Currently Safeway has corned beef for $1.79/lb. Raleys, has it for $2.47/lb, or you can step up to round for $3.47/lb. They also have Black Angus and it's $3.77 and $3.97 for round. I happen to like Angus, so that price is okay with me. Whether I do a. corned beef this year remains to be seen.
A British Thermal Unit (Btu) is a measure of energy content, usually used to describe the energy content of fuels. Because a Btu is so small, energy is usually measured in millions of Btus. 1 Btu = the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one pound of water (which is equivalent to one pint) by one degree Fahrenheit. This is roughly the heat produced from burning one match. 1,000 Btu = four-fifths of the energy contained in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
A British thermal unit (Btu) is a measure of the heat content of fuels. It is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of liquid water by 1 degree Fahrenheit at the temperature that water has its greatest density (approximately 39 degrees Fahrenheit).
