Found a Choice Packer
 
$2.99 a pound. Did not think that was a bad price. After all the talk about beef prices on the media, I expected to see $4.99 a pound.

wish I could find one here for that price...

Fire the smoker up...

Nice was a local place or a national chain?

A regional grocery store chain, Albertsons.

Walmart has been carrying them for $2.99/lb as well.

anyone have any luck at Denver Albertsons? i may have to make a stop on the way home to check.

Im going to have to go check our local albertsons! Walmart had a select for 2.99 a pound around 14lbs, it looked really bad, large brown spots on it and stiff.

A month or two back I caught a bunch of Choice packers at Wal-Mart for 1.97 a pound.
I bought a lot of them up, ground them, smoked them, yada yada yada.
I went back some time last week, and all the prices are at 2.45 a pound (what I usually pay at Costco for choice grade) and they're all select.

Ahhh, Wal-Mart.

I picked up 2 choice packers tonight for $2.48/lb at HEB. I would have bought more but my freezer is already full. Went to get loin backs that were on sale but totally forgot to get them.

I checked the prime packers at Costco this weekend in KC, they were $3.69/lb.

Parruthead 04-17-2014 08:49 PM

Packers at Sam's were Excel USDA Choice and were $2.89 or $3.19 IIRC.
