Krogier has had their usual advertised loss-leader specials in the midst of the current crisis.
Couple of weeks ago they had pork dry butts for .99/lb so I found and bought a little five pounder and it was really delicious cooked slowly in the oven and left plenty of leftovers for stir fries and fried rice.
This week, Kroger has chuck BOGO, so around $3.50/lb net.
This is easily the best chuck we've ever had. I prepared the first bit using an IKEA Grilla and my wife was amazed how tender the meat was. Chuck is always flavorful but usually a little chewy if prepared as a broiled steak but this meat was really tender and delicious.
Seems to me that meat quality has actually improved in recent weeks.
Also, the claim that grocery prices have risen substantially recently has not been our experience at all for anything we normally buy and eat.
