Hi all, I know this question has probably been asked before but I couldnt find what I was looking for.
I am entered into a contest on Aug 26th and 27th. It is only going to be thighs ribs and pork and then peoples choice and the organizer is furnishing meat for peoples choice(what it is has changed 3 times in 3 weeks).
That weekend falls between paydays and yes I can wait to buy meat but here is why I am asking. There is a grocery store that I have found in a little town not far from me that has butts, and they are good ones, for $.99 lb right now. Their spare ribs, basic Hormel, are $1.59 lb. These prices have been for at least 2 weeks but I am afraid if I wait prices will go up, but I can buy now and freeze. I have never used nor heard of anyone using meat from their freezer for comps.
Should I jump on this, or wait? The closest Sams or places like that are an hour and a half away so they are not really a viable option, so it will be go with this place or get it at Walmart.
Thanks for any advice.
