Back ribs are running $3.99 and up at stores around here.  You can usually do best at Sam's in my area. They had them for $2.99 last time I looked.

I was at the Kroger this afternoon and I never will understand why they have back ribs are $4.99 a pound and they have these beautiful cryovac packages of pork loins for $1.99 a pound sitting next to them.  Yes they are leaner, but why $3 a pound difference? (other than because they can)

I usually do Cash & Carry for my ribs: BB's @ $3.99, St. Louis @ $2.59, and Spares at $1.99 - sometimes whichever one is on sale will be 50 to 60 cents less per lb.

Albertson's out here has spares priced ridiculously high at $7.99lb but every now and then they put them on sale buy one get 2 free.
 
usually $3.99 lb, but i scout Sams often and have caught them as low as 1.79- 2.39......less than $15 for a 3 pak.
 
I bought 3 twin packs of spares at our local grocery store for $2.18/# a couple weeks ago on sale. our local butcher has them for $2.29/#
 
Around here in Mississippi the loin back prices here have gone down. Spoke with the Sam's meat guy last week. Case price for loin backs is 2.29 lb. Thinking about buying 2 extra cases and freezing for when the price spikes this summer. Pkerchef
 
 
Around here (Boston , metro west) 3.29 would be average at the supermarket. You will see a sale now n then , but 3 bucks a pound is what I look for..
Restaurant depot runs 2.79. To 2.99 a pound for cryo packs of 3 racks. You gotta hunt down those places that give you a better deal... That's half the fun!:sausage:

That's better than what I paid. This past week bought two cases of Carolina Pride Baby Back Ribs at $2.59 lb.
 
BJ's Wholesale Club has cryovac 2 packs @ 2.89 /lb.  picked up 3 packs yesterday.  They also started carrying brisket which was a first that I've seen then in store.  I know everybody has talked up Costco here but BJ's has been really good for boston butts too.
