5.99lb for ribs at my local Costco. I just can’t right now with these prices.

Last night, my brother told me that is what he is paying thru a meat distributor he buys his product for his bbq biz.  Going to have to up his prices for the 2nd or 3rd time this season.

Don't really know, i/ve been laid up from the aftermath of a mild stroke in mid July and am still in rehab. hospital.  I hope to go home next week.

hughver, so sorry to hear about your stroke.  I hope everything is going in the right direction and you have a quick return home.

+1 on that

hope to see you around on here more frequently when you are back home.

Had not seen you and knew something was up, just did not want to hear it was this.  Well, you are able to get back on, that is good for us and a good sign.  You will be in my prayers!

THanks, left side function has not returned. makes typing tough.

$5.48/# for baby back ribs and $3.48/# for bone in pork shoulders at Sam's today

I didn't buy either

The ribs are high but not outrageous, I would never buy any at that price personally.  But a cut that is usually .99¢ to $1.49/lb. at that price is straight up manipulation and inflation!

Pre-covid those same ribs were $2.99-$3.49

A grocery chain here in WI (Festival Food) has whole bone in pork butts for $1.00 a pound. Haven't seen that price in a long time.

stock up

Do you not ask yourself the question why some of this meat is so cheap.  I know food prices are skyrocketing however I would prefer to buy less to get quality over quantity.

I don't because I feel I can make it taste good even if the quality is lower.  Also, some of this stuff is potentially good quality.  It possibly could be that the supply chain had product not being used for the restaurant industry that they felt they could liquidate through the mass retail channel.

Fredericksburg, VA 1/7/22, look at the price in reply #10 from July...gives me hope for beef one day.  Loin up .20¢/lb and belly up about .90¢/lb.  Still better then $4.90/lb. for the bacon at Costco.
