Then you sure don't know much. Here in NC, where there are more pigs
than people (you would be right at home you ugly old man) all cuts regularly
cost at least $2.50 a pound, with average cuts costing $3.79 and better cuts
costing
$5- $8 a pound.

I can get pork loins and chops for $1.99 to $2.50 if I watch for sales, but
not every
week.
