Title: Pork butt at Fry's
Post by: skou on September 23, 2009, 09:08:44 pm
I don't know what section to post this, but the Fry's at Alma School and Main has (well, had, since I just left) fresh pork shoulder picnic, at $0.88/LB!  Yep 88 cents a pound.  There was a sign up, and the new sale started today, so I'm not sure.  (Could have been left over from last weeks ad, but I doubt it.)    Sales ad has Boston Pork Butt at $1.39.

I saw them earlier, when I was there, but I hadn't read the ad then.  (I assumed that they were on the ad, so I didn't get them.)  When I saw that they were NOT on the ad, I went back and got the last 2 that were out.  I'm going back in the morning, just to see what they have.

If this needs to be moved, will someone please do it?

My only problem with the ones at our frys is that they are enhanced.  but the price is good.

It seems most of the picnic shoulders with the sale prices really low have a pretty thick fat cap on them. By the time you trim the cap, you're at $1.50+ a pound. It still seems like the best buys are the butts at Sams or Costco. If you have a use for the trimmings, it's a great buy. Hell, I spent $.99 a pound for trimmings today.

One of the cashiers does.

I'd rather have enhanced butt, though ??? :D

Did'ja read the first post?  I can't remember which checkstand, because I prefer enhanced "butt."

There is a VERY attractive clerk there, with an "island" accent, though.  Somewhere in the carribean.

A few years ago at the Fry's near me, they had a "Manager's Special" on pork shoulders for .39/lb. ??? I bought everyone they had, filling up a couple of shopping carts. My wife thought I had gone insane, but my Kamados and Foodsaver got quite a workout that day!  ;D

All of their pork lately is the enhanced stuff.  Not good eats for BBQ IMHO.

I try not to get those "enhanced butts" but they are ok for a weekend cook...  There are some good deals on meat at most markets!!! Time to stock up...

So, who has "enhanced butts and breast"? I prefer one stop shopping.

You can find those at most of your Scottsdale markets... The Safeway at DC Ranch isn't so bad  :angel:

I guess I'll have to move back to Scottsdale. Gilbert is pretty generic.

Well, to update, i just got back from there, and they were out.  The butcher said he was expecting more tomorrow.  No,they aren't in the ad, but the store was leaving them on sale until next Tuesday.  (I should have gotten a raincheck, because rainchecks take up less room in my freezer.)
