LMAO Meijer's meat stinks (the only time I have ever seen bacon bleed while cooking it *shudder*) and they treat their help like crap. I know people that left there to go work for WalMart and they like WalMart better. I haven't seen a Kroger in years and have never heard of Farmer Jacks. We used to have a lot of D & W's but being overpriced they are starting to get bought out by Family Fare's.

Any pre-packeged meat is injected with nitrogen for preservation. That is why it has 'frozen and rewarmed flavor'.
Buy Fresh off the cow/pig/fowl.
