An excellent tip for budget minded folks. Especially for higher priced beef cuts! I've scored many a great meal on the grill from keeping an eye peeled. Unfortunately..., it depends upon whether the meat dept employees really do their jobs! Some stores just wind up dumping their expired meat in the dumpster since their employees didn't control their stock!
Fancy restaurants sell dry “aged beef” at a big markup!
Most of the meat departments I’ve been to will mark down the “use by today” meat if you ask them.
