My Meat Run

Couponers dont tend to post a lot of hearty meat buying... but most of us DO eat meat! My husband and I eat a LOT of it!!!

So my sister and I, with kidlets in tow, set out for Sam's Club today. This is what I got:

Beef - I got a huge roll of 80/20 (we drain the heck out of our meat as it cooks... and by the time we eat it, I bet it is closer to 95/5, so I dont mind getting it a little fattier, the 90/10 was .30 cents more PER LB!!)
9.75 lbs at $2.24/lb = 21.84
Separated out for 20 meals

Boneless Pork Chops - They were a an inch thick and my husband's only request... he is going to LOVE these!!
3.90 lbs at $2.78/lb = 10.84
Separated out for 4.5 meals (9 chops)

Chicken - Boneless Skinless Breasts - We split a case ($67), takes the price down from $2.20 lb to $1.65 lb
6.53 lbs = $10.77
7.00 lbs = $11.55
6.25 lbs = $10.31
1/2 Case total = $32.63 as opposed to $38.96 (only a $5 savings but that is almost 3 lbs of meat!)
Separated out for 42 meals

66.5 meals for $65.31 or about .49 cents per person per meal.
