Yall have a great one.

SuperOne... Tyler, Texas - has Hormel pork spares for $1.77 per pound from now through Tuesday. Might be some other East Texas SuperOne's offering the same.

Randalls has packers (select) on sale for $1.48/#. There should be a category below select.... these had more fat on them than bacon fried in duck lard. The ends of the flats had more fatcap than meat by a 2:1 ratio. Just couldn't go there even though the price was right.

No sale, but Wallyworld has packers (IBP) at $2:18/#. Mostly select but some in the were "Choice". There was a real nice looking choice packer tipping the scales at 17#, flat end meat height more than an inch. "Self", I say to myself, "a guy could separate the point from the flat and if still too long cut it down and grind some burger". But the thought of grinding meat at 85° (temp I keep the humble abode at) didn't sound like a good idea. Still I keep looking at it, even put it in cart at one point lest someone pilfer it from under my nose. But reality is what it is -just wouldn't fit in E2. But I did find one, also choice, just shy of 14# that will fit nicely. Looks like it will be Brisky here on the 4th.

Wallyworld also had pumped up frozed spares (Smithfield) at $1.88/#.

I'm going to have breakdown and buy a freezer and membership to Sams or Costco. Frozen unpumped pork, IMHO, is better than refrigerated pumped pork. I haven't seen fresh unpumped ribs since I left the Mountains, and there it was scarce. All the Tyson pork cuts were "enhanced" or "contains a solution up to 12%".

I believe the HEB "All Natural" chickens, ribs and briskets are never frozen and free of enhancements, but you'll pay a premium for them.

Jumped the gun and went to albertsons a day early for the brisket sale. Grabbed a couple packs of St Louis style ribs @ $2.88. May go back tomorrow. Or hit Tom Thumb. They have a decent beer selection so the $25 ante won't be difficult.
