Ended up at the local grocery on a Monday
Found 70/30 percent hamburger marked down to $1 a pound.
Three things were odd about this.
1. Meat is only marked down on Tuesday morning.
2. Meat hasn't been $1 a pound in a long time.
3. I actually had money.
Sooooo. . . . .
I picked up 45 pounds.
And walked around the store in shock.
While people stared at me and even said to me, "Wow, that's. . . a lot of meat."
I forgot the Manwich mix.
( I know, not frugal, but we haven't found a homemade version we like. Yet.)
So, when I backtracked to the 2nd aisle, I went past the meat section again.
The butcher was putting out more markdown hamburger.
This time it was 93/7 percent.
No.Way.
So I traded in the higher fat version I had in my cart for the lower fat hamburger.
And walked around the store some more.
Cool.
Thank you Lord.
99 cents a pound is incredible! I would've picked up as much as I could also. What grocery store do you shop at?
ReplyDeleteThis was a the little local store, an IGA-type store. I love it 'cuz you never know what you'll find in there! Like Fels-Naptha soap, sprinkles in bulk, and even fishing worms next to the checkout.
