Over the weekend, I finally had an opportunity to visit our local tiny butcher shop, Chicken Beef & More. I have been meaning to go in there for some time. I saw an ad in our local paper that showed that they were having a sale. A really good sale. I made my list- I wanted to buy 5 lbs of ground beef (on sale for $1 lb), 5 lbs of chicken drumsticks (on sale for $1 lb) and 10 lbs of apples (on sale for $1 lb). That would cost me $20 plus tax. I arrived and browsed, the chicken drumsticks were marked down to $0.75 lb- YEA!!!! And I found some other amazing deals. The gentlemen running the shop were so nice and helpful and I will definitely be back. I told my husband that if we could plan our menu around their sales, we could save even more money:) I highly recommend if you have a local butcher shop that you check it out- you never know what amazing deals await you. This is what I got:
I was very pleased with my purchase- when I got home on Saturday I threw what I could in the freezer- that is why some of its probably looks frozen in the picture. I just had an opportunity to take this pic last night.
I purchased:
1 dz eggs- $1
1.12 lbs 81% ground beef- $3.39 lb-marked down to $1
0.75 lb 81% ground beef- $3.39 lb- marked down to $0.75
5 lbs 80/20 ground beef- $1 lb- $5.00
1.86 lbs chicken legs- $0.75 lb- $1.40
1.85 lbs chicken legs- $0.75 lb- $1.39
1.70 lbs chicken legs- $0.75 lb- $1.28
1.45 lbs chicken legs- $0.75 lb- $1.09
3.47 lbs Boston Butt- $1.00 lb- $3.47
3.87 lbs Boston Butt- $1.00 lb- $3.87- this didn't make it into the picture- instead it made it into my crockpot to make shredded pork for a dinner possibility for next week.
3.22 lbs of apples- $1.00 lb- $3.22- I forgot to include the apples into the pic also
All of the above for $24.64 after tax. I think I did a great job and only went over my initial amount of $20 by less than 5 dollars. And all the meat will last us for about 10 meals :)
