand comparison sodium rating.

[delcecchi]

The precooked is really handy.   But I like Farmland too.   It is good bacon.
