No, pork butts on sale are not inherently fatter or lower quality than regular-priced ones.

Pork butts (also called Boston butts) on sale are the exact same standard cuts of meat supplied by distributors. Grocery stores routinely put them on sale as loss leaders—items priced below profit margins—to draw shoppers into the store for holidays like the Fourth of July or Memorial Day.Why Pork Butt Fat VariesStandardized Farming: Commercial pork is heavily standardized, meaning fat percentages and marbling across standard grocery store pork butts remain very consistent regardless of the price tag.Natural Variations: Individual pigs naturally vary slightly in size, fat cap thickness, and internal marbling. You might occasionally pick up a cut with a thicker outer layer of fat, but this happens at full price just as often as it does on sale.The Render Factor: Pork butt is naturally a high-fat cut (often around 25% fat or more), which is why it stays juicy during long cooking times. Much of that exterior and internal fat renders out during a low-and-slow smoke or braise anyway.

Cook your pork butt with the fat side facing the strongest heat source, which usually means fat side down for most backyard smokers where heat rises from below.

I personally take their underwear off before doing that. African cultures don't for example.
