18¢ for 4½ pounds of Beef Back Ribs

[Jim Lampe]

Yup, only 4¢ per pound...
That's the price I paid today.
Sure, not much meat left on these shiny bones, but when I saw these three packages and the price per pound...
I felt I had to spend the 18¢ and share some photos with you.

Bet it cost the store more to package them than you paid for them

 

[Mary Teal]

Jim, I would have snatched them up too! Nice Score! Not a lot of meat, but real nice for roasting and making stock with!

 

[Bob H.]

Jim, I will give you 36 cents for them if you deliver. C'mon Jim, you can DOUBLE your money here!

 

[Brad Olson]

I wonder if Sendik's computer system assumes the decimal point; in other words, if those ribs were supposed to be $4/lb the person adding the price record should've typed in "400" but instead entered "4.00".

I take it those were the only 4 packages in the case? Or did you not want to buy them all and attract attention?

 

[Jim Lampe]

Brad, I've seen sale items still priced normally and have brought it to their attention...
so, mismarked items there are not unusual.

and, there were only the 3 packages...

So what are you going to do with them? Inquiring minds want to know

Looks like 18 cents well spent to me, good job Jim.

 

[Rich Dahl]

Look good hope they came out to your expectations, that was quite a good deal.
