Joe and I stopped in to Food Lion on the way home one evening this week, and as always I was perusing the meat section looking for markdowns, and I stumbled upon these two beautiful packages of steaks! The 2 pk of Griller Steaks were marked from $7.31 down to $5.12 & the 6 pk of Eye Round Steaks were marked from $4.20 down to $2.94. Total Spent: $8.06!
Not only was I able to stock-pile a little more meat in my freezer, I also did some freezer "cooking." Well, actually freezer prep. I took the round steaks, sliced them up, put 2 steaks worth in each of three bags, left one plain and then put olive oil & fajita seasoning in the other two. So I have 1 pk for stroganoff, and 2 ready for fajitas! The 2 griller steaks I was going to slice up as well, and then I thought they might actually be good to just eat as steak. So I poured some A1 Marinade into a bag, added the 2 steaks, and made another easy to prepare meal! I love being able to get inexpensive meat as well as cutting out some dinner prep time in the process!!! How do you save money on the proteins in your diet?
