Saving Money on Meat
I've heard many times over my years of couponing, "Yeah, but there's no coupons for meat and it's expensive" (or some variation of that phrase). Well, sometimes there are coupons for meat, although it's not a common thing, but I still save a lot of money on meat regularly.
The first step is to decide which store in your area is the best to save money on meat. The easy way to do this is to visit the stores on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays, morning times are best. These are the days I get the best deals! After a few visits you should be able to see who marks down their meat the most.
Locally, I prefer to shop at Greer's. I just went today and took some photos of what I purchased out of the meat department. I'll share the photos, then the break down of what I purchased.

| 2 packs of BBQ seasoned Pork Chops and pack of Bacon |
 |
| 2 x Baby Back Ribs and 7 x hamburger meat |
Market Style Bacon
Was $4.56 Now $2.53
(note: I purchased 2, but one had already been opened. Price was about the same.)
Pork Chops w/ A BBQ Rub/Seasoning
2 Packs of 5: $3.43 and $3.31
Baby Back Ribs w/ a BBQ rub/seasoning
2 slabs: $5.79 & $5.69
Hamburger Meat x 7
Was $7.53 Now $1.62
Was $4.58 Now $1.07
Was $4.70 Now $1.15
Was $5.03 Now $1.22
Was $4.95 Now $1.20
Was $5.03 Now $1.23
Was $4.62 Now $1.12
Now the Ribs nor the Pork Chops had the before price, I normally save at least 50% on these!
If I purchased the Hamburger meat alone (notice, it's a mix of ground beef, ground chuck, etc) NOT on sale, it would have cost me $36.24. I paid $8.61. Total savings on hamburger meat? $27.63 or 76%!!!!
On everything else I saved about 50%!
All of the meat is STILL IN DATE and, since I froze it immediately, should be good for a few weeks at least (not that it will last that long! lol).
Do you have any suggestions on how to save money on meat? If so, please leave them in the comments below!
