Meat Shopping Savings
Finding Ways to Save When Shopping for Meat
I am always looking for ways to save when grocery shopping and I’m shocked at the prices of meat. Since there aren’t many coupons available for meats, I do the next best thing. The other day, I was going to get some ground beef and it was almost $8.00 per pound! I quickly changed my mind and got a few steaks that were on sale for $5.99 per pound. I can stretch steak, chicken and ground beef into a few different ways that will make many delicious meals on my meat shopping savings ways.
Yesterday I went to BiLo just to pick up a few prescriptions at the pharmacy. I had no intentions of doing any shopping so Rich didn’t even get a cart. After finishing up at the pharmacy, I decided to just “walk past” the meat counter.
The total of the five packages of meat would have cost $54.74 but after using my Bilo card and the tear off special coupons on each package, the total out of pocket was $19.16! I was very pleased with my meat shopping savings on the shopping trip I didn’t plan.
I’m working on a new idea for tonight’s dinner, hope it turns out like I think it will!
What are your favorite ways to stretch meats for your meals? Do you look for sales on meat? I would love to hear your ways to save!
You did awesome with your savings!!
Only thing I saved on today was paying $4.15 for a pair of Bongo jeans At Sears. As they were marked down 70% as the store is closing. It will be added to my daughter’s stuff for back to school clothes.
I’d say you did great on getting jeans for $4.15 Sandy! I love looking for savings where ever I shop, food, clothes, household or shampoos. I’m always searching for the lowest price! Thanks for stopping by.
I would have done the same thing, that is great that you got all that meat.
I don’t like to be greedy, but for those prices, if I didn’t take it, someone else would. LOL I love searching for great savings Brenda!
“What are your favorite ways to stretch meats for your meals?” Good question. I always buy like 2 – 3 x more meat than I need, and cook it all at once. Once it’s cooked, I eat my serving and store the excess in a glass container with a tight lid and store it in the fridge. The next morning, I’ll have it with my eggs. Then maybe for dinner! I don’t mind eating it cold. I don’t think it saves money but it 100% saves effort, time (less dishes to wash) and mental energy (figuring out what I’m going to cook!
Well you are saving money by cooking more at once! You’re saving on electric (or gas) from the stove and water from not having to wash extra dishes! I love left overs and do the same thing, LOVE mixing steak and eggs together the next day! That can be a breakfast or dinner meal for pop and me. I haven’t been storing in a glass container, I’m assuming that’s better than plastic CJ? Saving effort, time and (mental) energy are great! Thanks for popping into my kitchen CJ!!! <3
Great savings! Food is so expensive these days!
Thanks Savvy Age! I love finding ways to save on purchasing food and also ways to stretch the meat to make more meals. Thanks for stopping by.
