I'd ask the managers at your local stores! And I agree--definitely an occasional indulgence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shrimp#post-2326902 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 10:30:24 +0000 Alivoo01 2326902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: We buy ours from Kroger also. They're always running deals on their jumbo shrimps. Each bag will last us 2-3 meals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shrimp#post-2326901 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 10:30:13 +0000 808love 2326901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The tastiest shrimp I have ever eaten is Whole Foods. Second best is Costco. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shrimp#post-2326897 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 10:28:04 +0000 Pancakes 2326897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: I'm on the East Coast but I feel like I rarely see U.S. Gulf Shrimp in our markets. Maybe we're too far away? Such a bummer. I would happily pay a premium for it (though it would have to be an occasional indulgence!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shrimp#post-2326817 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 09:31:37 +0000 honeybear 2326817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as Tanjowen; US Gulf shrimp only (the imported and/or farmed ones are almost always bad news for the environment, and probably also human health), and they're pricey (at least $10/lb.) at the local grocery stores, so I do not buy them often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shrimp#post-2326809 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 09:24:43 +0000 mrsjyw 2326809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shrimp is a staple protein in our house! Dh buys jumbo shrimp at Kroger when there's a sale and stocks up. I buy a couple Costco bags for any gaps In between, but the raw jumbo shrimp from Kroger tastes better and isn't as rubbery as the Costco sheimp! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shrimp#post-2326803 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 09:22:07 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2326803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Publix- jumbo, frozen with shells &amp; tails on. I pay anywhere from $9.99 to $16.99/ bag. If I was a better meal planner I'd just stock up when they were on sale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shrimp#post-2326772 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 09:02:36 +0000 looch 2326772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We buy ours frozen, from the grocery store when they offer it for $10 off. It is then about $15 for for the bag, which I would guess is a pound (prefrozen weight). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shrimp#post-2326771 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 09:02:06 +0000 mediagirl 2326771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: what. That is crazy! I'll have to see what ours offers... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shrimp#post-2326767 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 09:00:14 +0000 snowjewelz 2326767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you can find a Chinese market by you, go there! Fresh unpeeled/head on shrimp right now in NY is like 3 lbs for $10~ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shrimp#post-2326741 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 08:44:31 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2326741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think costco has a good price on them. If we buy the bag, it will last us a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shrimp#post-2326739 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 08:43:02 +0000 Sparkler 2326739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since I don't have the time to peel and devein, I but frozen, peeled deveined, raw shrimp. I honestly usually buy it at Target where it is $10 a pound. At my grocery store, it's $16 a pound and I try to keep dinner meats at or below $10 a lb. It sometimes will go on sale at whole foods, but at the family owned grocery store near me it never is on sale! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shrimp#post-2326717 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 08:28:35 +0000 BananaPancakes 2326717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We buy from our grocery store. I buy the already peeled and de-veined shrimp and it's usually $7.99-8.99 a lb. </p> <p>@Tanjowen: GA white gulf shrimp are the best! I'd happily pay $10/lb if I could find it fresh around here. I'm in central FL, so you'd think it wouldn't be too hard to find, but for some reason it seems grocers only ever carry previously frozen imported shrimp, which is nowhere near the same. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shrimp#post-2326439 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 20:25:18 +0000 youboots 2326439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fred Meyer about $7/lb, fresh, not peeled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shrimp#post-2326436 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 20:24:01 +0000 Tanjowen 2326436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I purchase ours at our local kroger or publix. I only buy shrimp from our state (GA) and the price hurts. We rarely, if ever, eat shrimp anymore. The last time I bought it was $9.99 per lb. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shrimp#post-2325875 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 14:01:30 +0000 mediagirl 2325875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where do you buy your shrimp? What is a good price for it? I have bought it at Costco but it hurts every time we buy a 2lb bag there. That being said, the shrimp we have gotten there have always seemed like they were good quality. </p>
