Default Can you top this?

Someone else's post about chicken prices got me thinking about other things
bought throughout the States, too. What sale items are an especially good
price in your area, that you might go out of your way for or purchase on an
'off' shopping day?

I look for these sales in the circulars, then sometimes stock up:

Whole chicken fryers - $.69 / lb
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts - $1.79 / lb
Dungeness crab clusters - $3.99 / lb
Snow crab clusters - $3.99 / lb
Fresh salmon filets - $3.99 / lb
Fresh tilapia filets - $4.99 / lb
Fresh catfish filets - $4.59 / lb
Ocean scallops - $6.99 / lb
Whole (or butt portion) beef tenderloin - $7.99 / lb
Ribeyes - $4.99 / lb
T-Bones - $4.99 / lb
Top round - $2.50 / lb
93% lean ground beef - $2.39 / lb
Baby back ribs - $3.99 / lb
Whole pork tenderloin - $3.99 / lb
Brand name bacon - $2.50 / lb
Chunk cheddar - $2.99 / lb
Bumble Bee Chunk Light Tuna - $.33 per can (in a 4-pak)

When the additive-free chicken is on sale for .99 I buy that instead of
the regular stuff @ .69 at aldi, or the leg quarters for .40 .

> Boneless, skinless chicken breasts - $1.79 / lb


This is one of the few things that is more expensive at aldi than on
sale at the grocery store. I bought some @ 1.67/# a few weeks ago, but
anything under $2 a pound is good in my book.

Yum! My husband won't eat seafood except for shrimp and swordfish.

> Whole (or butt portion) beef tenderloin - $7.99 / lb

I like the bone-in rib steaks. those are some good prices, tho

> Top round - $2.50 / lb
> 93% lean ground beef - $2.39 / lb


I wait till whatever "hamburger" is on sale for .99 a pound, but only
from certain stores. One of the few things i won't buy at aldi. I have
tried using the lower fat % ground beef, but my hamburgers come out too
dry (at least the well ones do)

> Baby back ribs - $3.99 / lb
> Whole pork tenderloin - $3.99 / lb


I buy the half loins at $2 a pound or less and cut them into chops.
prefer bone-in, though.

> Brand name bacon - $2.50 / lb


My favorite bacon is never this cheap, but if I need it for a recipe, I
can always find it at aldi for 2.00.

> Chunk cheddar - $2.99 / lb


Once in a while the krogers here have their 1/2 pound chunks of cheese
(and the 12 oz packages of american) for .99. Aldi is 1.49, so I try to
stock up when i see that particular sale (I find that, if you are
shredding it anyhow, freezing doesn't mess up cheddar and mozz too badly.)
> Bumble Bee Chunk Light Tuna - $.33 per can (in a 4-pak)


once in a while, the meijer brand goes to 4/$1.00. I'm not sure why I
bother to stock up, though, because I always seem to have 875 cans in
the pantry

When bell peppers are on sale for .99 a pound or less, I buy a few
pounds and dice them for freezing.

Pretty much everything else that I used to stock up on, now I just buy
at aldi. I have not noticed a difference in quality, but I tend to
purchase pretty basic things. I took a former friend of mine shopping
there, and she bought a ton of instant/boxed/canned stuff and she said
it was all comparable to the brands she was used to with the exception
of the canned ravioli.

I googled Edy's Slow Churned Ice Cream, but all I came up with was: Edy's
Slow Churned LIGHT ice cream -- is this what you are talking about? Is it
all LIGHT?
Thanks,

(Seattle area, me)

>Whole chicken fryers - $.69 / lb


I seem able to find these for $.59/lb about once a month. Usually
QFC.--Washington grown, always. I might buy frozen chicken that's
been shipped, but never fresh.

Nearest grocery to me (has a large Mexican-American clientele)
regularly has 10 lb bags of chicken hindquarters; they're sometimes a
very good deal.

>Dungeness crab clusters - $3.99 / lb
>Snow crab clusters - $3.99 / lb


? What's a 'crab cluster'?

>Baby back ribs - $3.99 / lb


Why??? Spares cost a LOT less, have more meat, and better flavor.
(gonna be smokin' some spares next weekend, I think. Along with some
chicken)

>Chunk cheddar - $2.99 / lb


Depending on one's taste, it's not too tough to find 2 lb bricks for
$4.99 for medium. Store brands, Tillamook...

>Bumble Bee Chunk Light Tuna - $.33 per can (in a 4-pak)


Haven't paid that much for chunk light in years. Won't be buying any
soon--still got a LOT of it from the last couple stock-ups.

It's really good (The Edy's/Dryer's brand). It doesn't taste light.
We had some at a dinner party last night.

I am partial to the Whole Fruit sorbets though. The strawberry is
divine.

Either Stop n Shop or A&P have Edy's 3 $5 ... don't know if it's
good for the Slow Churned. I imagine you'd need a card, too.

Dungeness and Snow Crab *clusters* are what my local markets call it when
they sell clusters of 1/2 of the crab -- the legs (yum), claw (semi-yum),
knuckles (and some of the meat attached to the knuckles that comes from the
body that holds the cluster together). There's no gunky stuff you have to
clean like whole blue crabs. I like it all except for the body meat attached
to the knuckles, which I find a little strong tasting. But my cat likes that
part so nothing goes to waste.

As far as which are better, spare ribs or baby backs, that's all a matter of
opinion. My baby backs are always very meaty and incredibly tender and
favorably. Never tried cooking the regular spare ribs before but you've
convinced me to give them a try sometime. I hope I won't be sorry. ;-)

I like the body meat just as much as the leg and claw meat--granted,
it's more work to get out. I need to learn how to clean crabs
sometime--I always have had the butcher/fishmonger clean them when I
buy 'em.
(Only Dungeness. I don't much care for snow crab--too stringy. ftm,
to me no other crab compares with Dungeness)

Spares need a bit of trimming, and assuming you're marinating or
putting on a rub, you'll likely want to pull off the membrane. (lots
of good info about spares in alt.food.barbecue)

D'you cook your babybacks low'n'slow over indirect heat (like in a
smoker), or grill 'em? I'm a major fan of low'n'slow.

It is 3 for $5 at Waldbaums here on Long Island. It is for all kinds of
Edy's icecream including the frozen fruit bars. I am not 100% positive, but
I think Waldbaums and A&P are part of the same company.

They also have Palmolive dishwashing liquid at 5 for $4.

Actually I goofed on this one. This is really not such a good sale price
since it's normally about $5 / lb.

Catfish is such a relatively inexpensive fish so you can do much better than
that on when it's really on sale. But I love catfish at any price,
especially the thin fillets fried up with a crispy cornmeal breading. Weird
Southern stuff to some, I'm sure.

Truly Southern, yes, and delicious. What I love even more are the small,
whole, "channel" catfish that are fried whole including tail fin. The
small fish are even tastier and the tail fin becomes crisp like a potato
chip. Many "fish camp" type restaurants in the South serve them this way.

Oh those are fun to eat, too. Biting them off the bone reminds me of those
cartoons I watched as a kid -- the ones where the kitties regurgitate a
whole fish skeleton. Heheh -- that's me. :-)

Hi,

Im coming in late on this this, however you have stirred the Southern part
of my soul!
Catfish fillets are a Yankee pretention,an abomination of the fine art of
eating said delicacy. An all you can eat fish camp is a rare treat. A salad
of a half head of plated lettuce,jar of mayonaise,salt and pepper plopped on
the table is a requisite. An endless supply of small fresh fish cought that
day(or sooner), hush puppies,french fries,and ice cold beverage of choice is
indeed a rare treat. Needless to say, the sound of an approaching outboard
motor pulling up to the dock is joy unbounding. If they have and old big red
cola ice chest to hold the flopping and growling cats, it is bliss.
Unfortunately, most of these places no longer exist as well as their
cooks,genial Southern waitresses and old shack ambiance. New large brick
resturants and health departments have taken their toll. Now to make you
weep for the willows...40 or so years ago the price was $2.99 + tax and tip.
Expensive it was, and worth every cent.
Thanks alot..darn it! Now I've got to go somewhere that they change the
fish daily and the grease when they deem necessary.

Hubert, I am intimately familiar with every detail of what you described.
My parents grew up near Tupelo, MS, and I have or had relatives all over NE
MS, as well as in Florence, Mussel Shoales, Anniston, and Birmingham, AL.
I live in AZ now, but oh, what I would give to find a fish camp like those
I remember. It seems like, back in the 50s and 60s, we went to a fish camp
about every other week for dinner.

Not weird at all -- just envy-inspiring. Getting good catfish here is
like trying to get good salmon (when you know the difference between
pinks and reds and kings) south of the Mason-Dixon line. I love good
catfish, but I haven't had any in years and years. The closest I can
come here is halibut (which is similar in taste and texture and
preparation). Halibut is amazing, but when you want *catfish* it's
just not the same :-)

Their seasonal Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream is top notch...
and you cant forget their regular Homemade Vanilla.

Blue Bell is awesome but a tad expensive.

Blue Bell was recently introduced in the Phoenix, AZ area. I think the
Blue Bunny brand is far superior. They are probably priced similarly, but
good sale prices can be found for Blue Bunny.

I have heard of Blue Bunny, but I have yet to see or taste it.
I don't have a large sweet tooth, but when it does kick in... I think
of ice cream or a frozen mini snickers bar.

Ill keep an eye out for the Blue Bunny and give it a run.
(blue bunny.. making me think of the Holy Grail and the killer rabbit
skit).
