Swine Spectator
is Blowin Smoke!
I think we all watch meat prices pretty carefully. However, I have been less concerned about rub prices. I used to be adamant about making my own rubs. I recent years, I have taken to trying store-bought varieties. However, it seems to me that the prices have gone way up in the past year or so.
Plowboys Yardbird is one of my favorites. I used to pay $7.99 for the 14oz at Bass Pro, but lately its either $9.99 or $10.99.
I was at Ace Hardware today and they had all of the Dizzy Pig varieties for $10.99 for 8oz.
Even crazier than that, Williams-Sonoma had a series of rubs this summer $12.99 for 3oz tins!
I guess I'm going back to making my own.
