I just got sticker-shock at Safeway here in Oregon...
For lean ground beef: $4.99 a pound!
Ouch!
We wait for it to go on sale or reduced for quick sale and usually can get it for $2-$3 a pound. Normal price is around $3.50 a pound at albertsons for 85/15. It goes up from there. I live in Oregoin too andusually get our hamburger at Albertsons since they have the best prices for meat. Safeway does have some good prices for chicken though
90% lean- $2.99/lb
These are guaranteed low prices at Wegmans in PA.
I have an Acme near me that runs, nearly every week, 4 for $19.99 values on different meats and chicken. That makes every package $5. I try and get the largest chicken breast and chopped meat packages I can find to stretch the dollar. Often they are in the 2 and a half pound range. Sometimes whole chickens are on this deal, Italian sausage, nd turkey tenderloin.
3.98 lb for 80% at Walmart
$1 more for the 93% lean at both places
I live in VA
