Hey, discounted meat on it’s last day of sale is about the only way my family can stay as meat-eaters these days. $6 a pound hamburger, cheaper if you accept a certain percentage of pink slime? Why the heck didn’t we hear that in campaign ads? If I plan to cook it that day, the discount leaves more money for the FReepathon.
Get a deep freezer and a vacuum sealer. I buy in massive bulk repackage and deep freeze. When it is vacuum sealed the meats will last 3+ years with no freezer burn.
I had a very nice sirloin tip roast today that I bought and froze in January of 2013. It defrosted perfectly over-night and was tender and delicious.
GFS sells 40#’s of boneless skinless chicken breasts @ $1.49 ($1.99# for 10 #’s) I vacuum pack and freeze them six at a a time and they last a long time. I just found some chicken quarters, (legs & thighs) $.59 a pound. They are great on the grill.
Look into a vacuum sealer and deep freezer. They pay for themselves quite quickly. You just need to keep an eye open and don’t forget to rotate the stock!
