Local Pork Prices

[willkat98]

Is pork prices coming down?

Bobak's in Naperville (Ron_L and MadDawg) has cryo 2 packs of baby back slabs for only $2.99#. Cheapest price I've seen in a while.

What you all paying?

[Jorge]

Best deal I can find advertised this week is $3.99, which is about as low as I remember them going in the last 6 months. That's usually for racks that have been frozen too. I'd be cookin some BBs at that price

I believe these racks are frozen also Jorge.

Going for 8-10 slabs tomorrow.

Should last me through Spring.

[tommykendall]

Seems that the price dropped a tad here also.

8-10 slabs is like breakfast at Phil's.

Does that arrive in July ?

[willkat98]

Yep. Prices have been going down.

Greg, can you now shop at Those Restraunt Depot places?

There one on 127th and Kedzie, right off 294.

Today I will be picking up previously frozen BBs for 3.99/lb (which is discount on what they have been usually) and Pork Butt for 1.59 a pound. Will also be getting the (heavily trimmed) beef ribs for .88 pound.

[Arlin_MacRae]

I'm going to have to check tomorrow. Sam's is consistently the lowest in town at $3.97/lb (Alberton's is a dollar more than that), and the last time I looked it was still stuck there.

Albertsons is 3.99 this week, at least here.

[Arlin_MacRae]

Cool, I'll check tonight then! A guy can never have too much pork in his fridge.

[midnight]

Prices still up around here; $4.39/lb baby backs, $1.41/lb pork butts

Had a guy call me the other day to offer me a great deal on whole hogs - $2.47/ lb !!! I can get them for $.99 lb plus a $20 killing fee.

[parrothead]

I can get them for $.99 lb plus a $20 killing fee.

I'll kill it for ya for $10.

I think they are open to the public anyway. Not worth the time to go there. I would have to buy an absolute crapload of stuff to make it worth the time and the mileage.

Greg, when you started the restourant gig I remember you got a price for the Danish cut ( I think). Ever try them? Worth it?

[parrothead]

Danish cut

Never tried them.

I may need to correct myself. St Louis Spares for 3.29. I will need to double check the BB.

Down here in NOLA, every few months...I see BB ribs for about $2.99 / lb....on occasion a little less...I stock the deep freeze at these prices.

Lately it seems the Boston Butt roasts have been the el cheapo to get. They sell them 2 in a cryovac bag at the grocery stores here for $0.99-$1.00 / lb. I've got more of these than I know what to do with right now.

Good thing I do...I've just never been totally pleased with the butts like I have with the briskets and hams. I can't seem to get a good smoke ring on them...just bland...smoke doesn't permeate for me well enough...but, I've got about 8 or so of them in the freeze I can keep playing with...

Danish cut

Never tried them.

I've had - tasted kind of gamey/wild. Didn't care for them - these were actually imported from Denmark, maybe spoiled in transit?

not open to the public

I checked

Need food license.

And they have cuts not available at the butcher (re: prime rib Mod Phil does)

And if you didnt drive those farking gas guzzling trucks, it is mere pennies per mile.

The main page has a picture of a trailer smoker that would need a crapload of stuff put in it to make it cost effective.

Want me to put you in contact with him?

They're also open to non-profits. I use our Sports program ID to get in.

Cryopac of two butts with the bone is $1.29/# here at Smart and Final. Spares are generally $1.89 in the Cryo.

Hmmm...Albertsons has Pork Riblets on sale for 99 cents per pound. Might just try those out!

I got the riblets. Should be interesting. Anybody have experience cooking them?

[Arlin_MacRae]

I checked Sam's this weekend and their babyback prices were still just under four bucks a pound...<sigh>
