It does tend to be more expensive than other meats. The price varies a
lot. I always keep and eye out for lamb shanks because the price of them
seems to vary more than the other cuts, and I am talking about prices
often being double their lows. I tend to get it only when the prices are
down. My local grocery store sells rolled up boneless legs, usually
around 2-1/2 pounds, and they run $11-12 when prices are down, $19-24
when prices are up.
