Sometimes bargains just happen

Post by ssorllih » Fri Mar 23, 2012 18:57

I had to go to the dentist today.(don't ask). On the way home I stopped at Safeway to fill a prescription. In the meat case was two packs of fresh butts for .69 per pound. I bought all five packages.

Great price , Ross. Lucky you; except for the dentist part! That's a lot of bacon and hams, or will you do something else with some of it?

Some will get cut for roasts and some for chops, probably grind some for sausage. I have a friend who is getting started and he has asked to buy one package.
