Meat on Sale Thread

[rkilgore]

Maybe a thread just for meat and when it is on sale and where. Good deals, when to stock up, etc.

Where in Texas are you?

Our Albertson's (in Florida) has boneless chicken breast for $1.49/lb this week. Too bad I just stocked up at $1.69/lb. Anyway, I'm kinda mad at them cause they wouldn't let me use my $5 of $50 store coupon b/c my mq's brought my total to $41 something. Even though I had her scan the $5 one first. They said it had to be $50 AFTER all coupons, including mq's. I know I've done it there before, but this lady was a real stick and when I asked for a manager only had another cashier confirm what she was telling me. Sorry to vent. I think maybe Publix will honor deals from other stores.

I didn't have a problem with using the coupons.....I went to self check-out and scanned the $5.00 one first then the rest of them.

What stores are around you?

I do look for sales in the flyers, but I also check my stores on wednesday and thursday, they are usually marking down meat they cut earlier in the week to get ready for the weekend. I buy most of my meat that way, and repackage in meal portions and freeze. I don't track that, I buy as much as I can, so some weeks I have lots of pork, other weeks I have lots of chicken, etc. Don't forget to check the deli coolers also!

Well, like I said, I know I've done it before. I think there are two different Albertson's companies. Maybe they're not the same? I asked at walmart one time when they mark meat down and he said all throughout the day every day. Real helpful, huh?

Crazy isn't it?

I have run across brisket for .60 a pound at walmart (there were enormous slabs though that required cutting into smaller roasts and rewrapping), 1.00 a pound ground beef at walmart and .50 pound chicken breast at walmart. ALL were unadvertised specials. We try to run by there a couple of times a week to see what is on sale because they are not advertising their meat sales.
