Is it normal that ribs in supermarkets are cheaper than those in vegetable markets? No matter what ingredients are used, the prices of different qualities are naturally different. Get what you pay for, and meet different users. The pork ribs in the vegetable market cost 25 yuan a kilo, while those in the supermarket only cost 14 yuan a kilo, because the quality of pork ribs is different.
The reason why the price difference is so much must be that the freshness of ribs is different. The ribs sold in the supermarket are all frozen ribs, and the price is definitely cheap. The pork sold in the market was just slaughtered that day, and the price must be expensive. Frozen ribs are more common. It's made of leftover ribs sold at a pork stall. This was collected by a special person. Some stale and unsalable ribs or fragmentary ribs are disposed of at a low price. Then, in order to make the ribs look better, they are all cut into pieces and then frozen, and then transferred to the frozen product market for sale. The price is lower than that of fresh ribs, which are generally used in fast food restaurants and canteens.
There is also the difference in origin, which leads to different prices. In China, pork is one of the most commonly eaten meats, while in foreign countries, beef and mutton are the most commonly eaten. Pork generally uses more lean meat, so the remaining ribs and bones will be exported to other countries. Although foreign pork is frozen and then exported to China, it is said that it is qualified and compliant, but the taste and taste of these frozen pork are definitely not as good as fresh pork, so the price of these frozen ribs is definitely cheaper.
Why are ribs in the supermarket cheaper than those in the vegetable market? The pork sold in the supermarket may be ordinary pork, such as binary or ternary pork, which is cheaper. The vegetable market sells local pigs, which are more expensive. And the ribs in the supermarket are not all so cheap, because a whole pair of ribs is composed of pig neck bone, pig front row, pig middle row, pig back row and pig keel, and the prices are different.
Our favorite ribs are actually pigs in the front row, middle row and back row, which are relatively expensive, even if we buy them in the vegetable market. Moreover, the ribs sold in many supermarkets are still chopped and sold, as long as you look carefully, you can see it. Some people bought it directly without looking carefully, only to find that they didn't want to buy it when they came back.
Generally, supermarkets have specialized purchasing personnel. Many things will be taken into account when purchasing, and eventually some large slaughterhouses will be chosen. They have regular suppliers, because the demand is large and the price is relatively cheap. Pork sold in the vegetable market may come from small slaughterhouses or even be slaughtered privately. Their pigs come from some retail investors, and the price will be relatively high.
There is a special freezer in the freshness supermarket to keep the unsalable meat until the next day. Because these meat and bones are not fresh, they can only be sold at a discount. Some supermarkets even hoard a lot of goods at low prices and sell them at high prices. The price of such pig bones will definitely be much cheaper than fresh ones. The pork bones sold in the vegetable market are almost all fresh, and the price is generally not much cheaper depending on the market.
Marketing means If a supermarket wants to make money, it needs certain marketing means besides occupying a favorable position, having excellent products, complete varieties, fair prices and thoughtful service, and the most commonly used marketing means are price reduction promotion and membership card. Of course, not every product has to be reduced in price to promote sales. They just need to lower the prices of some commonly used goods, which can be described as attracting jade. Ordinary citizens, especially the elderly, like things with preferential prices best. They would rather go a long way to buy it. For example, to buy ribs, you can't just buy ribs all the way, but also buy some other dishes and seasonings to match, and buy some other things by the way.
Through this kind of promotion, supermarkets can earn money back from other commodities, and also make their own reputation to retain more old customers. This is killing two birds with one stone! There is a supermarket near me that often engages in such marketing methods. Some goods are on sale, and people around them are scrambling to buy them. After they bought it, they went everywhere to help the supermarket do free publicity! Even if some old people don't have to buy anything, they will sneak in every three days as long as they have time, and they have completely become loyal fans of supermarkets.
It is better to buy fresh ribs in the vegetable market than in the supermarket, and try to eat less frozen ribs in the supermarket.
Families who eat must go to the vegetable market to buy fresh ribs, which will have higher taste and nutritional value. Cheap pork must be unhealthy pork or stale pork. Some fast food restaurants use these frozen ribs the most in pursuit of profits. When cooking, they add some seasonings to cook together, and the dishes they make are as delicious as those that non-professionals can't eat.
Usually, the meat in the vegetable market is fresher than that in the supermarket. The meat in the supermarket is usually frozen meat, and so are the ribs. Because of the large flow of people and the large purchase volume, supermarkets often hoard goods.
The low price of ribs in supermarkets may be due to the ultra-low price of ribs frozen for a long time and about to expire, which also attracts consumers who are extremely sensitive to price. After all, people who go to the supermarket may be attracted by ultra-low-priced special goods, but when they actually buy them, they will buy some other regular-priced goods, which is also a promotional effect. In short, it is better to sell it than to buy it. Anyway, businesses will not suffer.
Don't buy 1 sticky ribs. You'd better touch it with your hands when choosing the meeting, so that you can see whether the ribs are fresh or not. If the ribs with sticky surface are left for a long time, they are not fresh at all, because the surface will secrete a layer of mucus, and even if they are cleaned, they will not taste so good.
2. Pork ribs with too wet noodles With the increase of pork demand, the market is slowly expanding, so it is inevitable that some pork with poor quality will appear on the market, especially pork with water injection. I believe many people have seen it in the news, so be sure to check whether water is injected when buying ribs. If the surface of ribs is too wet, it may be because of this time, or the frozen meat taken out of the refrigerator is not fresh. Ribs like this are not very delicious.
3. Inelastic ribs When you touch the ribs with your hands, you should not only observe the surface of the ribs, but also observe whether the ribs are healthy. If I press the ribs, they will bounce back immediately, so it can be proved that this is a healthier rib, the meat is tight and it will be delicious. If you press it, it doesn't bounce at all, which proves that this pork chop is not fresh and unhealthy at all. It may also be sick pork, so most people don't buy this kind of pork.
