Fresh Pork butt awesome price!

.88/lb at Yuan Ming in Mississauga.

That's no typo. Eight-eight cents per pound.

That's a great price!

Too bad it's a little far from Florida...

Bought 8 the other day for .87 and picnics for .74. But Beef and pork and chicken is cheap here in Texas.
Our HEB had chickens on for 39 lb about two weeks ago. I felt like I was stealing something when I walked
out the door with them.

Wow CRG,

Good prices. The butt runs .89 to .99 on sale up here. The local grocer was celebrating their 60^th anneversity last week and had a lot of "60's" in the prices. The yard birds were going for .60/pound - limit 2 to a customer, and that's cheap. At .39/pound I might be tempted to get a small freezer.

probably cost you more in electricity than the birds are worth.

Yeah, I'm sure you're probably correct. It's the "On Sale" thing that drives my wife to destruction.

Missed a great sale here. My brother called me last night while I driving home from work and told me he just picked up pork butts for .79. Did he get me any? NO. Thanks a lot and the sale is over. Go figure. >:(

The cheapest pork butt I see is .99/lb but normal sale price is around 1.09/lb. Thats usually around deer season, lots of sausage getting made then. :)

About 2 months ago, we went to deer lease to build a hog trap. My friends friend came along and he
turned out to be the perishable mgr at the groc store I shop at. They happen to have pork loins on sale
for $.99. They were cutting a whole loin up in to 1/3 and you could get two at that price. (ie 2/3 of a
whole loin) I ask him if I could get some more. He called me up and said I can bring you two cases.
Ok....how many in a case? He told me 6. Said bring them on. He showed up at my house w/ 12 pork loins
that weight 7 to 8 lbs each.Total was $92 and some change. I gave him a hun and said keep it for the gas.
I was a happy camper.

boy CGR, that was a good deal!
I thought that "hun" was a typo for "hug"...but now I get it.
It would have made sense if you gave him a hug and said keep it for the gas. :D :D :D
