A little over a week ago I just happened to be in Kroger and I made my usual detour through the meat department just in case. Sure enough, butts were marked down to $0.99 out of nowhere, so I grabbed two of them for the freezer. I thought it was something that would last for a day or two and then they would be back to way overpriced. But over the past week or so I keep seeing employees filling up that cooler by the case at the same low price, and I just keep buying them. Anybody else seeing this? That ~ 15 ft3 chest freezer I bought a couple of months ago might eventually pay for itself at this rate.

Haha. I went twice to get 49 cent per pound turkeys at Kroger, but I had to buy $25 in additional groceries to get that price. I've not looked for butts, but will make a trip that way tonight.

I’m smoking a couple of butts (in addition to the traditional turkey) for Thanksgiving. I’ve never injected butts but would like to try it. Anyone have any pork butt injection recipes?
Good price on the butts. There is also some great prices on turkeys in this area as well. We bought an extra one and put it in the freezer. Turkey is good anytime.

@Mr Bones yeah, so the wife informed me! She has pretty much switched to ordering it all online- saves lines and a lot of time. And disappointment... 🙄
