I checked the online ads just before St. Patrick's Day. Publix,
$3.79/lb. That's 30 cents less than usual for St. Paddy's. Naturally,
they ran out of it. Food Lion's price was $3.99/lb. which is about the
norm that time of year. They ran out of it, too.

The man who was re-stocking the meat case at Publix tried to steer me
towards Boar's Head brand corned beef. It was in the produce section.
$10.99/lb. Not at that price! I love corned beef brisket and usually
buy two of them and freeze one when the price dips to $3.99/lb.

I could check and see if, for some odd reason, they got more in stock
and the price will be $3.99 or less right before the end of May...
