Just stopped by the HUGE & relatively new #Safeway in Oakley today to pick up a prescription & decided to walk thru this store for the 1st time.
It's no longer St. Patty's day but they were selling pre-packed #CornedBeef for 50% off at $4 instead of $8/pound for both #BottomRound & #FlatBrisket.
Flat brisket is the better & traditional (along with the point) cut to use for corned beef. So, I bought 2 packs of the flat for just $4/# & for a savings of about $24. 😊
In contrast, they had #ChuckRoast ridiculously priced at $13/pound. 🤦♂️
So it pays to look for sales & to avoid outrageously priced meat (along with other things) at Safeway (as well as other stores & supermarkets).
This sale was marked as a "Manager's Special" so it may apply to this store only but if you're in the market for some corned beef it would be worth checking to see if the Safeway in your area is currently pricing it similarly (or would be willing to match this price based on this info).
