Hi Oral, yes, Randall's has had chicken breasts for 99 cents a pound, has had NY Strips for 3.99 on sale, has had pork chops for 1.67 on sale . Really beautiful pot roasts for 1.99 a pound. The store had ham's on sale for 99 cents a pound one week, I was unable to make it to the store during that week. However, when I looked at the next week, they had about 8 of these larger hams that had not sold and had then been marked down an additional 50%. So I bought an 18 pound ham for $9.00, (that's 50 cents a pound and this meat was not out of date) and this is their store at Post Oak and San Felipe....a tony part of town. The store is overall very expensive, I walk through the fresh produce area, look at their tomato prices and my mind wanders back from the scene in Kevin Costner's WaterWorld, in which he is inquiring about the price of a small plant with one tomato on it, and it's as expensive as dry earth. On Sunday I was at the HEB near Bellaire, they had a special where I bought a pack of 4 seasoned combined chicken leg and thigh... they charged me 1.13 cents..... not a pound but for the package. I suspect I will be bragging about....or more precisely lamenting the good old days when prices like these were available. John
