In my freezer!!
So around Memorial Day my local big box grocer has spares on sale for $1.87/lb. these are trimmed to St Louis cut but they include the tips in the package. I like tips and saves me the work of trimming. I pick up 3 slabs, cook two and freeze one. (Not to mention the 2 bone in butts for $.98/lb for for the freezer too).
4th of July rolls around and they run the same sale. I buy 3 slabs, cook one and freeze two.
Today I walk into Sam's Club and they have Smithfield Prime Reserve untrimmed spares (two slabs to a package) on Managers Special reduced to $1.98/lb. they have 6-7 packs labeled this way.
So the questions is how many packs can I get away buying with the following facts...
1. My wife is with me...AND
2. I already have a tri-tip and a two pack of London Broil in the cart...AND
3. We have just spent over $400 in the past week on the kitchen for paint, new faucet, new blinds and other supplies.
I chickened out and only bought one pack...so now the question is...
1. Do I sneak back tomorrow and buy some more for the freezer and hope she doesn't notice?
2. Do I defrost some of the ribs in the freezer to smoke this weekend or just use the new ones?
The problems we Brethren face....
