October is National Pork Month, and it is a good time to bring fresh ideas to your family’s dinner rotation. From a roast dinner to pork-steak night, pork gives you several ways to plan meals around the cuts you enjoy. At Prime Meats, this month’s flyer includes offers worth adding to your shopping list.
Start with a whole bone-in pork loin
Our October 2026 special features whole bone-in pork loins at $1.99 per pound, cut to order. A whole loin is a larger purchase, so think about portions before you buy. Tell The Meat People whether you want to plan roast dinners, chops or a combination, and ask about the cutting options available for your loin.
The whole purchase price depends on its actual weight. Compare that total with your budget and your plan for using or freezing the portions. A low per-pound price works best when the amount you buy fits the meals you actually cook.
Add pork steak and Westerns to the rotation
The October flyer also features pork steak and Westerns at $2.99 per pound when buying 5 pounds or more. Plan the qualifying purchase around the people you cook for. Set aside what you will use promptly and portion the rest for later meals.
Ask your butcher about the specific cut and a suitable cooking method. The name of a cut, its thickness and your preferred preparation all matter. You might plan pork steaks with potatoes and vegetables, a roast dinner with seasonal sides, or a meal built around Westerns and your favorite sauce.
Consider a pork package
For shoppers who want variety, the October flyer lists the Pork Package at $109.99. It contains 5 pounds of pork chops, 5 pounds of pork steaks, 5 pounds of Western ribs, 2 slabs of spare ribs and 2 pounds of pork bacon. No substitutions on packages.
Compare the complete assortment with your household’s preferences. A package can simplify choosing several cuts, but the best fit is the one whose contents you will use. Check your freezer space before bringing home a larger order.
Plan portions and handle them safely
Keep fresh pork refrigerated at 40°F or below and freeze portions you will not use promptly. Wrap freezer portions securely and label them with the cut and date.
USDA recommends cooking whole pork steaks, chops and roasts to a minimum internal temperature of 145°F, followed by a three-minute rest. Ground pork should reach 160°F. Use a food thermometer rather than judging doneness by color. Read USDA’s food-safety basics.
