Who would ever have thought that ground beef would be higher priced than roasts. It's rare that I can find ground beef marked down to a reasonable price and we're starting to miss it.
Did anyone else notice there weren't any large 20+ lb turkeys this year (or at least I never found one). I always try to buy the largest bird I can find on sale but this year they were only 12 pounders. I'm thinking it's the economy and the farmers are looking for a quicker turn around. The Christmas turkey went from it's roasted form, to soup, a couple of sandwiches, and finally to a pot pie. Hope everyone remembered to boil the carcass for stock.
Here in Idaho, we had some turkeys in the 24 lb. ranges and lots of them in the 20 - 22 lb. range.
I saw plenty of 20+ pound turkeys this year in the local Wegmans.
Costco had all large turkeys before Christmas (18-25#) and after Christmas all small Turkeys (10-14) We had a Prime Rib roast from a local butcher for Christmas and I swear it was horse meat so we bought a pre-seasoned 11# from Costco and had it last night and it was perfect.
