Heads up on "Boston Butts."

[bwsmith_2000]

Yo mates!!
I think Ingle's is a local southern grocery chain but I was in a local store in the Atlanta area yesterday and bought 12 boston butts at .88/lb. (That's all they had.) I'll call on a few other stores tomorrow. If you have a freezer, it can be a really good deal. Love that pulled pork!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are lucky enough to have a Resturant Depot near you they always have boston butts for .88 a lb and some times less too.

Jeez. Up here in Bellingham, WA (think Canadian border), I don't think I see less than 1.49lb and that's at Costco! Lucky

Dont you have to own a business to join the Restaurant Depot.

You can join with a KCBS membership as well.

Here in Central IL- Kroger has that same sale a few times every summer.

At 88 cents/lb. you can REALLY feed an army for very little...

If they are vacuum packed, how long will they keep in the freezer?

 

[fatback joe]

I have had some that I kind of lost in the shuffle in the past and had been in for over 6 months and were just fine.

oWhat is KCBS?

Here in Arizona I saw them today at our Basha's store for 88 cents a lb.

Is there any where else someone in the PA area can get Butt for a decent price? Never see any at Sams and have to order through a butcher, which is getting way too expensive.

Yup, There's a Restaurant Depot in Philly.
Join the KCBS online. Once you get your card, take it to RD and they will give you one of their cards.
$.88/lb butts and I grabbed a brisket the other day for $1.75/lb

 

[fatback joe]

And they sell prime grade too if you are interested in that sort of thing.

Just signed up thanks

You'll really like their meat selection. The walk in refrigerator (at least in our store) is the size of a small grocery store. Every cut of meat you can imagine.
