WTH!!! have yall seen the price of butts?

$30 freaking bucks for a bone in pork butt. $30 really!!!?

Another place had the twin packs of pork butts, $60 plus.

No freaking way, sorry not this guy.

Thankfully I had thawed out my last brisket flat this week, so its on the egg now.

$30 and up for butts, folks done lost their minds.

 

I'm right there with ya Rich.
Durning the "beef shortage" I was still able to get a prime brisket at Costco for $3/lb, now it was over 5. No way Jose. Their tri tip was also 9.50/lb. You freaking nuts?!?!?! Hard pass.

 

Time to become a Vegan?

 

Or indulge in the fake meat craze?

 

I did a double take after I posted it, LOL.

 

No just no.

 

Its insane is what it is.

 

I just paid $34 at Costco for there twin pack. 16lbs. Had to cook them for a party or else I would’ve passed.

 

I’d rather be broke.

 

I just got two from a local butcher shop for the 4th. They are always more then a typical grocery store/Costco. I paid $5/pound. Not your everyday pulled pork, but every once in a while I’ll splurge….or support a local business…which ever makes the price sit better.

 

Nooooo! My sister in law brought some beyond burgers and it stained my cast iron wtf!!!!

 

I just picked up 9 baby back slabs at Costco last year I paid about $26 to 28 for a pack of 3 now they’re $56 to 58 for a pack of 3 and not that meaty prices are crazy high now

 

They must be made out of wood.

 

I see what you did there.... LOL

 

My favorite steak (on a quality vs price comparison) has increased from $5.49 to $8.99 at Costco. Forget that. Anymore as far as beef goes, we eat maybe 2 pounds of hamburger a week. Mostly chicken now and pork chops when my wife finds a price she likes. Eating a lot more eggs, beans, etc. Silver lining of high beef prices is a healthier diet.

 

Speaking of wood... I like the B&B briquets for the WSM, they're consistent, last a good while, and if I overfill the smoker they're pretty good on the 2nd burn in the kettle grill too. I'm having a hell of a time finding the 16lb bags. Places have the 9 lb bags (still very low supply), but typically the 16's cost the same as the 9's at most places, maybe a dollar more.

My tinfoil hat says it's all a conspiracy to force everyone to eat vegan. I'll stop there before I get banned.

 

Lucked out and loaded up on 4 BIB’s at 1.29/lb. Wanted some baby backs but they were 6.99/lb. No thanks. I love B&B Lump charcoal. I can get it 16.99 for 20lbs at my local Ace. Burns long and holds temps really well in my egg.

 

Not much difference between a Beyond Burger and a cow pie when you think about it.

 

This is what I started today; will be done at 4pm tomorrow!!!!

 

Don't forget the pig farmers now have to pay fifty fkn grand for a 2018 pickup with 60k on the clock. Probably going to get even worse in the next few months too.

 

Cow pie prob taste better!!
