Cost of beef
I'm sure this will vary with the news source, but I heard to expect a 45% increase in the cost of beef in US. Due to drought conditions. Coffee is going way up, too.

The whole beef strip has my attention but I'll call them first to see if the tenderloin is included in the cut. Even if it isn't it'll still be a bargain for my sight. For the amount of beef we eat in a year a full strip should last all 12 months.
What USDA Grade are these cuts? Choice? Select?
There is a pretty fair discount for Select, over the better Choice. If those are Choice cuts, those are pretty darn good prices.
Make sure any grade you look at, is an official USDA grade, NOT what some retailer says it is. It will be stamped on each package. If it does not say USDA -------, then it is NOT a USDA grade.
The store in question only sells "USDA Choice" or " USDA Prime". In all the years I've shopped there never seen a sale on "Prime" but hey one can dream and hope to live for that day:D.
Should you be in the NE region the name of the store is Stew Leonard's and there are several locations. Their prices are sooo good at least twice a year I rent a car just to go shopping there and fill the car and ultimately my freezer to the gills. Very worthy:).Roy&Lynne wrote:
I was wondering what was going on, I turned vegan a couple years ago and so never noticed the price of beef until my brother asked me to pick up some ground beef for him. I was shocked. TVP for me.
What is TVP? And why do so many people now days find it too much trouble to communicate with others? Is taking the extra 3 seconds that much of a bother?
Don't take this as a direct slam on you as it is a general trend these days that I find to be rude and uncaring to the reader and I don't understand why people do it.
On edit I see a later poster took the time to spell it out but I stand by my point. Why do so many people do this today?- Pictures from my shopping spree this last week.
Beef short ribs and brisket
Burnt ends from the point
The pork shoulder crying out for a roll

Super Dave and others who buy relatively large amounts of meat:
You might check out restaurant supply houses. We have a local one here in Boise and I seem to remember pork shoulders for about $1.50/lb or so. You had to buy a vacuum sealed bag of 2 (about 15 - 20 lbs). The last time I bought them, I smoked one and froze the other. I'm waiting for it to warm up a little more before I get a couple more for smoking.

Just bought 2- 8 lb pork shoulders from the market around the corner from me for $1.69/lb and I was peeved it wasn't still .99/lb, LOL.
Divvied one up to make Latin style roast pork, some strips of Shanghai roast pork and shredded pork. There are only 2 of us so that's enough meat for several meals. A lot of it went through the Food Saver and is now in the freezer.
The second roast (Latin style) went to the home of a friend who had a death in the family.
All the bones were retained to make stock.
