Where do y'all buy your 123a plate short ribs? Local butcher shops want $12.99/lb. Is there a better way?
 
Is 1st order over $35/free shipping still at Wild Fork? That price is really good.
Not sure though I had to slap myself and empty my 108 dollar cart LOL. I was gonna get some angus plates, and one of those boneless turkey roasts and some flank steak for fajitas LOL. Like Amazon fkin crack dealers lol
 
Thanks for all the replies. Prices look pretty good on Wild Fork.

WF also has Black Angus choice plate ribs that are 20 cents/pound more than their Prime (which is not certified Black Angus), but I'm wondering if choice wouldn't be better for smoking just due to the sheer amount of fat in the prime (the photos of their prime cross section cuts look to be about 60% fat/40% muscle).

I get them at my local Hannafords ( ME, NH, VT, MA and NY) chain grocery store. Today they are $9.79 lb. Like negolien said you have to ask for them. I usually ask them to bring out a few packs so I can choose which ones look the best. They also have TriTip steak.

Yeah hard to say.. I was tempted to get some to but their price variance from cart to payment made me uncomfortable. Plenty of people use the company though so more a me problem i think

Every time I visit my son in NH to see if they put TT on sale, will now have to check out the dino ribs there as well.

No, short ribs got put on hold til after Thanksgiving. Gonna be smoking a turkey tomorrow.

Cool, Where'd you get your turkey? I was gonna do a bone in breast and a smaller turkey roast I got from wildforks.. Sadly my shifts turned into 13 days straight and the last 5 are 12 hour shifts lol including turkey day. I just got a pre cooked yardbird from safeway and i will cook the small boneless roast in the oven i guess. let us know how it went pics too please :<) I eneded up getting some of them prime plate ribs from wildfork little small but they look good and are prime.
