Sales this week...

[Gonna Smoke]

...are kind of weak in my area. Nobody around me really has a deal on corned beef, last week neither. Kind of different, but not surprising with this inflation.
Food Lion has St. Louis ribs for $2.99/lb and 10 lb. bags of leg quarters for $5.90 each. 5 lb. bags of Russets for $2.50 a bag. Ok deals, but not "I've got to run out and get that!" deals.

Kroger has whole beef tenderloins and snowcrab legs for $12.99/lb. and the only "deal" this week on corned beef. Their store brand is $3.99/lb.

KJ's has cabbage for 39¢/lb. I've got some of that fermenting as we speak, also put some in the freezer. First time for that, but @buzzy does it and recommends it so I'm doing it, too.. Also whole pork loins for $1.59/lb. The ad doesn't say if that's boneless or not and I didn't look when I went.

Publix has USDA Choice top sirloin steaks for $5.99/lb. OK price if you need some. Medium lobster tails $13.99/each, I'm running right out to stock up...lol and snowcrab legs for $17.99/lb. Gonna stock up on them, too...lol.

Not many real good deals this week or at least to me...

Food Lion in my area also has Choice T-Bones @ $7.99/lb. and whole Butts @ 1.59/lb. as well as the St. Louis ribs @ 2.99/lb. When you've posted their sales in the past, they're normally the same. I go to the Inwood, WV store.

Yep, same sales here. If they would just cut those T-bones at the store level, they would be a great deal, but they never have one in the counter over maybe 1" thick...

Heh, shiners huh.... I normally don't have that problem.

Yeah deals are weak here in Dallas too.
Being in beef country there are always Choice grade steaks for $4.99-$6.97 a pound. This week has T-Bones at one store and bone in Ribeye for $6.97/lb. Other than that nothing special.

I FINALLY saw a really good sale on canned tuna which I thought would be happening a bit more this time of year (Lenten season). There are normal kind sales on it but this is $0.49/can on Chicken of the Sea one time purchase digital app deal, limit of 8 total at Tom Thumb. It's a shame those on digital deals are not repeatable. Like they are not repeatable even in a different store, but oh well. 8 cans will be fine for me at that price for making salads and Tuna cheddar mac on Fridays when the only meat I'm eating is fish or eggs :)

The only problem I have with shiners is I want to drink em all and that don't agree with me these days hahaha... Shiner Bock that is :D

 

[normanaj]

Market Basket has a chain-wide grand opening in all stores and there's really nothing outstanding on sale though.We're gonna stick to buying the majority of our meats at Aldis.

I too used to imbibe Shiner Bock with the same outcome. Great beer, I have some pint glasses a buddy got from a DC BBQ/bar.

Oh yeah buddy its good stuff and that's the kind of glass to drink it from! :D

I only drink about 5-6 times a year since it makes me so damn sick for days after, but I find myself drinking Shiner Light Blonde and Shiner Bock a lot when I do.

The light blonde is damn good and you would never know its 99 calories and less than 4gm net carb per beer. All that makes a difference when I tie one on and drink like 15+ in that day :D hahaha

 

[clifish]

Nothing great here either. One local chain is doing bone in porterhouse for $7.99

 

[Steve H]

Ribeyes at 6.99 a pound at save a little. Not much else here.

I just read about a farmers fertilizer bill in 2020 was $300k in 2022 it will be $800k so expect these beef prices to go thru the roof soon.
They can’t afford to plant grains to feed the animals.

 

[chopsaw]

Beef prices here are down a bit , and poultry is up again . Just like the last time it cycled .
Pork is up but about the same as it has been .

I was in Home Depot last week and a bag of Scott's weed and feed was $80!!!! Between that and gas I can't imagine what my weekly landscaping bill is going to be?

 

[Fueling Around]

Not looking for deals. I've got less than 2 weeks to clean out the freezer and pack up.

Where? Last fall MAP our primary granular fertilizer doubled in price and was getting scarce. Anhydrous ammonia inventory was even tighter.

 

[SmokyMose]

About the only "sales" around here are shoulder butts and everyone has them for $1.49#.
Any kind of beef is ridiculous, even at GFS...

Beef prices on strip loins and briskets dropped 50 cents a pound here . Maybe check back when they get the next load .

It's just so frustrating. About all I usually get there is brisket and boneless butt (and spices and nitrile gloves). The last time I was there they had a 12# packer for $60.
That's about twice what it was a couple of years ago.
You never know what you're going to find, though. I had just left Meijer where they've changed their "family packs" of ground 80/20 from 3# to 2# and they were asking $5.99# which I refused to pay. Swung by GFS and saw this:

I've been leary about those pre-packaged chubs because when there's a recall that's what it usually is but for $3.49# I'll take a chance.

So much more there depending on what you like . I have bought the ground beef , but usually buy a brisket and grind it up , or use trim from other things .
Brisket here is $4.59 a pound . That's down 50 cents from a week ago . So when Ground beef gets up in price it's cheaper to grind a brisket .
I've also started mixing the ground beef with ground pork . Which lowers the cost even more . Makes a good burger , and great for tacos , meatballs or meat sauce .
