Is anybody as cheap as me?

When I go into our local Kroger - the meat department keeps a bargin bin. I cant resist loading up - scored a bunch of porterhouse steaks today - gonna grill those bad boys this week.

Its weird - they were as fresh as anything else in the meat market. For a given cut, like poterhouse, whenever select grade is on sale, the premium meat gets put in the bargin bin. (I suppose nobdy is buying the premium grades?)

Well we generally we have grassfed home raised beef. But on the occiason that we run out before we have another ready to go to the processing house I will buy the quick sale meats. In fact thats about the only way I get to buy lamb chops.

.69 is the "sale" price around here. Usually up over 1.19 with boneless breasts pushing 4.50/lb. I gotta move.
