Where should I buy bones tomorrow?

Anonymous
I know they’re available at Whole Foods, but they’re expensive. Where can I buy them more cheaply?

H-Mart and Lotte have various types of frozen bones but they’re not as cheap as they used to be. Are you looking to make bone broth?

Union Meat in Eastern Market has a ton - marrow bones, beef knuckles, neck bones ... I've been eying them to make soup myself. I'm not sure how much cheaper than whole foods.

Yep, looking to make bone broth, and H-Mart was in my mind (closer than Lotte). I’ve got to believe it’s cheaper than Union Market? A

I’d compare. I went to the H-Mart in Wheaton after a long time and was quite surprised by how high the prices were.

What kind?

I buy a whole rotisserie chicken, strip the meat, and use the bones for chicken broth.

Update: I went to Union Market - we were generally int he area and I decided to make an outing of it. The marrow bones were $5.69 a pound which isn’t exactly cheap but I have to say they look pretty incredible.

Did you go to Union Market, or Union Meat at Eastern Market?

You didn’t pay much over H Mart prices.

I did. The bones didn't look that great.

Ha! I went to the butcher at Union Market. I thought $5.39 was not crazy considering how fancy that place was and how amazing the bones look like. And DS loved lunch.

I agree with you about H-Mart - I go there for the great produce and items you can’t get anywhere else, not the prices.

OP again! I just realized just now that the recommendation wasn’t even for Union Market. Well luckily they had them!

Yes! I spent $400 there today. It used to be impossible to spend half that.
