Meat Deal Spotted Thread

[tirebob]

Dunno if anyone is interested, but I know I am always on the lookout for beef/pork/chicken or whatever at great deals to fill the fridge/freezer with so I thought maybe it deserved a thread of its own. If anyone spots a sale, please post here!

Now today I was at the Costco in Balzac and they had briskets on for $7.69/kg (3.49/lb) which is a great price! Even though I always prefer to cook never frozen, this was too good to say no to so I grabbed a few for the freezer. Most were pretty decent too, though I did pick through and grabbed the nicest ones haha!

[Disoblige]

I been trying to get cheap pork side ribs. Costco used to sell them in the foam tray and plasric wrap but I don't see them anymore.

[ExtraSlow]

Good call on the thread. Someone needs to comb the flyers for all the asian supermarkets.

[ThePenIsMightier]

The phone app called Flipp is one of the only useful apps I've seen in history. You can search for "strip loin" and it will show you the results from every flyer so you can see who's got the deals to move the steak.
LoL.

You sure it was $7.69/kg ? The past few times I was at Costco they had dropped the price of whole brisket to $6.99/kg. Great price either way. I smoke a whole brisket every couple of months so always on the lookout for a good deal on one.

Anyway, this is a good idea. Following! Sometimes the deals are not advertisement in flyers and are location specific. For example, one time I got pork side ribs for $0.99/lb and whole chicken for $0.79/lb at the Sunridge superstore, but they were priced differently at the other locations.

[killramos]

How do these deal compare to bulk meat order?

I’m splitting a hog with a buddy, should arrive next week.

Quality aside, I think it's still more expensive. For example, right now Costco sells whole striploin for $17.99/kg. I don't think even bulk order can be that cheap.

[tirebob]

I will find the bill and confirm but I am certain is was $7 and change...

Guessing I should have posted when the new Save On opened in Trinity hills and Roasts were ~50% off. Butcher chatted with us for a while and said they were well under his cost, encouraged us to load as many in as we could. I think I ended up with 4 of them. The average 2 bone roast was $30 and the biggest I got was a giant 3 Bone for $50.

I been trying to get cheap pork side ribs. Costco used to sell them in the foam tray and plasric wrap but I don't see them anymore.

A few months back, Costco was selling St Louis style ribs on sale. They were doing $15 off each package. Packages were about $25-30 each before discount. Fantastic deal. I got 2 racks in the freezer. People had 3-4 racks in their cart. Would of got more but didn't have a chest freezer yet at that time

[ExtraSlow]

Costco ribs are pretty good value at even full price. Quite meaty. Beats the shit I get from safeway.

Seems to be a recurring thing, they had the same deal when they opened both stores in Airdrie and again when they opened the one in the old Crappy Tire on 64th.

I've noticed AAA Prime Rib going on sale at grocery stores for 50% off right before Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas for the last couple years. I still have a couple in the freezer!

I think I remember seeing that, but I wanted to get the ones that wasn't vacuum packed and had the generic Costco packed trays.
They were always good value and I miss those. I keep forgetting what is a good price for side ribs.

I know for whole chicken and other parts, anything $2/lb (common) or under (uncommon) is a buy for me.

I usually stock up on ground beef if it's $2.99/lb or less.

Can I ask why specifically on a tray versus vacuum packed? I just care about how the meat is when I buy it and I have never had an issue specifically one way or the other.

I didn't find the St. Louis ribs that cheap. It was on sale but doesn't mean they were cheap. You pay a premium for those St. Louis ones.

$10 a package with 2 racks in package is pretty cheap IMO. And I'm frugal as fuck. I collect ketchup packs at fast food places and fill up my 1L bottle and am a couponer

[adam c]

Recently discovered the flipp app, it's been great so far

[Buster]

As a general comment, don't forget you can ask the Costco butchers for full cryovacs of anything they put into trays. That's how I get my full full pork shoulders, or entire pork bellies.

Haha ya that does sound cheap! I think I may have been confused with a different sale then. I likely would have bought a few if it was only $10.

redflagdeals deals says it's $6.99/kg. Thanks for the heads up!

Im pretty sure it wasnt even a full $2.00 lol i think it was 1.89:D but yeah even at 2.00 its dirt cheap. Heads up if anyones buying the ribs, they have them in big frozen slabs so ask to see the slab before they cut it up for you. They got me with a slab that was way too fatty once.

Correction the wings are only $1.79lb

Full wings (with tips, not split) are $1.79/lb though, and drumettes are $1.69
I also used to get full wings for $2/lb at Lucky (in plastic bags, not at the meat counter or on trays)... haven't been there for a while to know if they're still the same price though.

It'll be either provincially or federally inspected meat if it's sold in a brick and mortar location here. safety of the meat isn't going to be a big issue.

Why not? It's about the same price /lb for a full AAA packer at Costco (see first post).
Superstore also had random chunks for $3.49/lb last week or the week before.

Perhaps since I buy it rarely, I think the last time I got it from Sobeys it was ~42 for 5 lbs, some BBQ/Smoke houses sell it brisket for $30-$40/lbs

[RX_EVOLV]

Briskets at Sobeys and those places are usually around $20/kg. Even superstore would normally carry portion of Augus brisket for $19/kg. So ~$42 for 5lb sounds about right.

Otherwise Costco is as cheap as it gets for ~$7/kg. Once in a blue moon they would actually have Prime grade brisket. Last time I got one was ~$9.50/kg. I'm waiting for that to happen again so I can stock up.

Quick update for Wah Hing:

Ordered online, only payment method is "pay in store". Got to the store. Line up. Busy place.

Got to the store, learned they don't even track online orders (or they were too busy), they just asked me to reorder at the counter. 5LBs of brisket turned into 8Lbs with a smiling "close enough!" from the lady at the counter. 5Lbs of pork belly became 6LBs, and 5LBs of drumettes became 7LBs.

Close enough!

The brisket is frozen, you're paying by the frozen weight. Pork belly is bone-in (doesn't that make it side ribs or spare ribs? I'm no butcher). Drumettes were large.

Cash, packaging, and raw meat are handled by the same pair of gloves. Don't go here if you're squeamish of that. There was another lady trying to break apart a Clarke Griswold size bundle of frozen pork chops by smashing them on the ground (but she had a sheet of cardboard for food safety).

Thanks for this.
That's not acceptable, particularly when they have likely upped their food handling game significantly due to this pesky pandemic that's in Month-11. Gross.
And yeah, getting 40% over what you asked for or needed is also a no-go.

[CompletelyNumb]

Brisket was around $3/lb. The total order came to $52. They bag it all, weight it, type the price into a very low tech cash register. No discount for cash payment :drama:

I probably could have objected and forced them to cut and reweight, but after waiting in line, I wasn't going to squabble over a $10 difference. At least I got the extra meat, vs being in Asia and just paying $10 more for the same amount cause of white tax. :devil:

Food handling game not upped in any sense of the word. Don't go here for steak tartar.

Ha! That's an awesome post!
I meant that they have probably "upped their game" in that pre-CoVid, they were prolly cutting pork on the toilet tanks in the bathrooms and leaving the chicken on the loading dock in the sun. So they certainly have a long way to go, but "you should've seen it before". It's funny. I'm funny. Much funnier when needs explaining.

Then when someone placed an order for ginger beef, the chef takes a serving from the big plastic box on the floor and throws it into the wok to finish cooking it up for the take-out container.

Bought some insanely cheap beef ribs from basha a couple years ago. Actually that might be in the BBQ thread cheap because there was no meat or fat on em. musta been some sick old cows. Basically just soup bones.

If i was paying regular price then yeah that aint happening but thats for me its too cheap to be complaining. I also but extra to vacuum seal and freeze so not a biggie if i have some extra.

OK, help me out a bit here guys. I have seen some of the end results here, and I want to try it.

What ribs should I buy, and what is the best way to cook them without a smoker? I have done them on a smoker before, but that's it.

Checked beacon hill and they had only monster like $28 which I didn't have room for to store.

Costco does have picaha now so I picked up some of the steaks but they don't have as much fat on them like the entire cap would.
