Bay Scallops - $2.99 for 12 ounces at Kroger through Saturday night

[OhioGuy]

I love scallops, but I'm usually put off by their price - $8.99 a pound
or more. Through Saturday night, Kroger stores have "Bay Scallops"
(farmed, not from the sea) for only $2.99 per 12 ounce package. This
equals just $3.99 per pound.

I was able to pick up 8 packages, though I did leave 5 out for other
people. For supper today, I made a garlic butter pasta with scallops.

Since my Dad loves these things, I also went up to the service desk and
got a rain check for 40 more packages of them at the $2.99 price. Store
manager says he will put in a special order for them, and call me when
they come in. I'll keep them in the deep freeze until my Dad's birthday.

So if your local store is out, try getting a rain check at the service
desk, as long as you've got the freezer space.
