Byerly's is many things. It is *never* cheap. I suspect someplace
like the Holy Land would be much cheaper for lamb (though probably
not as convenient for you).

As a rule, I never buy meat at Byerly's--just too too ridiculous.
Cheese is another thing I could never afford if I bought it there.
Luckily, there is Surdyk's.
