When I stroll by the meat and fish cases the clerk will ask if he can help me. I tell him no, just window shopping. I buy chicken breasts when they are on sale and sometimes inexpensive pork cutlets. Ground beef is even way too expensive.
Oranges in Florida are eight bucks a bag—and not a large bag either.
Chicken quarters can be purchased for 59 to 79 cents per lb. I use the thighs as a substiute for beef in soups and casseroles. A whole chicken or turkey costs 99 centts per lb.
I have bought chicken, beef, and pork on sale and canned it in a pressure cooker. I also eat more beans, cornbread and rice with just a bit of meat for flavor.
