It’s actually not all that difficult. And as another poster pointed out if you shop the “close to expiration” date meats you can get excellent deals........I like to hit my local supermarket on Tuesday mornings around 8:30, I then follow the meat manager around as he puts the discount stickers on. I can easily buy 2 weeks worth of a variety of meats and poultry for under $20.
Fer real. Day-old bread stores and discount food markets are standard fare. These morons in Congress are not in the real world...........
