    Is this along with the 2 pounds of pork for $6 you claim you can buy that doesn’t actually track with real pork prices?

    Edit: Also, “oh boy! Vanilla ice cream! My favorite flavor!” – no one

        I see, so at one specific smaller grocery store chain, if you are on food stamps, pork tenderloin costs more than you said it did.

          LMAO Wegmans known for how inexpensive they are. You can go buy an entire pasture raised pig and have it butchered to your preference and vacuum sealed for $800 , get the good cuts too and have it feed your family the entire year.

          What rates are you referring to?

            Assuming the average person has the storage capacity for an entire pig is either wildly ignorant or deliberate trolling

              I never said they do. In fact I said just that an hour ago in this thread. And a butchered pig will fit in a large chest freezer. It’s not that inaccessible at all outside of city apartment living. It’s a viable option for many.

            Cook. I’ll just drive to the nearest Wegmans.

            Thanks for the money-saving tip. Which cooler brand is best for 2 pounds of pork?

              So what, your probably Dayton, Cincinnati area? You a Krogers person? They are quite popular there and I found some links for similar pricing 2.69/lb. Found some pork loin out in Indy as well. Do I need to go as far as at Louis to cover my bases?

              I’ll ask again, what rates were you specifying for pricing?
