Boneless chuck roast, $2.99/lb. I haven't seen a deal like that in a
while. I'll probably buy a couple of roasts and put them in the
freezer. Good for a crock pot-roast. Possibly the other one cut into
cubes and cooked for beef and onion pie. Or cut into strips and grilled
on skewers. marinated, most likely.

That's a good price. I could do a lot of things with a couple of those
chuck roasts.

I wonder why the price of meat is coming down? I had pretty much been
rationing the meat for a while here and now all of a sudden I am drowning in
the stuff!

It usually happens when they are reducing the stock so they can hike
the price up... but it's not happening here, so it's probably one of
those "shutdown sale" things.

In the same sales flyer, chicken cutlets are "on sale" for $4.49/lb.
Will I buy them? Not when I can get chuck roast for $2.99/lb!

I would never buy chicken anything for more than $1.50/lb. I usually
buy at half that price or so.

One year, right before SuperBowl, I had the urge to make buffalo
wings. The large package of wings were about $4.99 per pound. Yeah
right. Instead, I bought a cheap whole fryer for $0.69/lb and cut it
all up into small pieces. That's when I "invented" buffalo whole
chicken. Much more bang for your buck and still just as tasty.

Never saw them that high, but I won't even spend $2.29 for what I used
to buy for 5¢ a pound. Used to be so cheap until that SOB in Buffalo
screw up the market for them.

Really. The high price, I'm sure, was because it was just days from
Superbowl Sunday. Buffalo wings seem to be a tradition for that
weekend and the price skyrockets. Check out the prices next SB weekend
and compare to price now.

They lower the price of corned beef around St. Patrick's Day, the
price of turkey around Thanksgiving and the price of prime rib around
Christmas... so why wouldn't they lower the price of chicken wings
around super bowl time? Conclusion: either the people who follow
football are filthy rich or their arithmetic skills are weak.

Funny there. Raising prices during a time when many will buy a product
is just Economics 101 for all the evil corporate sellers. Charge as
much as the market will bear. And that's just smart business practice.

Very interesting though as you pointed out. One would think that
turkeys would cost a premium for Thanksgiving when they *know* that
many will be buying them.

That said, there's also the fact that if you put an item on sale (and
make less profit per item) you will sell many more. Often the volume
of cheaper sales can end up with more profit than selling a few at a
higher profit margin.

Didn't ya ever think that those holiday foods became tradional because
that was what there is a glut of at those times... Thanksgiving is
when turkeys mature and are slaughtered (pumpkin is harvested, apples
too), if the price was high few would buy them so they'd need to be
storaged, probably until they spoil. Easter is when there's a glut of
lamb and ham (spring is also when Peeps are harvested).

Cheap turkey gets you into the store. Add on fixings and beverages
brings in the profit.

Not around here they don't! I *never* see the great corned beef deals
others speak of around St. Patrick's Day. It was the same price when I
bought one in July as it was right before St. Paddy's.

Just that once! I don't usually like white meat chicken but these
were pretty tasty. That's why I noticed the price of cutlets in this
week's ad.

I'd have to go to Piggly Wiggly for that price (and buy the family pack,
which is fine). If I had some other reason to drive to that area I
might, but not just for chicken.

I see you're gonna buy some Fancy Feast and Bush's Grillin Beans.

That isn't going to be a regular occurrence, silly! The same neighbor
just called to ask if I have a bag of frozen peas for something she's
making. Unfortunately I don't (they're on my shopping list) otherwise
I'd have given them to her.

I have a big bag of frozen wings to do something with. I don't like
traditional buttery/hot wings but I like them deep fried. In my case,
shallow fried since i don't have a deep fryer.

I put them in a baking dish in the oven. One batch will be marinated in
teriyake sauce, the other in bbq sauce.

Haven't make wings in years. I coated mine with oil and baked them in
the oven, but I followed the hot sauce directions of combining butter
and Frank's.

When marinated and baked, drumsticks work for me. I used to love
"mahogany drumsticks". It was one of those recipes where you'd lined
the baking pan with foil to facilitate clean up - unless you're a
kitchen masochist. That's another one I haven't made in years. This
recipes looks pretty close, but I think it was regular soy sauce
instead of teriyaki sauce and I used hoi sin for sure.
http://www.tastebook.com/recipes/327...any-Drumsticks
It wasn't a stovetop preparation, like this recipe says. They were
marinated first and then baked in the oven for 45-60 minutes in the
marinade (if I remember that part correctly), turning often.

Mahogany Drumsticks
Serves 4

ingredients

1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic (fresh)
2 teaspoons finely chopped or grated ginger (fresh).
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
1/3 cup water (no water for the baked version)
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (may substitute 1 tablespoon cider or rice
vinegar - but the flavor is completely different, hoi sin is the key)
8 chicken drumsticks (or 2 pounds)

The government couldn't allow it. It's illegal for the government to

I can get them for that price and sometimes a little less. One local
chain only though - Market Basket. All the others, chuck is usually
$4.99 at least. I like the bone-in roasts and I use them in beef tagines
and for couscous.

Market Basket is very out of the way for me, but my husband will stop in
on Saturdays (The Worst Day -it's a zoo!) when he is in the area.

There is one in construction closer to me, but work has stopped because
of the bickering between the owners.

They're usually priced around $3.79/lb. $2.99/lb is remarkable!

Publix is coming into my region big time, three or four stores already
open, recently purchased 7 existing grocery stores to refurbish into
Publix stores, the closest one will be about 35 minutes away, highway
driving. So about 20 miles away. Shopped at one of them about three
times now for kicks, love the deli. I buy a Cuban sandwich when I go.

What kind of highways do you have? Here, 20 miles of highway is 15
minutes driving time. No congestion here.

Wow! What "region" is that? 10 stores? Why?

I've got one Publix within reasonable and regular shopping distance.
One is sufficient.
