Thanks for the tips. I will try those cuts I have a Latin market nearby that I go to quite a bit and they do have good pork but I’m not sure they have pork butt. I’m looking for the best places to buy anything from 8 to 12 pounds.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.
I have been to wild Fork and they have some good stuff but their prices on brisket are crazy. I mean even the big cuts they’re at eight dollars a pound.Try wild fork foods.com

Ask. Chances are they have cases of of the larger cuts in the walk-in. Heck, even my Sam's Club has things like chuck roll (the 20# boneless shoulder roasts) or plate ribs that are never in the meat counter because they re-package them or sell to restaurants or Club members that ask.Thanks for the tips.
