“Walmart’s meat selection is not great.”
The selection isn’t great, but we’ve been more than happy with the quality. We did learn that the Walmart where we used to shop got its meat from local farmers. I doubt if that’s true for most Walmarts, though. Lucked out.
Have had very BAD experiences with Kroger meats and poultry — should before use/sell by date.
You are right about the quality of Walmart meat. Acceptable. That’s why I stated selection. With Kroger, shop the specials and the meat will be fresh enough.
However, my wife scored the deal to end all deals with Fry’s/Kroger clearance. She caught 10 ounce filet mignons expiring that day for $1 apiece! Four were left. Four family members. I was unemployed at the time. She bought all four, and they were as good as anything this side of Ruth’s Chris that I have ever had. They hadn’t gone bad. What a deal! God is Good.
