Cost per Pound Guide For Buying Pork
Cost per pound is not a true guide to the best pork buy because some cuts have more
bone and fat loss than others. A better way to compare meat values is on a cost-per-serving
basis A serving is 2-Vz to 3-Vz ounces of cooked boneless meat.

Chops (center or rib) 4.
Spareribs 1-1/3

EXAMPLE: Using the chart, assume that center cut chops are selling at $1.49 per pound,
sparenbs at $.59 per pound; and blade steaks at $1.19 per pound. Which is the more
economical buy? Reading the table under price per pound, the column shows center cut
chops 37 cents per serving; sparenbs 45 cents per serving; and blade steaks 40 cents per
serving. Price per pound is not a true guide to the best buy.
