8.92kg @ $17.48 equals $0.89 Canadian

Don't let one post fool you. That's our "once a year" sale that a major chain puts on around the sausage making time of year.
Typically any pork in our chains these days is ALL "seasoned" (they are even seasoning beef now!! YUCK), and they almost never carry a proper butt or picnic.
I buy a lot of my meat at a butcher about 2 blocks from my house. I pay around $2.99/lb but he trims and cuts exactly to my specifications. I figure between the gas I save walking and the extra fat I don't have to pay for I would pay about $2.25/lb.
BBQ is starting to catch a bit of steam though in Ontario so perhaps prices may drop as our cuts become less of a "specialty items" as demand increases.

Scooter's right, but he does better than I do. I use a local butcher who trims to my specifications and pay $3.99 lb. It's less if it's bone in.
BTW, Scooter, where are you? I'm in in downtown TO.

Sorry - forgot to answer: yes, sammies for the guys, then food saved two packager for down the road.
Hey Mike... I'm from the metropolis of Guelph. Not much going around here in the world of Q, but things are looking up. S.O.S. BBQ in St Jacobs area... and now Hogtails in Waterloo. Only a matter of time.
I'm usually in Whitby 2-3 times a month so I usually hit up Buster Rhino's for lunch. If you haven't been i definately recommed if you are ever out that way.

I went to grad school out your way, an lived there for about 5 years. Used to go to the Breslau pub for their rolled ribs. They took a rack only about 5 inches wide, put a bread stuffing on them, rolled them and baked them. nothing like Q, but at $5 a plate with sauerkraut or cole slaw and a slice of buttered bread, it was heaven for us always hungry kids.
Went by there a bunch of years ago, but it was gone.
