are boneless country style ribs with out the bone? 

Yup. Just a nice hunk of meat. I like them because they marinate easy.

 

 

The boneless drumsticks come from here.

96% ground beef? Is that even possible?

[reinhard1]

Yes Del.  This has been sold for some time.  The meat is tested at the plant by the Fed inspectors.  As far as I know you have 96%, 93%, 85%, 80% and 75% ground beef being sold at this time.  Of course the 96% would not be used for burgers but as for hot dishes and sauces and for folks that need to cut down on fat.  good luck.

[delcecchi]

What cut on beef and what grade makes it possible to get 96% lean?  That's like boneless skinless turkey breast territory.   I've seen the 93, but 96 is hard to figure unless they have some sort of fat separating process. 

[reinhard1]

I'm guessing they are all cuts from the round.  Cow trim was used a lot years ago, which was very lean [Dairy type cow].  We used to grind from the round to make "ground round", or also "ground sirloin" which would be in that category.  I watched ground beef being tested.  The inspectors would have this gizmo that would fry a small sample patty and that had a plastic clear tube underneath that would measure the fat content from the drippings from the amount of meat tested.  Large amounts of boneless shank meat from the front quarter would be used to lean up meat as well.  good luck.

I just bought six more lbs of those .99 ribs before sale ends tomorrow.

Just tell him cows from India, RH. No fat anywhere.

Cub had those $3.88 bb ribs.  Sign said "save 11 cents a pound"   Holy savings!!!   I'm thinking if I bought 200 pound I'd save $2.20.

[reinhard1]

I'm waiting to see what Target has for Memorial Day week.  Usually have a great price that week and Labor Day week on ribs.  good luck.

No, you would have saved $22.00.    Where's that article about US math skills......

[leechlake]

my math was based also on the time value of money with the ribs sitting in my freezer vs an investment at 5% that's why I deducted the $19.80.  Note:  I didn't include freezer electricity cost because that is a "sunk cost" since my freezer was already going to be on.  

I take offense. I was the dumbest kid in advanced math at Valley View Jr High in Edina three years running and I used my iPhone calculator to come up with $2.20.  I'm the victim in this...

 

[delcecchi]

Good point about opportunity cost.  Cost you more than you "save", depending on how fast you can eat 200 pounds of ribs. Now if you invite Reinhardt and boar over, you might have some saving left.

When I was at Sam's on Friday they had fresh boneless chicken breast for $1.99 which is pretty much there everyday price but they also listed a case price of $1.56 which consisted of 6 packs that I estimated would be around 36lbs of boneless chicken breast. Could not help but think about ordering some of the garlic sausage mix and whipping up a batch or 3

Ground turkey for 6.99 a pound isn't much of a deal......  See someone reads your stuff. 

[reinhard1]

Thanks Del.  It won't let me correct this but it should have been 6.99 each.  thanks again.  Senior moment.  good luck.
