Fargon is that cooked hock though?
And are you going on American sized hock?
Apologies if you've taken that into account and I'm asking stupid questions.

Fargon & Glatt, I do appreciate the suggestions, but if I cook beans I will be the only person to eat them.
Baked beans in this country mean something very different. They come in tins in tomato sauce and are never home-cooked (not in the same way as the tinned variety I mean.)

Now I love home-made beans, and I like the suggestions.
This could make a fair few low cost meals for me.
But if there is anything else I can do which might make a meal for my family I'll try that first.
I might ask the meat counter if they sell hocks raw. I've found plenty of recipes for that.
Am also tempted by the pig's cheeks I know they sell - low priced cut of meat, rich flavour, versatile.

Roll on October when I get my 15% discount card.
It applies on top of any promotions or reductions... As I'm happy to cook from scratch (or nearly) I can take advantage of many of our less popular/ short-life counter foods.
Although I will always try to promote them to customers as I will be part of the profit scheme. Less discounting and as little food wastage as possible increases everyone's bonus.

(won't stop me being a canny shopper though)
