I wandered into a local HEB (Texas food chain) store on Tuesday for something, and took my traditional stroll past the meat departemnt. I thought I was halluicinating - whole pork loins for $1.00/lb! I only bought two - my freezer and fridge are fully stuffed with a recent flurry of sausage, salami, summer sausage and pepperoni making activity, not to mention some more beef and pork butt cryo-packs waiting to be cooked.
Went back yesterday and the "Manager's Sale" was over...
Told the wife that we need to find room for another freezer - then have one for raw materials and one for finished product!
The price of pork is skyrocketing here... Food Lion just placed an ad and have loins for $2.25 a lb now. I no longer see butts less then $119 a lb either. Whats going on? I think china has something to do with it. We are a port city with huge export terminlas. Maybe they can get more for it in China?
I will have to go check the prices at our local sam's and see if they have the loins on sale and what they cost. Then I will go to the restaurant depot where I just got my cards for and check their prices on all the meats we smoke.
I went to Kroger to get a Porkloin and ended up with 8 nice 7-9 pound butts for 75 cents a pound.....Score!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didnt get a loin...I put the butts in the freezer for later
