Ideally, if you can raise your own livestock our buy fresh from a farmer...that's the best way to go!
For the rest of the world that has to shop retail, all you have to do is call your local grocery store and ask when the meats typically get marked down. Some do it later in the evening, some stores first thing in the morning. You can get deep discounts on seafood this way too.
A friend of mine said she looks for the packages that are close to expiration date, and asks the butcher if they would consider adjusting the price...and they always do!
I hope you enjoyed this Treat by Tanya, and please share how you save $$$ shopping for groceries!
Taking Cindi's tip...here is a picture I took today while at Wal-Mart. We got to two boxes and saved 40% off the regular price. So Sunday morning my boys will have a sweet treat and we saved a couple bucks =)
A reader messaged me with more great tips!:
ReplyDelete"Same with produce, bread & bakery. If you watch for marked down ones such as bananas, you can make Banana Bread with them. Bread, rolls or pastries can usually be frozen also." - Cindi W.
Thank you Cindi for the great tips!
