I'm wondering what the going price per pound is for pork butts. Today I saw Sam's Club had them for $1.58 / lb. Is this a good price?
 
I get them from the butcher and from Wegman's at $1.29 @ pound.

If I travel out to the Base Commissary I can get them for $0.99 per pound.
 
Being in cow country I get great prices on beef Pork.... not so much 1.97 -2.28 lb for butts Spares are 2.95 lb and BB 3.95 lb or more.
 
Just paid 1.79 a pound for two butts cryo'd from Kroger. Typically my Sam's Club has em for about 1.69 I think it is, maybe a little more, maybe a little less. Last time I went out to my Sam's they didn't have any on the shelves or in the back though, so Kroger it was. I've been craving some Pulled pork.
 
i get shoulder for 1.29 a pound everyday at wegmans. nowhere i've found can come close to that price
 
$1.58 is the everyday price for Sams here.

Its a pretty good price considering Costco is about $1.85, Bilo and Walmart are consistently about $1.99
 
With butt does quality of the meat matter ?

Yes, quality matters a lot.

If you are injecting.... and basically homogenizing, quality matters less.

It slays me that judges say they want to taste the pork and then reward soy and base injections. They want to think they are tasting pork.
