Pork butt prices?

[Paul Pearson]

What is considered a good price for pork butts? The supermarket had a two pack for 1.69/lb, couldn't tell right away if they were bone in or not. The single wrapped butts were 2.69/lb. If 1.69 is a good price I will snag a package and smoke them up next week.

We have a local grocery that has them for $1.59 bone in about once a month. Costco has them for $1.89 boneless routinely.

Most recently local grocery had them for $1.19/lb but it has fluctuated the last few months up to $1.69/lb.

In my area. It's .99 cents for picnics and 1.99 for Boston butt.

 

[Matt Heebner]

Sams Club regularly has them for 1.68/lbs. If you buy an entire case the price drops to I think 1.34/lbs.

 

[Dave Harris]

Local stores lately have been around $1.29 on sale, sometimes you can catch .99.

Meat prices are regional. You'll see better prices in areas that the meat is more popular.

I paid $1.69/lb last week at my local Harris Teeter for a 9lb Boston Butt. I gave my mother a taste of it this past weekend (my first try with one) and she pulled one out of the freezer for me to have another go. She only paid 99¢/lb at Piggly Wiggly.

Welcome Paul!

In my experience about 1.99 is retail, .99 is a steal and anything in between is a fair bargain. Butts are usually a little more than picnics. They taste good no matter the price!

 

[Chad Bman]

Local grocery store has $.99 right now for picnic
I usually load up as it'll be a couple/few more months before I see that again.

Thanks guys. I've had the smoker since memorial day and have done quite a few different meats but haven't tackled a butt yet. I am looking forward to that and trying a brisket sometime soon.

I find that prices you see in the USA are always much cheaper than anything in Canada.

That being said, the best price I've found so far in Winnipeg is at Sausage Makers Delicatessen in Winnipeg, MB at around $2.00-2.20/lb bone-in Boston Butt.
