Just realized my grocery bill went from $210 a week to $140, and the only thing I changed was where I bought meat
Six months ago I was spending around $210 every week at the big grocery store near my house in Akron. I started getting my chicken and ground beef from a local butcher instead, and my weekly bill dropped to about $140. The weird part is the meat is fresher and I'm actually buying less because I'm not tossing half of it after two days. I also started writing down what I threw out each week, and it was close to $30 of wasted food before. The butcher is only a five minute detour on my way home from work, so it is not like I am going out of my way. Has anyone else noticed the big chains charging more for meat that goes bad faster?

Always figured cheap meat was the deal but turns out fresher stuff lasts longer and costs less overall.
