It helps they have good prices. Whole chickens $.69/lb, thick cut NY
Strip Steaks, $4.99 lb. brisket probably $.99/lb in the ad from a week
or 2 before the ad I got these prices from....


Best prices for those items in MN, $1.29/lb for whole chickens, $6.99/lb
for strip steaks, brisket $1.98/lb(at Walmart)
