I bought two big 5 lob corned beef roasts at Ralph's for 69 cents a pound. Each roast cost me less than 3.50 each. I am planning to stockpile some for my lean summer months. Each roast should make 2 meals so about 1.60 each meal for the meat portion

Also cabbage is very cheap right now, 12 cents a pound. Guess we will be having cabbage this and that, coleslaw and steamed cabbage.

Look in your areas for these deals this week

Great deals! :)

Ok, stupid question. I'm 45 and I have no idea what corned beef is.....?:confused:

I think the beef might be pickled, am I right?

It is very delicious none-the-less

Right now is a cheap time to give it a try

Just found it in the new ad from Albertson's for 57 cents a pound!

I have a corned beef question too LOL, move over Lisa.

Here corned beef is beef that's been sitting in brine for ages and pickled. But what do you call a roast there? Our roasts are a big piece of meat, that can feed multiple people that will be cooked in the oven and roasted. We roast lamb, chicken and beef , but not corned beef, we boiled that. So what are roasts over there?

Rhonda,

Roasts are the same here, we roast chickens, beef, pork and lamb or you can have a venison roast. Corned Beef, which most people think is what the Irish have on St. Paddy's Day, is normally a boiled dish although some people will (myself included) Use a crockpot to cook it

HTH

I call it a roast because of the cut I guess, it looks like a roast, but IS NOT roasted, if it is not boiled, it is VERY tough.

It is actually a beef BRISKET that has been somehow cured in a brine.
