My wife actually complained that I was getting TOO MUCH steak but, hey, when they are so cheap via coupons, why not?

so... they’re making meat real cheap?

so that’s how they’re going to move all the beef coming from those CA farms (madcow alert)

Also consider buying straight from the source if it’s at all possible in your area.

For several years we’ve bought an entire cow and split the meat and costs with others according to our needs. Works out to about $2.50/lb. for black Angus, we get ground beef and nice variety of cuts and we know exactly where it came from. All we have to do is pick it up from the processor.

Was the coupon because the meat had already reached its “sell by date” ?

I worked in a butcher shop for a couple of years after high school. When we put coupon stickers on meat it was because it was going out of date that day.

I refuse to shop at Target, knowing that some portion of my spending there - however small - goes to causes I loathe.

Thanks. Does Publix do this? I’ve never seen meat marked down there like this.

My tip: Winn-Dixie has this savings option that allows you to buy discounted fuel at Shell stations. Some products you buy give you $.05 off a gallon or more, or you spend $50 and get $.05 off a gallon (for each $50).

Anyhow, the real deal part of this is that WD seems to frequently give $1.00 off per gallon for filling a prescription there. This is either for a new prescription or a transfer.

Now a dollar off of a gallon of gas is definitely worth it especially for something I absolutely have to buy anyhow. But the best part? Walgreens was offering a $25 gift card for transferring a prescription to them.

Sooooooooo ... :-)

Thanks, PJ-Comix.

The grocery stores in our area all have what I call “the cheap meat section”. Sometimes there’ll be a coupon attached to the meat, pork, chicken or a reduced price label. We have a foodsaver so I repackage as soon as I get home.

Like you said, you have to get to the store early to take advantage of the best deals especially in the winter when the snow birds are here!
