I refuse to let a buck or two determine what I will and won't make. If it was a bigger price difference it would get my attention but for $1.50 extra for a pork butt I really don't care.

I got all pulled porked out. Price around here is pretty reasonable, with prices between 1.29-1.79/lb normally, and sales show up every few months for .99/lb.
My problem was that I was cooking about 12-15 lbs every weekend for my family and a friend to split for about 3 or 4 months straight. It got to the point I started vacuum sealing a couple pounds a week because we weren't getting through it all. It's been since the end of September I think since I had pulled pork, so we might be ready again. |

It's fascinating to hear the differences in pork prices around the country. Here in NC you'd think the prices were universally lower just like beef is in Texas...but nope. It's also interesting that I can get spares already cut to st louis on sale from time to time for around 1.68/lb which is the current "sale" price for pork butt on average......however the folks in Raleigh are telling me they get .99/lb pork butt and much much higher spare rib prices. Oh well.....I reckon we all have to ride whatever wave they send our way. Just had to see if anyone else was refraining from buying pork butt because 2.99/lb isn't rare here. That's not "a couple bucks". For a cryo pack of 18lbs that's over 30 bucks. Even at 1.78/lb it's over 9 bucks(all compared to the 1.28/lb I just got). Heck that's a decent steak I'm missing out on.

I miss the south and those great deals on pork butts and shoulders. In the spring you had to ride with your windows rolled up, they were just throwing them at you. It's an awesome cut of meat, one of the few that freezing does not seem to affect.
I usually shop at our military commissary, prices there are around 1.08 to 2.08, you can't even find pork shoulder/butts consistently in markets here. Saw some in a local Giant price at 4.58 a pound once, almost rang the bell to ask the meat manager if they were crazy. |

I haven't had that problem as rainchecks are my friend!
Foodlion had a sale of $.99/lb. I went there one day and they were out of pork butts. I went and got a rain check and sent my roommate up to the store to get a rain check. I went in the next day and they were out still. I got another rain check and sent my roommate to get one as well. I went in the next day and bought up 8 pork butts and put them in the freezer. I just used the last one up just before Christmas. I am going to buy 8 more at $.99/lb using 1 of my 4 rainchecks that don't expire!
