    🛒 Before You Checkout

    What you need to know before you checkout at the grocery store or market:

    The typical price I pay for corned beef in the store is around $5 a pound. If you shop around you should be able to get a price close to that. I like to buy it at Costco. But you can find it at places like Walmart, Sprouts, and Trader Joe's.

    Whole Foods Market carries uncured corned beef. That just means they didn't add any sodium nitrites to it except those that naturally occur in salt or celery. Any meat that is labelled as uncured I find always will contain celery powder.
