How do you guys compare bone-in vs boneless on a $/lb basis. Assuming this price is for bone-in which i love for pulled pork, but prefer boneless for sausage.

Good deal. The thing I've found out about Food Lion, they don't really monitor how many you purchase even though the limit is always 2. They've rang up 4 in one transaction and I've also bought 2, put them in my truck, and gone back in and bought 2 more...

Good luck . $1.99 bone in , $2.09 boneless over here . That's Gordon's food service , normally cheaper .

Same price per pound for the pork , but you're paying for the labor to take the bone out on the boneless . If it's $.50 per pound I take it out myself . Right now it's $.10 , I'll buy boneless .

I have to bone out a butt to make some brats so I thought I'd update this.

Whole butt from freezer is about 11 lbs...

Boned out...

Bone was 11 ozs. and the meat was about 10 lbs...

So for 10 lbs. of boneless meat, I paid about $11. Bone and liquid/blood loss was about 10¢/lb., but boneless butts are around here $1.99/lb. on sale when they can be found...

with a 2 butt pack, the bones will weigh about a pound....maybe a little less....

Damn I wish we could find those prices here on the west coast! Of course freezer space may be an issue.
