Just ordered 3 whole bellies this morning (~ 42 lbs…should be good for a while). Picking up Wednesday. Skin off @ $4.09/lb! Best deal I’ve come across in a while. I’ll post up my method, photos and recipe in this thread for those who are interested.

RafterW That is a good price, while at Costco last week, I saw it was $4.49/lb.

HerbcoFood most lockers around here are right around $6/lb! I found a wholesaler who has it at $3.99/lb skin on and $4.09 skinless. It took me most of Friday afternoon, calling around to local farms and lockers but was worth the time invested. I’ll have lots of packages for gifts this year and plenty to store back for our use. Usually I end up giving too much away and not keeping enough back…not this year!

RafterW I am the opposite, I don’t give enough away.

RafterW Sounds like a good price, I am on the lookout for some and costco has had the best price. I am going to try it for the first time.

HerbcoFood - I was at Costco this weekend, the bellies I saw were nearly all fat, hardly any meat on them. I Passed this time.

I actually have a catering for pork belly burnt ends coming up, so I called my distributor this morning to get pricing. $2.75/lb, so I ordered some extra to have some to use for makin’ bacon.

Bellies $3.45 lb. at US Foods/ Chiefs Choice here skin off. They looked pretty good as well, good meat to fat ratio.
-
Midwest_kc johnsbrewhouse you guys have got the hook ups!

lkrfletcher I didn’t look at them, I just checked out the price since pork belly is a huge topic on here.

RafterW How far are you from Oklahoma City, they have a US Foods/Chiefs store there. It looks like you are probably 100 miles away and might not be worth the trip for the price savings. I drive 18 miles to shop there.

OKC is about 3 hours johnsbrewhouse, I’m less than an hour from Wichita. Good to know for when I travel through though. Thank you.

Midwest_kc I would love to find them for that price. The last I saw they were 6.49 a lb. I just can’t do that.

cdavis ouch! Yeah, I wouldn’t be interested at that price either. My Costco had them for $3.99/lb not too long ago when I was pricing things out for that catering.

Midwest_kc I might could live with that.

Picked up the bellies bright and early this morning before work. Total weight was closer to 35 lbs. They were all right around 11.5 lbs. Good looking slabs though. I think I’m going to cure two of the three this week and hold one until spring or if I run out, whichever is first…Likely the latter!

RafterW sounds like a good plan. Good luck
