Corned beef is never on sale the way people talk about here where I
live, either. Wow, that is one bad sentence. Anyway, if I saw
corned beef at under 2 bucks a pound, I'd be all over that, too.
It's closer to $4 on sale. I always check after St. Patrick's Day,
but they might go for 50 cents a pound less than before. Maybe.
