The price of meat at Walmart’s near us are TERRIBLE compared to every other grocery store. And its not even close.

Everything else is cheaper...but their meat section sucks.

Meat has always been one thing my wife did not buy at Walmart.

Agreed. I was shocked when I looked at their prices for beef! We grow out a beef steer every 18 months for our beef. We’re buying a whole hog from a neighbor in a few weeks. The only meat I need to buy is some chicken for variety time to time. And they want $11 for a whole chicken these days - cheaper to buy the $8 deli chicken at The Pig! We have plenty of wild game, too.

Pretty sure we’ll be adding meat birds along with our laying hens in the near future if prices stay high.

I’ve always been good with a grocery budget - it’s really the only place where you actually have some wiggle room.

Grow your own if you can, raise your own if you can. Shop the sales (Loss Leaders) and plan meals around what’s on sale. Learn to can and preserve. Glean. Use the Food Pantry if you need to - most don’t have income restrictions. This is America. There are PLENTY of ways to get yourself fed. :)

Agree...I buy ALL my meat at ALDI. Wagu ground beef on sale this week - $4.99/lb.....I made goulash yesterday. Last week, I made meatloaf burgers to fit the bread I get...and froze 8 burgers for sandwiches...add mayo and tomato. Life is good.

And who know where it comes from?

I've discovered that each grocery store has its own prices for various items, so I'll go to one of four grocery stores for different things: chicken at one, hamburger at another, various juices at another, other miscellaneous items at one or the other. Which store I go to depends on what I'm after. It's a pain, but that's the world we live in now.
