Michigan Meat Prices

[redneckman]

I am new to BBQ this year and am still getting into what deals are good for ribs, brisket, butts, etc.  I figured maybe it would be a good idea for people to post what they have been paying for a cut of meat and where at.  It might give someone like myself an idea of what is a high price, and what is a steal of a deal!

My dad found some spare ribs for 27bucks today.  He could not remember the weight, but it seems a little high to me.

I got a slab of pork ribs two weeks ago and it was about 12 bucks. I also got some pork tenderloins for 3.60 a lb. I didn't think that was to bad of a price.

Got a slab of baby backs from Glens in Cadillac for $4.99/lb.  They are currently on the smoker!

Chicken wings will be high until the Super bowl is over. Saw em for $2.17 a pound at Sam's club in Utica last night. They had pork loin on special for $1.99/lb. I paid a $1.88 for country ribs and whole pork butts were around $1.69/lb. Chicken, legs and thighs we're pretty cheap though. Brisket was average $35-$45 a flat (can't recall details, sorry).

Hmm, sounds good MadKaw, thanks.

I may have to check my Meijer's store tomorrow!

Thanks Mad Kaw!  They had an area with them and I picked up 5 slabs of them today.  I have only done baby backs, so this will be something new for me.  They look good.  I think the first weekend with warm weather up here they will be on the smoker!
