Shoprite by me in PA has a sale this Friday and Saturday only.  4.79 a lb. It is normally a week sale but this year just 2 days.  

It's being extended into next week. Between Shop Rite and Acme, who has it for $5.99, I usually end up buying three or four to use throughout the year. Rib Roasts are selling for double the price in Costco, Sams, and BJ's. I say "rib" roast because it's "choice" grade of meat. Shop Rite gives you regular for $4.79 or Angus for a dollar more per pound, but they are both choice grade. I hesitate to call it "prime" rib because that implies a "prime" grade of meat. 

Buyer beware: Acme is "Select" grade, which is below "choice". Doesn't mean it's not good. Just more lean.

I have had Prime steaks before and although good not worth the arm and leg you pay IMO.  The ones from the local stores are very good.

My Son ate a Prime Wagyu Steak for his Birthday. It cost me $70. The next day he wanted a Venison Loin. Said it's better.

low and slow, 200 degrees if youre oven will suport it.  Dont do the reverse sear, let it rest after it reaches 122 degrees for 20-30 minutes then blast it at the highest heat your oven will go to for about 10-15minutes

Prime in “prime rib” doesn’t refer to the grade of the meat it’s referring to the cut which is the rib primal. 
 

Those are great prices when a ribeye cost around 20$ a pound right now! Buy the standing rib roast and cut them into ribeye for a fraction of the cost.

Yes, I have heard that explanation. But if you look at the labeling and advertising, most say "rib" roast so as not to get into squabbles about grade. In Shop Rites Ad, the state Prime Rib and Rib Roast on the same ad. The choice cut of roast at $4.79 they state Prime. The Angus at $5.79 they state Rib. A Rib steak is not called Prime Rib steak. I agree with your explanation but I feel it's very misleading and probably won't change.

I bought a Rib Roast yesterday at Acme and it was a "select" grade of meat which is under choice grade. They labeled it as a Rib Roast. It would be a stretch calling that a Prime Rib.

I think that prime rib is overrated. And way overpriced. I could think of a half dozen cuts I’d rather have.

yeah 6-8 pounds is a nice size. apparently they are all out as of now. im thinking of buying the $175 cut and maybe vaccum seal sections of it. i could cook 3 bones at a time.

If it's on sale with coupon for under $5 a pound, how can it be $175 ?  Since they limit you to 1 , last year I bought the biggest and cut it into smaller roast and vacuum sealed them.
