It would just ruin me for all other meat for the rest of my life!Chellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14264109854852787464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492627641698528246.post-76850607553426187682013-04-10T23:23:45.528-05:002013-04-10T23:23:45.528-05:00The Dirty Dozen list is a lifesaver.

Last month I just knew I was spending a ton on food and when I looked over my spending it was close to $1000! Granted we had guests for several days and a birthday dinner, but oh my! This month I am tracking every penny!KellyinPAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492627641698528246.post-90020301467040900472013-03-12T09:57:22.261-05:002013-03-12T09:57:22.261-05:00I think $700 is totally doable.

It's where they keep the marked down meat. I definitely browse around in there for some good meat deals as well.

I always kick myself when I go to the market without a list!<br /><br />One great tip I got, is that stores mark down their meat on the morning of the "sell buy" date. The meat is still good and can be frozen. I usually get $2 to $3 bucks off. Michellehttp://milahshandcrafts.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
