Not much over $1.98 here......talk about nice.....same place back ribs are $4.99 and St. Louis are $3.79

Going to pick up a couple racks next Sat. I have off....

Just paid $2.69/ lb today... if they go on sale I can sometimes get them as low as $1.98/ lb

I bought 3 pkgs at HEB yesterday. One said pork spareribs and the others said St. Louis style ribs. All were marked $2.97/lb. What's the difference in the 2 kinds? Visually the racks are basically the same although the St. Louis looks a little meatier.

Pork ribs labeled spare ribs are basically untrimmed, sternum area still attached and what not... St. Louis cut are spares that have been trimmed into basically a rectangle with the knuckles removed. Local markets often take the trimmings and will package it under the St. Louis cut ribs so you still end up paying for the weight of the trimmings.

$1.97# low prices at heb! They are the farmland naturals also, they are thick, meaty and marbled always

Gunna have to start doing some shopping for ribses myself... rotated and did a count on briskets today and I'm good for awhile, but the rib count is leaving something to be desired.

Pork prices have gone up by about 30% recently. Whole loins were $2 are now $3.
Baby backs were $3 now $4.
These are Sam's club prices.
Cub (a popular grocer in these parts) are trying to get $25.00 a pound for beef tenderloin steak
I think it is just a shame that the people are getting screwed. How can prices jump that much in a matter of a few months.
If things continue like this I may just sell my cookers and let them eat there own flippin meat.

There are many excuses why meat prices go so high so fast, but it all comes down to plain old greed. It's not the problem that prices are rising, the problem is people keep paying them.
