    I just bought a shoulder of pork form fx buckly in nutgrove there. payed 25 euro for 3kg, have I over payed? Looking online some places have 3kg for 12 euro.

    I was a little surprised by the price but wanted it to make pulled pork sambos.

    2.4kg bone in for 6 euro. If the 3kg piece is boneless not so bad.

    Have you seen the lovindublin thread? Should I have said ra*ed? Would that be better?

    Really depends where you buy. The butcher beside Tesco in Ballybrack, Dublin has 1.8kg bone-in pieces for €6. I was stung before for a 2.7kg piece for €24.

    My parent's butcher got wind of my 'fondness' for pork shoulders and said nobody wanted them. I was given a massive 4.1kg piece for €20. Managed to use this for a batch of pulled pork (10-12 days worth of sandwiches), a batch of chilli (with other meat, about 8 large portions) and a huge portion of ribs. Kinda grew sick of pork after that. First world problems, eh

    did you not check fxb themselves, its 10.99 for 2kg minimum

    might have been a mistake, but you could tell them this if you are going back.

    Sounds a tad bit high, last time I got one, was about 17e in BUckleys with a bit less weight. Thing is though, the quality of their meat is a lot higher than a supermarket or some other butchers- especially their beef.
