    Fareway has chicken hindquarters for $0.39/lb 10 lb max, pork sausage for $1.99/lb 20 lb max, and 85/15 ground beef for $2.99/lb 20 lb max. Hy-Vee has whole chickens for $0.99/lb. Just saw these prices in today's ads for each store. Thought I would share in case anyone was interested.

    That's better than what I saw at Hy-Vee, think it was $1.89 per pound. Also better than Fareway, in their 2 day sale ad for Friday and Saturday they are $1.79 per pound, limit of 2.  Thanks for the heads up!!
