The Kroger thread seemed to have several people paying attention so I figured I'd start a new one that's more generic since Albertson's is having one now.

$.99/lb chicken products (whole birds, thighs, breast, drumsticks)
$.99/lb pork butts

Has anyone seen any brisket sales lately? Kroger had one a couple months ago but they seem to be more and more rare.

Easter weekend I got a 14 pound ribeye roast for $5.99 at Albertsons.

I got a couple of those too and cut/seals bunch of steaks. Wish they would do that one more often!

Did the same. Went boneless on the steaks and packaged the ribs separately. Saved a couple bigger sections for bigger roasts as well.

Around Memorial Day weekend Market Street & Kroger will usually have big sales on brisket & ribs!

Seems like lately it's easy to find a port butt sale, but briskets are few and far between. I need to grab a few next time there's a deal.

Other than those two, what do you guys typically stock in the freezer? Do you also load up on ribs when on sale? I typically only buy butts and briskets.

Kroger has:

$.97/lb pork butts
$1.77/lb st. louis spares (with digital coupon)

Tom Thumb at 8698 Skillman has $1.99/lb Choice briskets limit 2 through 5/9.

When I see it on sale my deep freezer has probably 30 lbs breasts, 20 lbs thighs, 2-4 briskets, 4-6 butts, a dozen steaks, 40-50 lbs ground beef, 10-20 lbs ground sausage, and 5-10 lbs bacon. Plus 6-8 bags of hashbrowns, some shredded and some cubes.

We stock the garage fridge's lower freezer with kids chicken strips, fish sticks, fries, tater tots, and hushpuppies.

The kitchen freezer usually has all the steam veggies and we also keep a healthy stock of frozen battered cut okra.

Everything basically gets replenished based on when sales occur.

Dang. I've checked the 3 nearest TT to me and they aren't having that sale.

Grand reopening sale for this particular store after a brief remodel.

Scored 1 of the last few they had out. Can't pass up that pricing! Thanks for the tip.

Tom Thumb/Albertson's has $.97.lb pork butts.

Kroger has $1.77/lb spare ribs, but I believe they're whole spares with the chine bone still in them. Not St. Louis.

Was hoping this was going to happen this week. Amazing the awful pictures they use for their marketing. This brisket is garbage. I've found that if you dig through their briskets you can normally find some pretty good ones.

EDIT: Starts tomorrow

Sale begins tomorrow at Krogers. Chicken breasts will be $1.77/lb as well.

Yes, sorry forgot to mention that. Grocery sales always start on Wednesday.

My Albertsons/Tom Thumb ad says Choice Brisket in Bag $2.47/ea.

Not /lb.

Think they'll honor it?

I'll drive my ass there no matter where you are if that's the case!

Our local Kroger is doing 0.69/lb chicken quarters starting tomorrow.

Kroger has pork butts for $0.87/lb. in the weekly digital ads.

The butts end today.

Kroger has $1.87/lb choice briskets through 5/28 with digital coupon applied. Limit two per Kroger card and the coupon will get burned if you only buy one.

Got some $1.99 spare ribs at Aldi. They suck. The STL premium ribs for $2.99 per Lb are way better.

I picked up the Choice at Kroger, but Tom Thumb also has Prime brisket for 2.97/lb limit 2 for those so inclined.

FYI, Kroger doing $1.87/lb choice briskets now.

Mavs and brisket Sunday. Let's go

Thanks for the brisket heads up. Picked one up today while I was out that I'll cook Monday. I have one in the freezer, but I can't pass up a brisket sale.

Nearly half the bin in Wylie on Sunday was prime packages.

Any good deals?

Albertson's/Tom Thumb has prime briskets on sale for $3.49 / lb. I picked one up this morning.

Uhhh that's on sale?

There is no difference between prime and choice brisket other than the price. They're both tough cuts of meat that have to be smoked low and slow.

Frankly, there's little difference in select either. If you're decent with the smoker, you can make select taste just as good as choice and prime.

This is wrong on so many levels. If you said there is no difference between a bad prime and a really good choice, I would agree with you. Select is nowhere near what you can do with a prime assuming they're both cooked perfectly. Can a select be good? Yes.
