Heard an add on the radio for ground pork $2.99/lb. Need to pick up some variety or other as I've been having the hankering to make pork buns.

How are your prices? Fugg, Canadian RURAL price comparison : Pork tenderloin $14.99 a kilo ='s $6.81 per lb Pork Butts, or shoulders $9.90 a kilo =s $4.50 per lb Pork Loins $12.99 a kilo =s $5.90 per lb & to make matters worse, our $ has devalued 20% against the $US !

Not all that long ago. or $0.75/lb . . . also not that long ago. Pork butt season is upon us . . . gotta go get some!

I picked up a pork loin roast for $2.49 a pound yesterday at the little meat shoppe where I buy most of my meats. I've mostly stopped buying beef cuts since their prices have gone through the roof. I can "live" with pork, chicken and fish until the beef prices come back down (if they ever do). However, I did "relent" and buy 2 pounds of very lean (10% fat) ground chuck at a ridiculous $4.89 a pound for makin' beef burgers. There's nuthin' like a good hamburger with a thin slice of onion and lotsa mustard & ketchup on a BIG sesame seed bun to cure the "hungries"!  I "pattied" the individual 'burgers out between small sheets of waxed paper and stuck 'em in a Zip-Lok baggie and put 'em in the freezer for later use. ( YUM!!!)  Strength & Honor... Ron T.
It's smart to hang around old guys 'cause they know lotsa stuff...

Ron try ground pork burgers. I feel they're better tasting than beef burgers and at about half-2/3rd's the cost for 85/15 a bargain IMO!! Just don't serve them at rare temps!!

Actually, I suppose the cost of fuel is high as well huh? 2 hours north of International Falls, & we do go reasonably regularly, also 4 hours east of Winnipeg. We give Costco in Winnipeg a workout, every time we go ! Prices are roughly half there ! Bought whole pork loins there this weekend for $5.89 per kilo, or $2.68/lb.

Is there anything more tasteless than pork loin roast?

Don't know, we rarely ever roast the loins.
Favourite is cut 2 fingers thick, season with your favourites, sear in smoking hot cast iron pan, finish in 300* over for 4-5 minutes, rest for 5 minutes under tented foil & eat !
Current fav's = S&P, + either adobe chilli rub, French creole rub, or smoked paprika !

Pretty close to regular prices here. Got whole loins a few weeks ago at $1.79 on sale, haven't seen shoulders below $.99 in a year and a half.
Yours are better prices than I would expect for AK.

Was home in Jamestown NY last weekend, and went to Save a Lot...
Pork Loin, cut into chops was $.99/lb! Got me a 9lb pack and then proceeded to vacuum seal it up.
Also got "Country Style Ribs" for $1.79/lb at the same store.
I'd rather have a bad day hunting than a good day working!
