Question about Roasts

[Allison]

What kind of roast do you always get (round, shoulder, rump) - and at what price do you get two of them to throw them in the freezer?

I love roast, and it seems like they are always on sale - but I dunno what's a good price, or what's a pseudo-good price. :confused:

I get chuck roasts. They usually runn $3.99 a lb here.

I usually buy them around $5-$6. Any more and I just hold off until they are on sale.

And whatever cut is on sale, I buy that. I'm not picky.

Hate hate hate Rump Roast.. usually it's good if you plan on cooking it for 12 hours and drowning it in bbq sauce lol
I usually stick with chuck roast

Here's a cool guide to roasts:

I like rump roast and chuck roast. I'm seeing them for 1.99 a lot lately, so I wouldn't pay more than that.

Oh, just to clarify, when I said $5-$6, I meant that for the whole thing, not that much per pound!!! :D

I only do tip roasts. About 2.66 a lb but almost NO fat. I hate fat on my meat.

Yes, tip roasts are great!!
