Reply to ""Prime" Rib -- in the Fridge aging for Christmas"

To be honest, I don't think ANYBODY around here in small town Minnesota sells Prime cuts or Prime Rib. As Smokin says...everything is the boneless or boneon ribeye. Closest I can think of would be 75 miles away and I'd be willing to bet it'd be near the $20.00 a pound mark.
Just for giggles I think I'm gonna call and see.

The boneless choice rib roast here in town usually goes for about $8.75 - $9.75 a pound. One of the grocery stores here (and they have a very good meat manager and quality meats) is advertising Choice Angus boneless Rib roast for $5.88 per pound. I'm planning on getting a 13 - 15 pound slab for Christmas.

That said...if it's cryovacced (sp?) is it okay to get it now with Christmas 10 days away or so?? I don't want to freeze it before making.
One bad part about getting a cryovaced roast is that you or even the meat manager can't see what your paying for. So it's a gamble. But it is a Choice cut...
