    Dong Hing (south side of Jackson between 11th & 12th, 1 block east of Van's Groceries, which is your budget produce option) is the cheapest I've found. I've been out of the country for a couple months, but as I recall pork is generally under $2/lb (cheap cuts under a dollar), flank steak between $2 and $3/lb, oxtails @ $2.39/lb. They also have a good seafood selection and hard to find shit (like "beef pizzle", which, yes, is cock). Chicken and duck are dirt cheap. I've seen the county hygiene people there doing their routine inspections a couple of times, and things seem in order.

    That said, only slightly more expensive but with better quality, my favorite spot is Lam's. East about half a block from 12th on the south side of King, off the parking lot behind the decaying yellow house. I don't recall if the butcher is onsite, but shit's fresh. I paid 2.99/lb for the biggest, fattiest oxtails I've ever had there. Sear them and braise them with wine and stock for a couple hours. My god. Anyway.

    And if you want decent chorizo for cheap, the carniceria on 14th & Jackson is the best place I've found.

    The International District.

    On 12th and Jackson are a couple of big groceries staring each other down. They each have large meat departments and the prices are eerily cheap. Gives me the creeps quite frankly. But if cheap meat is what you want, cheap meat is what you'll find there.

    I'm betting somewhere in White Center.
