The Wednesday Morning Weekly — October 9, 2024

So I noticed we were low on pork butt the other day after examining the contents of the chest freezer. Pork butt is a great affordable solution to beef roasts for stews, as well as for ground pork. Pulled barbecue pork butt is absolutely delicious as well — we are into BBQ here at home and have a Weber Smokey Mountain barbecue pit. Additionally with the ground pork, we can make various sausages including hot Italian sausage as well as chorizo.

We usually buy our pork butt in bulk at Sam’s Club because they usually have decent prices. However lately I notice they are quite a bit expensive at $2.28/lb:

Update 10/9/2024. They sent me a VGC via Tremendous for $20. I used it to prepay my natural gas bill, which does not charge me a processing fee to use a card to pay the bill.

Mercury sent me an email today offering me $20 to fill out a survey as to why I moved my money out of Mercury Business accounts. I obliged and filled it out. Took about 10 minutes (about 30 questions perhaps) — figured why not.

Update 10/1/2024. So I also got my “free” whopper from Burger King today for Q4. I put “free” in quotes since it’s only free if you purchase something else. So what I did was add cheese, which cost me 70 cents. Whopper with cheese. Total was 76 cents with tax and charged it on my Amex Business Gold for 4x cashback.

Normally I don’t really write about deals but I have to since the Burger King Whopper is like one of my most favorite burgers of all time — love the flame broiled taste!

As you might already know, Walmart+ lets you get a free Whopper every calendar quarter from Burger King. Today is the last day of this quarter. If you haven’t already, perhaps grab one today and then tomorrow as well if you like! If you have multiple WM+ credits / accounts I guess you could get a few free ones today — share or put in the fridge, etc. 😺
