I never noticed this because I'm not a big fan of meat and the sizes the
packages come in are way too big. I'd be more interested if the meat was
cheaper but it ain't. OTOH, prime rib this year would be pretty festive
and special so one of these roasts could be in my future. OTOH, at a
cost of $8/lb, I just might chicken out. :-)
