I just bought 2 pork bellies and they cost me $5.00 per pound..........and I think I got ripped. What do you pay in your area????
Gary at 99 cents a lb. Pork butts look like the best way to go. Going to give the BBB a shot soon.
I called everywhere around Tyler, I found 2 places, the one here in Tyler has to order them in and are over Five Bucks a pound, The other place in Longview usually keeps them in stock but are five bucks a pound. I asked the butcher at our local grocery store, he said they use to get in a few but were such slow sellers they quit carrying them. Hard to $5.00 a lb when you can get thick sliced bacon for $9.00 for 3 lbs.
I like my bacon better so if I could get bellies for around $3.00 a LB. I would by curing all the time.

Same here, the Boss and I like BBB as well.Last I checked, bellies were upwards of $6/lb here ! :icon_eek: No thanks, at that price I'll do BBB... Fam likes BBB a lot anyway !
