Hi all,

Thought I would share this with you all. My butcher I get almost all my meat from calls me today. He tells me he is having a special on rib roasts and rib eye stake due to over ordering by his partner. Choice is $5.99, and select is $4.79 per pound. I decide why not, I can get a rib roast and smoke that up for the 14th, and save the hassles and wait of going out, and have a much better dinner. I select 2 choice rib roasts 1 is 4.5# other is almost 5# I ask him if he will wrap them for the freezer and naturally he does. He takes them and goes to the back to wrap them up, he comes back with 3 packages. He hands me the roasts and then says this is on me, it's a couple stakes, for you guys. When I checked out The total bill was less then I was expecting, I checked the bill and realized the roasts were marked wrong, I went back in and told Brad he had made a mistake on the roasts, they were marked the select price. His reply my mistake your gain. 
 
that right there is why we make friends w/ the good ones!
 
Send that butcher a nice bottle of the beverage of his choice. OFTEN!

On an unrelated note, since the 14th is rapidly approaching, why not get one of those bad boys out of the freezer and dry age for a few days? There was a lot of talk about it at Christmastime around here and it's supposed to just put the flavor over the top.

Agreed.

Common practice around these parts to send the local butcher/mechanic a bottle every so often to let em know you appreciate what they do.
 
[h1]Great to see posts about good folks: one=a good butcher made you a good deal and two=you for being honest about the marked prices and bill. Good things come to good folks. Glad you shared this sparky. [/h1]
 
Sorry I missed this one...... Cool deal.......To bad we dont have butcher shops around here. I think there are a few but they are very high dollar franchises.......

I'm glad you said this.  I thought it was just this area that didn't have any butchers.
