It all depends on which part of metro area stores you shop at,,ethnic areas have more of the odd cuts of meat,,but most decent butchers will special order your cuts from their supplier,.My Brit wife does it alla time .

Boneless roasts/steaks are not allowed in my house (except as dog food, but even then...)
7-bone is one of my favs!

Roasting soup bones along side a boneless roast is not the same. Not by a long shot. But for certain crock pot recipes it can be a close second.

You are right that grocery stores don't carry bone-in roasts in their cases very often. However, Safeway butchers will cut to order. I suspect King Soops will too. You may have to wait 10 minutes but so what.

Sometimes they have already butchered and packaged all their meat so you may be out of luck re timing. I shop Conifer Safeway on Friday mornings and have almost always been able to get the cuts I want. (I think they get meat deliveries Thurs afternoon for the weekend rush).

Ask your grocery store butcher which day(s) are best for custom cut meat.

Good luck!

If you go down the hill try "Tony's Meat Market" There is multiple stores, I like the one in Littleton and have always liked their meat.
