My HEB has pork butts for 89 cents per pound with a limit of 2 per person.

Thought I'd pass along the heads up.

LOL! What an image!

I have 2 in the freezer from the last sale. Waiting until it cools off
to make them.

How is that "value beef"? I've not gotten up the nerve to try it. We
usually get USDA Choice rib eyes at Sam's.

I paid $1.18 for lettuce.

My Gawd, you're saving yourself right into the poor house. But
they paid you to haul off that chicken, so that's a plus. They're
mostly $6.99 and $7.99 around here, but BJ's Club is still
selling them for $4.99 which ain't bad.

Holy cripes, those are some bargains. Those bone in ribeyes are 9.99/
lb locally.
