Pork Belly Prices...
-
I was at a local Long Island NY Costco today. Pork bellies were $3.99 a lb. I much as I wanted to to pick up one I was buying a 19lb. Prime packer brisket at $4.99 a lb.Currently I have 1/2 a pork belly defrosting to make pork belly burnt ends this Sunday, stay tuned.

Man, I have a Sams club memebership. I guess I should consider a Costco one
-
Dr_Pain You should, plus the cash back is also nice.
-
Dr_Pain I have both. I like Sams better for most items we buy, but I picked up a COSTCO membership last year at a half price special. For us, if I had to chose I’d stay with Sams, but both are nice. I have the Plus with Sams and get cash back there. I only have the basic a Costco because they are a lot further away.

Dr_Pain thats all I use now. I even started it pre-covid, but liked it even more now that I can skip the lines.

My local Sam’s is about as clean as a dirty Wal-Mart, it’s also a pain in the butt to get to.

HerbcoFood that would turn me away. Sounds like a management issue.

GWG8541 For sure, haven’t been back in 5 years actually, my Costco is much easier to get to, they have the few things we buy in bulk.

My local grocery has Duroc half bellies for $4.99/lb. At that sort of pricing I just stick to Wright Brand bacon from Sam’s Club which is WAY better than the Costco bacon.

The one and only Sams Club on Long Island while close to me is also not very good. Costco and BJ’s are all over the place here. We have 3 Costcos within 10 miles of each other and the same with BJ’s. I’m a member of Costco & BJ’s. While both are very similar there are enough differences to warrant both memberships.

HerbcoFood we have 3 Sam’s closer than our one Costco in our region.

HerbcoFood “as clean as a dirty Walmart” LOL!!!
Dr_Pain Yep, right up there with, “the only thing she is on time with is being late.”

GWG8541 We don’t have Sam’s Club around here anymore, they closed them all several years ago. This is Costco’s home base. The nearest Sam’s is in California over 1000 miles away

We got three Sam’s and two Costcos. All are really clean and well stocked. May be the only advantage to living in a bigger city

samspade I’m only 60 miles from Seattle, we have lots of Costco’s since the headquarters are based in Issaquah which is 60 miles away. Of course the Costco’s are all about the same drive away between 24 and 30 miles and within that range there are at least five. Sam’s pulled out of the entire state maybe five years ago for reasons unknown.

johnsbrewhouse I’d imagine it was because they weren’t doing well in the lion’s backyard…

HerbcoFood they were always packed, but the property locations were pricey. One was located at a Super Mall that pretty much went out the door when the Sam’s left.
