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.
