Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Pork shoulder

I went to the store yesterday to get a couple pork shoulders. I usually get bone in, so I can see the meat pull back, and is ready to pull.
Anyway I was surprised the price was double.
Sirloin beef steaks were 8, now 12.

Same thing here. Prices have gone up pretty drastically.

2.94 now, I think it was 1.39 or so. Anyway my impression is it doubled.
Last week at Sams, worker said there was a limit on chicken because people were buying it to freeze. So I think everyone sees the inflation

How much of these price increases are going to the ones who raise the animals? My guess is not much! I will be doing a much better job at filling deer tags this fall, I was never that greedy in the past, this year is different!

My sausages will have a bit more venison this year.

still have quite a bit deer from last year , just sent a 320 sow to processor and FINALLY got a date for 850 lb steer. they can choke on thier over priced meat

Beef is fuggin' ridiculous right now.

Meat sales rotate about every week. Couple weeks ago I got pork loin for 99cents, bought 4, cut 1 into pork chops and repackaged into individual dinners. Last week for the 4th of july weekend babyback ribs, extra meaty ones were 1.77 instead of 4.99, I bought 10. Thanksgiving I buy turkeys, Christmas I buy whole rib or NY roasts for under 4 bucks lb, cut and wrap steaks for all year. When skinless/boneless chicken breast goes on sale for .99 I load up. Couple weeks ago london broil and round roasts were on sale for 1.97, happens at least every couple months, it's usually tough but good for fajitas, machaca and lots of jerky. Last week got burger for 1.99.

Everything isn't on sale every week, just have to watch. Memorial day, Labor day and the 4th load up on BBQ meats, Thanksgiving and Christmas meats and canned goods, baking supplies.

Just have to have space to keep it.

Get this now, Publix has some ribeyes for $18.99/lb.

Yeah, Nah. Ain't happening.

The week after a big sale holiday is usually not the time to buy... this week the london broil/round roasts are 2.97, hamburger 2.97 for 93%, center cut pork chops 2.49 and chicken thighs, legs, split breast for .97... nothing really great.

four freezers/refrig in house. wife who watches sales like a hawk.
last couple weeks was the chicken breasts and london broil, which i happen to like in a variety of ways.
which come to think of it, grandson smoked about 40pounds of pork shoulder. helps his brother is a meat mgr for frys.

When I was a little boy in the 1950s, my father explained how the meat market was a great example of supply and demand.
Steak and hamburger are priced differently just right to be sold at the same rate.

Bone in pork shoulders were $1.49 per pound at Winn Dixie last weekend. Slabs of St. Louis ribs were roughly $30 each but a weekend BOGO helped.

Look up some hidden videos regarding what happens at American slaughterhouses and you will no longer have to worry about prices of supermarket meat.

They must be near where the videos are of your mom running a train with all those fellas.

I am just trying to help them out. Eating all that meat is very unhealthy.

I bought a case last week for $1.99/lb, checked yesterday and the best they could do by the case was $2.49.

Big deal, our ancestors of even just 100 years ago would be ashamed of how pussified we have become... can't be exposed to the reality how meat is processed.

The cheapest brisket I saw yesterday was one around 11-12 lb, almost 60 bucks.

Prices are going up on beef here pork seems semi stable.
