Yep. You read right. I got crabs today… and my husband loved it. But first, let me provide some background…
We hit up the asian market today out in the suburbs and wow, what a difference in prices. Normally we shop in the neighboring suburbs since the prices are more afforable than in the city where we live. However this time, we went further out to get some new scenery. I’m so glad we did. Some of our awesome buys include:
– strawberries for $.99/lb
– blackberries for $.99/pkg
– blueberries for $1.79/lrg pkg
– peaches for $.69/lb
– plums for $.99/lb
– broccoli crowns for $.49/lb
– yellow onions for $.39/lb
– red onions for $.49/lb
– green onions @ 4 bunches/$1.00
– vine tomatoes @ $.79/lb
– shallots @ $.79/lb
– seedless cucumber @ $.79 each
– seafood mix for $1.99/lb
– vegetable dumplings for $2.99 @ buy one get one free
– boneless, skinless chicken breast @ $1.49/lb
– fresh, live blue crabs @ $1.49/lb
These are snappy little buggers…
$1.49/lb for blue crabs is a terrific price! Great crab dinner you had tonight.
LOL…your post title is too funny.
Yum…I love fresh seafood!!!
You are silly! I’m glad your husband loved your crabs 🙂
Seriously though, everything looks beautiful!
What a great find! You’re so lucky- there’s not much better than fresh seafood!
Wow! I love crabs and they look great!
Those prices are incredible!
Those look great! What wonderful prices you found.
I love the title of your post hehehe! They look great!
Wow, you found some awesome prices on all of that produce and meat. I love finding deals like that! The meal sounds delicious, but I got a little sad at the go to sleep little crabbies part…lol
Incredible buys! I wish we had a market like that. That crab dish looks like something out of a fancy restaurant.
lol at “go to sleep little crabbies!”
looks like a fun cooking adventure 🙂 not sure I’d be up for it! btw I love your new blog look! I hadn’t clicked over from reader in awhile. The colors are fabulous!
Our husbands would SO get along. We went to the Asian market this weekend and it was my husband’s second time ever. He went straight back to the seafood section and starting pointing out all the crabs and fish he wanted to take home.
What great buys! I have to say I’ve never made crabs–mostly because I’m a little intimidated by them. But this looks so easy! Since I’m a Kansas girl, though, I’ve never eaten a whole crab (except for soft shells), so I’m not quite sure how to do it and that intimidates me, too.
I love Crab, but Ive never prepared it at home. Ive only ever had king crab legs, so I think a whole crab like that would scare the hell outta me. lol
Woah woah woah! Okay, hold on. First, which Chicago suburbs did you drive to, Indiana?? My partner, Do, is from Naperville and I was always under the impression that the city was cheaper than the suburbs! Maybe not the north side… so where do you shop? And as for the crabs, I’m very impressed. I’ve only ever cooked soft-shell crabs at home. My Uncle in Baltimore would occasionally hold family reunion-crab fests, but he would always buy the crabs pre-steamed at the docks, less of a mess that way. I’m so impressed that you cooked those buggers at home! Did you eat them inside as well?
Holy cow! I’m am seriously jealous over all of your wonderful buys! I wish I could find produce that cheap…
You got some really great deals!!!
Oh nos the poor crabbies. I love crab but don’t know if I would be able to cook them at home. Looks like a great recipe though!
