I don’t know about you, but I find that adding meat to my stockpile at a great price can sometimes be a challenge when you are on a budget of $40 per week!
I do utilize Sam’s Club on a monthly basis, but usually strictly for meat purchases. I have found that in my area, Sam’s Club tends to offer the best meat prices. I love the big bags of frozen chicken breasts that you can purchase there as well as the big packages of Ground Turkey.
I do, however, want to share with you a little tip that I have been taking advantage of here lately. Did you know that many stores will mark down packages of meat early in the morning or at night before the store closes? These packages of meat are still fresh and in date, the store just wants to push these packages out the door to make way for the “newer” packages.
A couple of times a week, I will stop at the Super Target by my house after I drop Drew off at Pre school just to take advantage of this. They will have chicken, roasts, pork chops, fish and other items marked down at great prices! Recently, I was able to get packages of Perdue boneless skinless chicken breast for $2.50 per package!
Most stores like Winn Dixie and Sweetbay mark their meats down at night, so you may want to take a trip over there if you need meat added to your stockpile!
Do you have a fast and frugal tip that you would like to share? Please email me at: mysweetsavings@gmail.com
