Saving Money On Meat

April 15, 2010

Meat expenses can really kill a grocery budget.  When we first started analyzing our grocery expenses, meat was our number one expense.  I would be okay living off of salads and fresh fruits and vegetables, but my husband won’t have it.  Instead, we found some ways to still enjoy our meat, without breaking our grocery [...]

My husband and I, in an effort to not only live more frugal, but to lead a healthier lifestyle, have come across all sorts of new things. I’m not a pill taker, I despise medicine of all sorts.
