How to buy organic meat even on a tight budget
In this post I'll share some tips and techniques for buying organic meat that won't break the bank.
Here are my tips for finding cheap organic meats. I'll also tell you how much each pound costs. You'll learn how to get the best from what you buy.
It doesn't take a lot to eat healthy. Sometimes, it takes a bit of creativity to save money while eating well. Here's my list to help you keep food costs low while still enjoying all the health benefits of organic meat.
- Wholesale clubs - Sams Club, Costco, and Sams Club offer great deals on bulk foods like chicken breasts. You can often find deals on large quantities (up to 50 pounds) if you live close to one of these stores. This ensures that meat is not wasted. If you buy it in bulk you can freeze it so it lasts more.
- Look online to save money on meat. Amazon, for example, offers Prime Pantry, a weekly deal that includes free shipping on orders greater than $35 They offer discounts for beef roasts and ground beef as well as lamb steaks, lamb steaks, pork loins, and other items. It is easy to browse their website and check out what is on offer at different times.
- Local farmers will usually be cheaper than big-box retailers since they don't pay large fees to stock their shelves. Because they know exactly the diets and drinks of their animals, local farmers can provide a better understanding of what's inside.
- You should look for the leanest cuts of meat. Lean meat is typically cheaper to cook than fatty. The leanest cuts are therefore preferred. These include sirloin, tenderloin, top round, flank, and top-round steaks. These cuts have high protein and low fat.
- Try new recipes. You can cut down on your grocery costs by starting to cook with ingredients you don't have before. You might be amazed at the delicious recipes you can create with fresh tomatoes and onions, garlic, olive oils, and spices.
- You can be creative with leftovers. If you have leftover poultry or meat, you can use them to make sandwiches, soups and casseroles. Remaining meat can be used for quick lunches or dinners.
