prices for ribs
Hi guys
I am new to the US and have been looking at prices of ribs since arriving 3 weeks ago. For winter is $13 high for a rack of spares? that is the average price I could find in the supermarkets here in Reno. I am imagining that the price will be lower in the summer? thanks.

You have to tell us how big the rack is, really meaty spares that might be a good price. really small trimmed ones that might be expensive.

You are better off giving the price/lb. Right now, in KC, a couple stores are running sales on spares @ $1.99/lb which seems to be decent for this time of year IMO.

At the local grocery store here they're $6.99/lb. At BJ's or Costco it's normally $3.49/lb and $2.99/lb on special.

Right now here in NJ, two local butchers have them on special at $1.99 a pound for pork spare ribs (not Baby Backs).
I just bought 2 cases for Superbowl Sunday. |
