Sales last a week in local stores here

I’ll get little something every day. Mix up the lot numbers.

I do get a tough pork shoulder 1/10 sometimes. You know it’s gonna be a bad one when the bone wont give after 10 hours.
Chunk that one up and into the crock pot, dress it up for the inlaws 😃
They gnaw on anything and love it.
