    What do you pay for leg of lamb?

    Our local Pathmark has semi-boneless leg of lamb on sale for $1.99lb From what I hear that is a pretty good deal so I was wondering how good and what others pay. This will be my first time doing lamb so not even sure I will like it but if it's going on the smoker I'm sure it will be good.
