Coupons for meat and produce are very far and few between. A great loop-hole is MANGERS SPECIAL! Yes I said it, ‘Manager Special’ but why not?
Yes they usually are about to expire within a day or two, however, when you get home just freeze it. IT is worth it! Why pay full price if it's not necessary. ‘Manager Special’ meats usually get marked down at night. When I’m looking for these deals I typically go to the store around 8-9pm. A penny saved is a penny earned!
To keep the freshness of my frozen meats, I have purchase one of those air tight packaging systems(LOVE IT). Zip-lock sells one that is inexpensive and actually works well.
Ohhhh I have also invested in another great tool that I LOVE…first just let me say, I’m not one for gimmicky things but the magic bullet blender system is GREAT! It’s small, easy to clean and it has many more great features. I’ve been using this to puree fruit and veggies that are on the verge of going bad and I freeze them. This allows me to re-use the fruit for smoothies or for pies and the puree veggies are great to add into soup to give a nice thick broth or to sneak veggies into another dish. Ideal for kids or any non-veggie eater…they will never know it’s in there lol. Pasta sauce works well for hiding pureed veggies in hehehe.
Best of Luck!
