We are about 10 miles from the Texas border and have some pretty good prices
but nothing like I saw when I lived closer to Houston.

Here are some deals we found lately...

Pork sausage - $1 (OK, it wasn't the best sausage I've ever had)

Pork Ribs - $1.38 a pound

Beef Ribs - 99 cents a pound

Beef brisket - 99 cents a pound untrimmed... $1.89 trimmed

Whole chickens - 69 cents a pound

Picnic ham - 99 cents a pound (used to make beans)

chicken leg quarters - 39 cents a pound

pork shoulder steaks - $1.29 a pound

"assorted pork chops" $1.27 a pound

pork "country style" ribs - $1.00 a pound

We cleaned up when we found a bunch of packages of Smithfield bacon near
expiration date for $1.00 each (pound pkg)

The best grocery deal we found recently was a carton of 18 large eggs for
$1.38
