Meat Sales

[Leaky]

Thanks for the heads up! I still have a hard time understanding why BBs are more expensive than St. Louis Cuts. For the smoker, there is no comparison for me.

If you aren't you can go to Sams and get that price any time.....

[Leaky]

Del - Are you saying $2.49 is normal price at Sams for St Louis? I have a Costco Card I haven't used for a long time. I wonder if it's the same there? I have about a dozen racks in the freezer @ $1.97, but when they aren't on sale for that, $2.49 is as good as it gets.

I think the swine flu may have driven the prices down. I thought Sam's normal price was something like $3.49 to $4.49 earlier this summer.

[reinhard1]

[SkunkedAgain]

Again?!? I got one the other week, slice half of it and smoked the other half. Outstanding out of the smoker although I had to finish it in the broiler. I'll go get another!

[reinhard1]

i'm doing four of them with Thirdeye's canadian bacon cure. wonderfull stuff. good luck.

[OnAFly]

I've made CB out of those, but I soaked out the salt solution they have in them. I also took one a smoked in tow pieces, then cut it into chops and froze those in 4-packs. Now I can just pull the smoked chops out of the freezer, thaw, coat in a little EVOO and throw them on the grill. They are wonderful!

I'll have to pick another up just for this

[old goose hunter]

I don't know if it is at all cub foods or not but, last night the wife and

I were at cub in Buffalo and they have a 3 day sale on thick cut bacon in

aprox. 3lb. packs for $1.99 per lb. Sale runs Thursday-Saturday. I laid in

5 packs just over 15lbs. Have to do a little vaccum sealing tonight.

FYI, yesterday found a Von Hanson's buy one get one baby back ribs coupon in the mail.

[atvlaska]

stopped at the super walmart in Fridley today. 1.98 for spare ribs, 1.78 lb for spareribs frozen in a two pac. 1.98 lb for whole beef texas ribs and the had large whole beef packer briskets [seen some 16 pounds] for 2.59 lb. good luck.

whole beef texas ribs ...are these all meat...without the "burger notch"...where they took the meat out?

[lispeej]

Cubs in st.louis park has hormel value pack spare ribs going for $1.59 a pound. This is the one off of hwy7 and Texas ave. I bought 8 packs.

[Leaky]

Coborns in Mora (not sure if all of them are doing this) is selling a meatloaf dinner for $5.00 in the Deli. Big chunk of loaf, a bun and your choice of 2 sides ( you can also pick from anything that they have in the cold salad part of the deli).

Dinner tonight is tasty meat loaf, a gig glob of cheesy potatoes and and their pea & cheese salad.

Heck, you can't get a Big Mac meal for that.

[masoct3]

Hormel also adds a salt additive. I tried it once and had to reduce the salt.

Costco - St. Louis Park

OMG....So I picked up a package of baby backs for $25. However, there are three full slabs in the package. I actually smoked all of them today and they were grrrrrrreat!

[Leaky]

Mean't to post this a couple of days ago, but Rainbow has 80/20 Ground Chuck (not the stuff in a tube) going for $1.98. Limit one per visit for 3 lb package. It won't get any better than that for the best all around burger you can buy.

Well, I igorantly grabbed 2, put in my basket and headed for the self serve checkout. Been there 3 times - sale end Sat. Might need to go once more.

Stock up if you have a chance - Won't see ground chuck at this price much any more.

I was driving through Nebraska on my way to Denver recently and saw hundreds of cows standing in their own feces. It was a terrible sight. I am not sure if it was a dual slaughter house.

Then, I saw other very large land of cows grazing in grass, more than they can chew up. This is what cows eat, but unfortunately, it runs about $8/pound. A big difference in price.

[Leaky]

Cub is running bone in pork loin packs for $1.29 Lb Limit one per trip. The one I picked up had 7 nice chops, 6 meaty country style ribs and a good sized roast. For 12 Bucks, thats about 6 meals for our family of 3. I think I have room in the freezer for another. I don't mind paying a little extra for bone in exchange for the added flavor it provides. Love chewing on a pork chop bone.

[OnAFly]

I saw those the other day. That's a great price!

Not sure if this was advertised or not, but today my Target in North St. Paul had whole turkeys for $.79 lb, and turkey breasts for $.99 lb. Love those turkey breasts on the smoker.

[RumRiverRat]

Been wanting to try a turkey breast in the smoker. I'm going to check Target in Blaine tomorrow. Thats a great price and a nice weekend project.
