So I went this morning and had them cut one into 4 bone in steaks.. They are Premium cuts... Kinda wished I would have told them just to make them about 1 1/2" thick now... they just cut in between bones... ended up being 2"+ thick... All vac sealed and in freezer ...

Got an decent one at Market Street for $4.47. Albertson has cheap ones but don't look that great. Found real good one at Kroger of all places for $4.97. All ready did shopping at Albertson and needed to spend $25 at Kroger so Bought a 12 pack of Shiner Holiday and 12 pack Modelos.

My Giant Market in Trexlertown has $4.97 (choice Rib Roast) , limited to one per customer.
If it was normal shopping, I'd get the biggest one they have & cut it up myself.
However they will be doing the shopping, and we will just pick-up, so I get what they pick.

So since I already have 3 Prime Ribs in my freezer, I'll cut this one into steaks, whatever size it is.

On Edit: That price I mentioned above was actually $4.67, not $4.97.

I posted on another thread that Winco had whole beef rib roasts for $4.98/lb, $5.98/lb in portions. I cut them into those big cowboy steaks. Soooo good.

 

[gmc2003]

Besides the two 6lb rib roasts I picked up. I also got a ham shank @ 1.99/lb,

 

[MJB05615]

Kroger here is $6.99 /lb. Publix is $5.49 /lb, which is the lowest in several years. I grabbed another one this morning from Publix. Beefapalooza indeed!
Those huge steaks look great Keith, what are they like 3 lbs each?

 

[SmokinAl]

I wonder why rib roasts are so cheap this year?
I have a freezer full of meat, so I won’t be buying more, but I almost want to just go get a few, cause they are so cheap!

[JckDanls 07]

If I recall Al.. I believe Publix always has them at that price for a few weeks at Christmas time ..

 

[noboundaries]

I've been watching the prices for the last three weeks at Winco. First prices I saw were $7.98/lb whole, $8.98/lb portioned. The next time I shopped, about 10 days later, both had dropped $1/lb. Then this morning another $2/lb drop. The only reason I didn't buy a whole one this morning is my inside and garage freezers are full.

 

[Bearcarver]

Best times for Prime Rib (Standing Rib Roast) are:
Christmas
Easter
Thanksgiving
But the Best of the best, every year is usually Christmas Week.
