Nice score!
Wish our Smiths would do that.
Smiths is part of Kroger.

Hopefully coming to a Kroger near me...

Hitting kroger up after our evening walk for milk and beer. I always shop for meat every other day to stock the freezer.

Does that sign say .99 cent a pound?

Does that sign say .99 cent a pound?

If it does, I'm burning up the road to get there.

 

[DougE]

Nope ........ $2.99/lb.

 

[DemonPit]

I just checked, no BOGO where I'm at.

 

[cptnding]

Only bogo they have in North GA is marinated tenderloins. Boo

 

[Nefarious]

I look for those every week at our Kroger affiliate. This week it is pork tenderloin BOGO, not my favorite.

I was just in my local Kroger a few hours ago and bone in pork butts are $.88/lb. I felt bad walking away as I have more than enough in the freezers.

Kroger has briskets on sale. Choice (blue imprint) for $2.99/lb. I scored a 19.xxlb packer for $59.xx. imo, there's little to no flat, mainly the point. This thing is massive. I'm guessing a 22hr+ cook.

SCORE!!

My wife said no more briskets, I already had one in the freezer, and 2 more vac sealed servings, plus the 2lbs cubed for chili.

Baby back ribs and bone-in pork shoulders are also 2.99/lb. I may have to score 4 racks or so.

In my area Meijers has bone in butts for $1.69. Last week Kroger had brisket @ $2.99

 

[DemonPit]

Yeah, I'm 100% anti meijers!!
Stupid azz lady thought I stole a bottle of tequila. THEY forget to remove the security cap and the lady never gave me my reciept. The door gastapo asked me why the security alarms went off. It was a 10 minute ordeal, and I had some very select choice words for her and management.

I only go there to return the bottles/cans. Then I buy the cheapest item, collect my $$, and walk out happy!
Lol

If it's like my local store (owned by Kroger), their BOGO sales are bunk. They double the price from last week, and then tell you you're getting one for free. Like we can't do math.

 

[mr_whipple]

That's the Harris Teeter maneuver here, but they do it with baby backs, not pork butt. They jack the price up from normal, so the ribs are $7.99/lb.

 

[DemonPit]

Jewelry stores and the like do this all the time. Say it's a huge sale, only ro jack the prices up, then give a discount. Only for the sale price to be exact as before, or even slightly more expensive in the end.

I pulled a 9.21lb butt out of the freezer bottom on Saturday to thaw in ice cold water. It's been in there a while because the price was 99 cents/lb. I haven't seen anything less that $1.78/lb for two years.

Sunday morning I made the mojo marinade and started the butt on a 24-hour soak. Later, I baked two loaves of Cuban bread. Monday morning, 5 AM, the butt, WITH the marinade in a stainless DO went in a 300°F oven (too dry outside to use the smoker or Kettle). 5.75 hours at 300°F got me to 206°F IT, but there was still a bit of probe resistance. Turned the oven to 170°F for 3 hours and it was perfect.

Made Cubano sandwiches last night. Plenty left for tonight. Will try to remember pics.

I'd buy 6 butts at 99 cents a pound.

 

[noboundaries]

Cubano sandwiches with homemade Cuban bread, Frenches mustard, mojo pork, sliced Costco ham, Swiss cheese, and kosher dill pickles. Buttered bread toasted inside and out with the constructed sandwich pressed thin.

Tough to build the sandwich and take pics.

Both the bread and the pork are easy to make. I've smoked the meat before and the smoke overpowered the tangy citrus flavors of the mojo marinade. The house oven was easy but needed a hint of smoke. Next time I'll put the pork in a Dutch Oven in the Kettle or smoker, leave it covered for 3 hours, then uncover to finish.

Looks delicious! I'm hungry now.
Care to share your recipe for your bread ?
That is the one thing I am lacking for mine.
