Watch for wet cured ham sales at regular grocery stores. Especially
near big holidays like Christmas and Easter. In the last year I've
seen it as low as $1.69 per pound, bone in. When I got it home it was
water injected but after draining it was still a good deal.

Buy Virginia ham do you mean the dry cured country hams? When I visit
the older daughter and younger granddaughter in Arkansas I watch for
signs along the highway in Arkansas and Missouri advertizing low prices
on country hams. I can get a country ham here in Chicago metro for $7
per pound but I've seen at at roadside stores for half that.
