At the grand opening of a new Sunflower a few weeks ago, they had
85/15 ground beef on sale for $1.57/pound. I got a package.

The Original Ball Park Franks are now mostly mechanically separated
chicken. They've ruined yet another American past time.

Our Newflower (AKA Sunflower) market sucks. Whenever they have a
ground beef sale all they do is take round and throw it though the
grinder. It tastes terrible.

The rest of their meat always has brown spots on it. I don't trust
anything from their meat department. It's so high priced that
nobody buys it, yet they let all that brown crap sit there on
display. Their marketing department really needs a slap upside the
head.

Wow...wonder what happened?
Ours is great. Good looking meat, and sometimes they have great
sales.
I got bone-in country style ribs a few days ago, at $0.97/pound. They
looked fantastic-meaty.

I hardly ever see ground beef that I would buy, costing less than
$2/pound. The stuff that usually costs less is so full of fat, and
who knows what parts it contains. That may be true of what I bought
as well..but it wasn't that fatty at all: i just don't know what part
of the cow it was.

It is pretty good though. I got a good sized family pack and divvied
it up into smaller amounts, into those Reynolds vacuum bags. Used one
smaller package for my spaghetti sauce a few days ago.

3.90 this year)

In Store Ground (in-store) beef -- 80/20 $1.58 lb. 95/05 $2.98
lb.

Boneless Angus chuck roast $2.98 lb

Fresh (made in store) bratwurst $2.18 lb. Smoked/Cooked $2.48 lb

This is "my store" because they have good meat AND good produce and
the prices are OK Service is excellent.

We have a relatively new one in the SE Denver suburbs and I buy
a lot there. Their meat has been very good and has a quick turnover.

I like the new Sprouts better, but it's twice as far from home and
not as convenient.

I just bought some for the equivalent of $5.50/pound.

I agree I like Sprouts better also. And I LOVE the Wednesdays
deals at both stores. Awesome to get last weeks sales and
currents weeks sales on one day.

Sprouts is pretty expensive, isn't it? High end and all that stuff.

I was thinking of a store in Vacaville. I see it's not Sprouts. Not
sure what it is now.
