In the Midwest where pork is cheap to begin with (and people seem to have an insatiable appetite for it) you'll often see pork chops and loin sold as a loss-leader to get people into the store. For example, last week my local grocer had chops on sale for <$1/chop (works out to $3/lb) when the actual cost is closer to $7-8/lb.
