Hi from Connecticut

[debls]

I found this website via the BigY supermarket website. I am very much interested in meat with no antibiotics, growth hormones etc. I've been investigating different alternatives that are also reasonable priced. I am interested in finding stores close by. This website looks very interesting.

Hi! Welcome to OGD!
What part of CT are you from.
Do you have a Stop & Shop, a Shop Rite or any other stores near you besides Big Y? I don't know of a Big Y brand of meat without the additives. S&S and SR have a couple though.

and welcome! Another CT OGD'er (is that right? lol!) here too! You say you found this website through Big Y's website? Hmmm....interesting!

Big Y does, in fact, have *some* meat/poultry, etc. that doesn't use antibiotics or growth hormones (at least mine does); but, from what I've seen, there's not a lot to choose from and they are quite expensive. In fact, WF prices are generally either cheaper, or about the same, and we know that WF moves their meat out! I can't recall the brand at Big Y (I'm picturing this little label ~ vibrant blue/green with a cow on it ~ lookd very much like a photo). Again, maybe all Big Y's don't carrry this product.

Hi folks. Thanks for the welcome. Just went to Big Y in North Haven yesterday. I have not been to Big Y for awhile. They've been advertising all natural black angus beef for awhile now. They had a 2 for 1 sale on the all natural rib eye steaks. I had a couple cut for me by the butcher. Really nice looking. I'll report back on the taste. They were $5.99 a lb. I also picked up 4 all natural angus sirloin burgers from the butcher case which looked good. I was getting the bare naked beef from Stew Leonards but the sales on it were few and far between and it was expensive. Also had an IGA in Kensington that sold the Natural Certified Angus Beef then went to the regular CAB instead of natural. I live in Meriden by the way. We have Stop and Shop, Walmart, Shaws and Shop Rite also. I don't do Stop and Shop anymore. I gave up on them when they put in the 'lay off' lanes. You know the ones where you scan and bag all of you own items which enables them to cut peoples hours and lay people off. Besides, I just don't feel like doing all of that for nothing to increase their profits. Same goes for Walmart too. That's when I started shopping Stew Leonards and IGA but it's just too expensive. I do know one thing. We've been trying to buy as much food without preservatives and steroids and hormones as we can and we've both felt better since eating this way.
