Got one on sale here in Culpeper, Va yesterday.  Regular price was $5.99 a pound and sales price was $3.99.  Our meat prices seem to go up every week!

Funny I remember people saying they would never pay $3.00/# for brisket. Now this price is a steal.

That is bad news.  So I figure you can tack on about $2/lb. to every piece of Beef in Costco.  Will be curious next week when we go to see if ground beef is $5/lb.

Were still $2.79/lb yesterday here.
Probably should have bought another, but got ribs instead for $2.99/lb.

Sam's Club ground beef was less than $4.  Choice strip steaks were $11 and filet mignon $20.

There is a local farmers market that one of the sellers is advertising grass fed beef and I am tempted by this.  But what grade would it be.  They also have halves of pigs and beef.  Has anyone bought from an individual farmer?

Technically it would not be graded, but I understand what you are asking.  I am not sure if you are aware of the differences between a corn/grain finished beef and grass fed?  It will have less muscular fat, but will be higher in Omega-3' & other nutrients,.  Grass fed has always had a slightly metallic flavor for me.  I have heard some say a slightly gamey flavor, but I have never noticed that.  To me no matter the grade, corn fed is always more tender.  But if you are in the medium or less temperature range for cooking, I think that mitigates some of that!

Thinking there will be a lot of meat that will be thrown out at the meat departments all across the land as demand drops off due to higher prices.  Keep an eye out for deals as they try to get rid of older stock.
As they say in the commodity markets: “The cure for higher prices is higher prices.” Demand drops off and they have to lower prices to get rid of excess inventory.

I bit the bullet last week and bought a ~16 lb packer for $5.11/lb at Restaurant Depot. 

Unfortunately the baby back ribs and Boston butt prices were higher than my grocery store…and not a discount grocery store either.
I wanted baby backs but chose not to spend the $60+ on a 3-rack package. It was half that last year.

Side note since it’s been asked before…RD had tons of chicken wings. Both whole wings and cut up party wings. Price was in the $3/lb range and I think boxes were 40 lbs.

I found frozen Tyson wings at Sam's for $2.50/# for 10# bag on Saturday.  Ribs were $4.89/#.  I ended up buying two racks at Aldi for $3.12/#.  Will see how they are.  I am sure I will have to run them under water to remove the solution they use in the bag.  Brisket was about the prices that you mentioned, Ralphie.
