This^^^^ I bought boston butts at the Sams in Fargo for 1.17 lb if you bought whole cases. The bone weighs about a pound so I figure it cost me about 1.23 or so a lb for the actual pork meat and fat.

^^^^yup. Sam's Club is dirt cheap if you buy a case of pork butts.

I think Butcher Blocks butts were 1.59 or 1.69 good quality. I usually get them from cloverdale outlet store but you have to buy a case which is 75lbs or so. West Dakota has boned out shoulders I have used which have always been good. Dans is a good place to buy meat as they have a satisfaction guarantee. I have got bad butts from Central Market and Sams which both had boar taint. If you have ever smelled boar meat you will loose your cookies.

Sams for us too.

Hey did you sum bitches know that they also sell the Wishek Sausage spice mix at the Supervalu? Just found that out after all these years.

You can also buy your pork butts pre-ground at butcher block too I guess. However you want it ground. A guy should compare the price of ground vs whole butt....for a few bucks it would be worth the time savings.

Nope. Didn't know that. Thanks!!!

we used to get pork fat off the sysco truck for little or nothing...

Meats by John and Wayne sell pork by the case at a reasonable price.

I would try to find pork without anything injected- brines, etc... and would be willing to pay a little more for quality. Also, and I cannot help it, I did not know that boars had taints. Carry on.

I'm not in the BisMan area but I do know that I prefer to spend a little more for good meaty butts. Some pork fat is good, too much does not make for good sausage. Trimming off the outside is easy, trimming the marbling is not.

Haha. It is a slang term that is used by butchers in reference to tainted meat of a boar. Boar meat is basically inedible. There are very few slaughter plants that will take a boar but some still slip through most are made into animal food.

This statement has WAY too many possibilities and brought back some fond memories of my younger years. Thanks!!!

Not sure on pork trimmings, but last I checked theres a pretty healthy supply of pork butts at Bucks bar downtown...

I just got back from picking up a case of pork butts from Sams. Current price is $1.18/lb here in Grand Forks.

Their case price is usually much lower (like a $1/lb) than if you buy an individual one. The left over ones freeze great for later use in the smoker.

Do you know if they ship the spices, have never had the sausage but have heard plenty of good reviews would like to make a batch and give it a try.

We started buying pork loins a few years ago. if you can catch them on sale it is a huge time saver and the cost isn't that much higher when you look at the pork butt waste. usually buy 1 Butt for the fat because the loins tend to be a little lean.
