Pork loin cost

[Angie]

A local grocery store, famous for the great meat it has, has whole, boneless pork loins (cut and wrapped for free) for $1.79 a pound.

Pork is a "new" meat for me since hubby never liked it until now. Is that a good price???

Miss Angie...

That is a fairly common "advertised" price for a whole boneless loin in my area. I don't recall seeing it any cheaper. So I would say it is a pretty good price.

 

[Dave Hutchins]

Buy it In my area it is way over $2.50 a pound

 

[Angie]

Thanks guys!

That's a very good price for our area as well. I buy them cryovac packed and cut them into chops and roasts.

 

[Angie]

Yummm...cut them into chops is a great idea! I'm really "pork" uneducated. Hubby likes bacon but not much else that comes from the pig!

 

[Katie H]

Wow, Angie. That's a great price. I'd cut it into a few chops, a small roast and then cut the "frags" into chunks for stir-fry. You can get a lot out of a great big loin...and at that price, you can eat like royalty.

When it's marked down like that I by 3 or 4 and pop them in the freezer. It's one of the finest cuts of meat you can buy.

I have a few different ways of cooking loin that I never get tired of.

Yep,I would go for it just be sure to not over cook it. medium at the most a little bit of pink in the meat is what you want.

That price would be fairly cheap here in west Chiacgo. Even at Sam's Club it ranges from $2.00 and up per pound. At the grocery chains it can be rediculaous. I saw boneless chicken for $5.00 a pound not long ago.

$1.69-$1.99 pound is my buy range on pork, and I'm cheap to a fault!

A simple pork roast recipe I like to fall back on is to just rub the whole surface liberally with minced garlic, marjoram, and a bit of salt and pepper, then roast uncovered until internal temp hits 165F.

I'd buy it too, we eat it a lot - chicken fried, grilled, roast and cubed for pork chop suey, it is the other white meat, very lean - Pork rules !

Well, you don't want it TOO lean... A bit of marbling makes all the difference in the world.

Since we're on the topic of cost, could some one tell me how much Pork would cost per pound if you just wanted some for a stew? Basically the pork equivilant to Beef Select... Please! ^~^

Welcome to DC Solomon!! Make yourself at home.

For pork stew look for Pork (Boston) butts. Sometimes they are advertised at 99 cents per pound. Anything from around $1.49 and down would be good also.

Have Fun!!!

Thank you for the welcome and thank you for the answer! ^~^
