@ctl74 Talk with the butchers
@HEB & Kroger, I've always bought from the regular stores & never had a bad one. They always carry it during the holidays. I would place an order but no deposit. I don't think I paid anywhere close to $17.99 but meat just keeps getting more expensive.
@thegoodwife: Hey thanks for the tip! I called my Mom (the prime rib chef) to see what she thought, as she typically gets her meat from Costco. She thought it seemed high too and told me to check with Kroger, as she's had friends who have done well with their meat there (back in SC). I think my Saturday errands this week will consist meat comparison shopping!

She also thought she remembered paying around $9 or $10/lb typically. 4951
