smoking cost of meat

for those of you who buy meat to smoke a lot what would you consider a good price is? Say for brisket, pork butt and ribs? I'm just wondering so I know if what I'm looking at is a good price or to go elsewhere.
 
In CT about $1-1.50lb on Butts, Spares about 15$ decent size and about the same for B-backs, Brisket almost $3lb -- I go to Bj's or Costco -- I think Sams Club has them as well - in the Cryovac packs - You can get 2 butts about 7.5lbs each for about 15$ some place take the blade bone out so you know. Briskets have been hard to find
 
the main reason i'm asking is there is a place near me with a special through today for pork butts at $0.89 / lb and i thought that seemed like a pretty good price. i may have to make a side trip on the way home.
 
Baby back ribs are typically around $9 a rack, but have bought them at Sam's Club for something like 3 rack for $21. Brisket depends alot if trimed or untrimmed( I prefer the untrimmed) as low as $0.39 lb and as much as $1.89 Lb.
 
i made the trip ended up getting :

pork butt roast @ $0.79 / lb
chicken wings @ $0.99 / lb

got about 5 lbs of each. total of about $9

Now, back to the subject of meat. Depending on where you live, Filet Minong (sp) can be anywhere from $8 a pound to $24.
