If you’re like me, you love food with big, bold flavor – and few dishes deliver like slow-cooked pulled pork. Not only do pork shoulders provide a bounty of tender and delicious meat, but they are incredibly versatile and affordable.
You can typically find pork shoulder on sale for about $0.99 a pound at your local grocery store.

That’s a lot of eating for such a minimal price.
