That's kind of high for bottom round... $1.69-$1.89/lb here in
hillybilly NY... I usually get top round for $2.49/lb.

Bottom round is better for pot roast/stew but if you don't mind very
lean then you can dry roast it same as top round... be sure to remove
all the silver skin and that big wedge of gristle, then tie with
butcher twine before roasting. I think it's better sliced cold the
next day.

Top round here in Texas is running about $3.79.
Bottom round is only about 50 cents per lb. cheaper.

Kroger used to do a beef sale a couple times a year too. We'd get a
whole rib eye for (IIRC)4.99/pound or so and they'd slice it for you
free. I haven't seen that sale in ages.

No Randall's in San Marcos. :-(
Just HEB and Wal-mart.

When I stock up on meat in Austin, I generally go to My Thanh and
Fiesta.....

Wish I got the Randall's ads! I do get the Sun Harvest ads and they have
killer deals on veggies, and chicken on some weeks.

Hopefully, prices will be sane again soon now that Japan is buying our
beef again. :-) I miss the sirloin sales too, even tho' I had to
tenderize the steaks.
