Best Stop cracklin is 21.99/lb

A pound is a lot of cracklins though

Almost 2500 calories worth. A pound of ribeye is only 1100ish

That's GOTTA be more than 2,500 calories, right?

If you've ever made, or witnessed cracklins being made, you understand the price quickly.

You don't like the price, fine, don't buy 'em. More for my fat arse!

that's the current market price baw

you're gonna pay $20+ / lb. for cracklin , boudin is selling at $6 / lb.

jerky is likely over $25 / lb. .... I make/dehydrate my own jerky and it comes out to around $8 / lb.

Chicken cracklins>>>>>>>>>>>pork cracklins

La Morenita sells chicharonnes - skin on pork belly strips fried up like cracklins - back at the meat counter. I don't know the current price but I'm certain they're well below $20/lb.

They are unseasoned. To remedy this chop them into pieces, heat them in the oven, and toss in whatever rub you like. Making your own is an enormous PITA, these are easy and fantastic.

I agree the parking lot is terrible, like driving through a landfill on the moon. I ignore that part. They have one of the best meat counters and produce sections in town.
