There is nothing quite like walking into a old-time butchers shop and picking out the best and freshest meats for your holiday meal while sharing a conversation with your butcher as he wraps it up for you to take home to enjoy with your family. Our area is home to many local butcher shops that are offering great deals on a wide selection of meats this season.

AA Meats in Lakewood:
Rib Roast, whole (16 lbs up), $7.49 lb, Roast, $7.99 lb and seasoned, $8.09 lb. Smoked Turkeys: Toms, $39.95, Hens, $29.95. Bone-In Ham, $3.19 lb, Pork Crown Roast: $3.19 lb, Boneless Lamb Leg: $4.98 lb, and Pork Leg: $1.89 lb.

AA Meats Thanksgiving list is already up in the store.  If you would like to order these items, you will have to go into the store, put a $5 deposit down (which goes towards the purchase), and this guarantees the item you want.  Customers that do not get on the list take the chance of the item being sold out, so the earlier you put your deposit down, the better. For a complete list of AA’s products, visit their website at: www.aameats.net.
