Pork Butt Price

[JckDanls 07]

Just picked up 5 a couple weeks ago at GFS... $1.49lb ... Got all my seasonings and casings from Owensbbq.com... Now I need time from work (that nasty four letter word)...

They stoped selling twin packs here a few years ago... I liked them better than the single packs (usually swift) ...

Grabbed a Butt (pun intended ) at Sam's today for $1.98/lbs. Probably gonna debone it and cut it into pork steaks. not sure yet but I grabbed that butt while it was on sale

It’s a point to clarify. Bone in or boneless. All of the, I get are boneless for around $3

Probably gonna debone it and cut it into pork steaks.

Last couple I did went to sausage , steaks and some bacon .
Got 2 nice boneless before I hit the bone . Did 2 bone in with a clean hacksaw . ( no more of that )
Some chunks for sausage . Rolled some of the fat cap around some chunks and tied it into a roast .


Saved a 1 lb strip of the fat cap . Cured and smoked it for bacon .


For me it's better use than just doing pulled pork .

I was trying to avoid the restaurant mass purchase stores as Gordon Food Service (GFS), Costco Business Center (CBC), etc.
CBC has butt and cushion for $1.69/#. I'm on the count down to migrating north so no big purchases. Got my last tri tip to grind for last round of summer sausage.

That's some creativity with the butt

Somewhere around the 28th, Keith.

We'll be back around the third week of October.

Fueling Around , if you wanna drop any of that sausage off to save space or weight I'm right on your way.
Around here $1.99 is a regular sale price

That is excellent. Thanks for the suggestion. Plan on parting it out later today or tomorrow.

Fairly regularly 99₵/lb. Regularly $1.49/lb...

They've crept up a little up around Rock Hill, last couple months the sales have been either 1.29 or 1.49 up from .99

Pork loin has crept up too. It's gone from 1.49 or 1.79 on sale to around 1.99 at the Lions and Teeters.

The going rate in the Detroit area is $1.49 to $1.99 a pound on sale. I did get four of these on sale because they were expiring the next day.View attachment 716217

good score

If I had to pay retail for beef, I wouldn't be eating much of it. It's getting to the point where I'm considering raising a couple hogs as well, the way pork prices are trending. Pork has, in the past, been cheap enough not to bother but that seems to be changing.

You ain't just kidding. I almost never buy beef anymore. Once every couple of months a brisket. But I honestly don't remember the last time I bought beef personally except for a brisket. Wife buys ground and stew beef once in a while.

I guess I bought a couple chuck roasts to do Mississippi pot roast a few months back - maybe January, I think?

As for pork, at the local WalMart, it's been $1.74/lb for bone-in pork butt for a while, maybe 6 months or so. Boneless has been $2.49/lb or so, but last time I went in, I think it was up to $2.89 or $3.29/lb. This is all Prairie Fresh brand, which is pretty good. That was crazy high. No way. Costco usually runs boneless pork butt 2-packs for $2.49/lb or so. Swift brand, I think.

Haven't gotten any lately, as my freezers are full as full gets. I need to go through and throw some stuff away that's been stuck in the bottom/backs of the freezers for a few years. lol

1.74/lb and one was one sale. It might also depend on brand.

Just a heads up for those here in SC, but I got a tip from a very reliable source that Food Lions in the area will have Boston Butts for 99₵/lb. next week starting on Wednesday April 23...limit 2...

 

[912smoker]

Thanjs for the heads up Charles!
And a good price on ham this week @ .99 lb.

[jenson]

youre making me jealous! im in CT and im lucky to have found a boneless butt for $2 a pound last week. Bought the biggest i could find to smoke at 5lb. Usually this is way over priced at around $4lb. Beef, frak forget about it eve london broil's like $6lb. Brisket i cant even glance at cause the price goes up :)

Shoulders run around $2.49/pound regular. There was a sale before the holidays last year it went on sale for $1.49/pound. I grabbed 240 pounds for our Italian and breakfast sausage. I was shopping yesterday, it was $1.99/pound. Grabbed a 9 pounder for pulled pork sliders this weekend. Whole loin is on sale for $1.99. Going to grab 4 or five for our Canadian bacon.
At the same store, Angus delmonico steaks are $32.99/pound. At that price, there won't be much beef in the diet.
