Thrifty Thursday: How to Save on Meat (Part 2)

by Dana Zeliff on November 4, 20102010-11-04
in Uncategorized

I didn’t intend for an entire week to pass before I continued my series on how to save on meat and produce.  I’ll work on getting more posted this week.

Read How to Save on Meat Part 1 if you missed it last week.

-Buy Bone-in, Skin-on meat: It is typically cheaper to purchase bone-in vs boneless meat.  You can also save by purchasing skin-on chicken and removing it yourself.  It takes a little more work to remove the skin, but the price difference is usually worth it.

–Buy store brand: Although I tend to be a Perdue snob, purchasing store brand meat is usually cheaper (depending on current sales).

–Buy cheaper cuts: Save money by purchasing cheaper cuts of meat and marinading, using a tenderizer or cooking in a crock pot.

–Use rebates: I love taking a stroll through the beer section in search of mail-in rebates.  The beer section isn’t the only place to find meat rebates, but it’s where I find most of mine.  Typically, an alcohol purchase is not required.

-Use coupons from promos: Did you get a Catalina back from a recent store promotion?  It is fairly common to find a store promo to get $10 back via coupon at checkout when you purchase $25 or $30 worth of participating products.  Use the coupon to save on meat (or produce).

Next up, cooking with meat.

What are your tips for saving on meat and produce? Comments left that are not on my notes, will be added in a separate post at the end of the series.

The Coupon Challenge and Mom on Dealz

Welcome to the NEW Tuesday’s Trips Blog Hop hosted by The Coupon Challenge and Mom on Dealz! Instead of a shopping trip linky we’ve decided to change over to a traditional blog hop.

Each week we will be visiting a new social network. Make sure you check back each week to see where we’ll be!

 The Rules are simple:

  • Follow your hostesses in the #1 and #2 spots
  • Leave a comment, so we can follow you back
  • Only link up to the network we are visiting for the week
  • It’s always appreciated that if someone follows you, you follow them back (we all love to find new friends!)

This week is Facebook!
Please link up to your Facebook page only
