I have made some screaming good deals on pork butts at Latino and Asian markets. Closer to Christmas the Latino markets will have sales on pork because it's tamale time, so keep an eye open for those.
Latino markets will also have carne asada beef that is sliced, which is perfect for jerky. And Asian markets will have shabu shabu (1/4" thick slices of pork butt) and beef ribeye sliced the same thickness.

Of course both have fresh herbs and veggies along with the items particular to regional dishes.
