The stuff you use to make pulled pork - how much a pound usually?

Here in Buffalo fresh pork picnic and Boston butts go for 2.49 to 2.99 a pound. I thought this stuff was supposed to be cheap? Or maybe it's just me who's cheap.
 
Al,
I know what you mean. I was at federal on Saturday, and they want 2.99 a pound. If you want a good source on local pork, drive on out to Niagara County Produce. They are at Millersport & Transit. Another good place is Shawnee Meat Market. They have thier own on site smokehouse there also. They make thier own hot dogs with no fillers.
 
Al,
Wegman's has had butt for $1.49/lb in the past. I picked up two two-packs for that price sometime in June. Also, I was in Sam's Club here in Rochester Saturday and I seem to recall they had two-packs for $1.89/lb. I know they had spare ribs for $1.99/lb untrimmed, and trimmed for $2.09/lb.

HTH. Peace. Out.

Whoo doggy... $2.09 for ribs, trimmed? You mean St. Louis cut? Wegmans has them in the flyer for $2.49/lb and I got all excited. Now I have to find someone with a Sam's Club card ...

Thanks for the info.
 
Al,
Hold the bus!! My bad. Just went back to my notes -- Sam's had trimmed (St. Louis style) bibs for $2.99/lb (not $2.09/lb as I posted earlier). Still and all, not a bad price. I'll bet the Wegman's @ $2.49 is a full rack that need trimming. But, I bet you can get the butcher at Wegman's to do the trimming for you at no charge... Worth a try at any rate...

Peace. Out.

Here in central KY today I bought a 3 pack of untrimmed spares at Sam's for 2.19 lb. and a 3 pack of baby backs for 2.99lb. That's the best price I've seen anywhere here. They weren't "flavor" injected either, just pure pork. Great Q'ing to all.

In southern NJ I just paid 1.49 for racks of ribs. Last time I bought a butt (boned) - 1.59. Chicken is usually .79. "Oh" and a case off Rolling rock is 13.99 (very important ingrediant!).
 
And Greenspud tells us their is no inflation - I think he should get re-tired.

Just a note to those in WNY - I think the best spares price in these parts is Sam's Club. Not St. Louis cut exactly, but with at least the brisket bone removed: $1.99.

Get this: Niagara County Produce has pork butt at $1.38/lb.

Load me up, hoss.

Just bought pork butt for .99/lb on special at Ingles (groc. chain in the south). It is normally around $2.00/lb
 
I just bought a bunch of meat at Costco in Los Angeles for a barbecue at work. The pork butt was $.95 per pound. The brisket was $2.25 per pound. The spare ribs were $1.99 per pound. And the loin back ribs were $3.99 per pound.

I'm going to season them on Tuesday and cook them Wednesday night. Take them off the cooker at 9 or 9:30, wrap them in foil, and put them in a cooler covered in towels so we can eat around 1:00.

In Chicago Jewel (regional grocery chain) has baby backs for......get this... $5.99/lb!!! I have not seen them for less then $4.09/lb at local stores in chicago. I guess I'll stick with different butt recipies for the near future.
 
I checked at our local DeKalb Farmers' Market, a huge place generally regarded to have pretty good prices, a few days ago and they were also $5.99/lb. They looked very good, though. Spares were $2.99/lb.

Buy a whole hog, price worked out to about $1.65/lb for everything, including cutting, smoking cost, plus you control how you want it cut, so you can get the hams unsmoked and cut as roasts to use yourself in a smoker. My last hog yielded some fine roasts, baby backs, spare ribs, etc. Of course you need the freezer space.
