There's really nothing better than a good old fashioned pot roast every now and again. Or how about shredded beef tacos or Italian beef sandwiches?
This Sales Watch is dedicated to the key ingredient that makes each of these culinary delights possible: the roast. I've learned that by using my crockpot, it doesn't really matter which cut I go with...they all come out fall-apart tender.
For this Sales Watch, I'm tracking sales at my local Bashas' and Fry's. Price generally appear to be cheaper on pork, but they don't go on sale as often; therefore, I'll be highlighting the "rock bottom prices" for both beef (B) and pork (P) below.
(LB = London Broil; CR = Cross Rib; BI = Bone-in)

*Indicates a Buy One, Get One Free sale. I've taken the sale price and divided it by two (which isn't exact math, of course, because it's nearly impossible to find identical-sized roasts...but whatev). Note that Bashas' often runs Buy One, Get One Free sales, but I haven't found out a good way to track them yet because they don't list the actual buy-one-get-one prices online (and I don't often make my way into Bashas' unless it's for a specific purpose).
