Food… it’s whats for dinner

The usual scene: me carefully scrutinizing the meat department at my local Albertsons for remaindered meat. Annnnnnnnnd….pork tenderloin:So, the pork tenderloin was marked down from $10.99 to $5.00 each. Not bad…but not good enough for my tastes. Fortunately, they were marked down to 30% off because today was the last day to Sell By:

I head over to the meat counter.

“You’ve got nine of those pork tenderloins marked down 30%. I’ll take ’em all and empty out your bin if you’ll markk ’em down to 50%.”

“Okay.”

Thusly:

And thats how you wind up with receipt that says “You saved: 77%”. Or, put another way, dang near $99 at regular price but in my freezer for $22.50.

So…that’s a nice little score to go into the deep freeze. And it frees up a chunk of cash to buy silver today since it took a bit of a tumble and dropped down to a low of $16.55 before bouncing back. I caught it at $16.75 but still feel good about it.

  1. I do the same thing at my local Shop ‘n’ Save. Got a few family packs of Delmonico steaks that were marked down to, can you believe, $3.99/lb. Regular sale price was $8.99/lb. Most of them will be getting cubed up and mixed 50/50 with chuck to be ground into gourmet burgers. Hey, don’t judge me until you’ve tried them. I’ve done the same thing with strip steak that was marked way down……………..

  2. Well done! I too, pounced on the silver crash: 6 ASEs for under $19/copy (on a credit card!) delivered……
