Where do you buy your butts?

I get boneless from Costco and have no issues with them. 

GFS or Costco

Both have Bone in 

I usually pick up a couple at Wegman's when I'm visiting Mom. $1.49/lb vs twice that here (usually). Don't recall ever buying boneless. I really need to check out RD.

I get mine at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Krogers etc...  In NC someone always has butts $.99 to $1.29 per lb.  Now beef prices is another story....

Same here...  We have some mom and pops that I buy from too.  

I get them at Sam's, Restaurant Depot, many local butchers and local grocery stores.  At RD you can get them either bone in or boneless.  If doing pulled pork I like bone in.  If doing pork burnt ends I like boneless. 

Usually by my butts from BJ'S wholesale club. They range from 1.00-1.49 per pound.  

I usually get my ribs and pork butts at GFS. The butts come two to a pack, bone-in and usually weigh about 19#. Price where I live anywhere from $1.19 / 1.49 a pound. I buy their spare ribs and trim them St. Louis style and use the trimmings in beans. 

They don't have them at any of my Costco's. No RD, no Sams.

Luckily I just order them through work. currently $1.79/lb.

I buy my bellies and briskets through work as well as all my other meats. Saves me a ton of cash from buying retail.

.99/lb often gets my attention...picked up 4 at Winn Dixie last week during their Labor Day sale...but I'm not locked in to any one place

I was looking for Winn Dixie to do a .99/lb over the holiday weekend, they only did a 2 pack for $1.29/lb which is the cheapest I've seen here in the while, still waiting on .99/lb...

I buy them wherever I see them when their 1.29 lb or less.  Never noticed a difference between the place or brand.

Anyone tried a berkshire butt?  I'm able to get them here for 2.29lb but haven't tried them yet.

Never heard of that, maybe had he money muscle like they talk about on BBQ Pitmasters?

well - the 9 butts that I have been egging all this week with #8 on right now for an over nighter followed by #9 tomorrow all came on sale at $.89 last week from a grocery chain out of St Louis. I have kept a record of the trimming loss and I know why they were $.89 as the fat caps have all been horribly thick and the "marbling" tells me most of these pigs must have lived a stress free was what they wanted to life!

Kroger when they go on sale for $.99/lb

I've had good luck with GFS and Meijer.
