Just depends..personaly I grind my own meats so I would use the fat trimmed off the $7 ribeye and would go that route.

Would take the trimmed pork ribs as I find very little use for the waste on pork spares.

Tough call! Personally, I like the whole pieces as I can cut them as thick or thin as I like, plus I like to use the trimmings.

Is the trimmed & cut the same quality as the whole piece? Can you get them the thickness you like?

Like the beef question......I like the untrimmed, as I use the brisket meat, etc, for cooking veggies, baked beans, just snacking on......

If you don't use those things, then the best way for you to go is with the St. Louis style.

Btw, both the beef and the pork products you mentioned are a good deal on price, at least compared to where I am :)

They are making money at the $9 price, you know that ;)

I don't care if they make money it's a small neighborhood chain with 4 stores & I'm glad to see them make it!

I buy untrimmed unless the price is really close.  Both of those trimmed prices are pretty reasonable if you don't have anything specific planned for the trimmings.

When I get spares, I love to take the tips (that strip across the top) and cut it into strips, pound 'em out pretty flat, weave 'em onto a skewers, add the rub, then smoke 'em along with the ribs for about an hour.  They make terrific snacks while you're waiting for the ribs to finish and being on a stick...well, its like eatin' candy.
Here's the video - they are so easy and so good.

Same here. Great prices.

Found CAB ribeyes for $6.99/lb, and I bought all SWMBO would let me. Also found pork butts for $1.29/lb. and untrimmed spares for $1.79/lb. cryo packed in threes. Again, I bought all I was allowed to buy.

Planning to create a diversion and get back to that store to buy more if I can.  8)
