I'll give you some tips about where to find organic meats at a low price and how much it costs per pound. You will learn how to make the best out of what you purchase.

For healthy eating, you don’t have to spend a lot. Sometimes creativity is required to make money while still eating healthy. Here's my list to help you keep food costs low while still enjoying all the health benefits of organic meat.

1. Buy at wholesale clubs - Costco and Sams Club are great places to shop for bulk foods like chicken breasts and pork chops. You may be able to get large quantities of meat for as low as 50 pounds if your home is near one of these stores. This way, you won't waste any meat. Also, if you buy in bulk, it can be frozen so it lasts for longer.
2. Shop around online - Tons of websites sell meat at discounted prices. Amazon has Prime Pantry, a weekly sale that offers free shipping for orders over $35. They offer discounts on beef roasts, ground beef, lamb steaks, and pork loins. You can browse their website and view what's on sale at different times.
3. Find a local farmer - Local farmers usually charge less than big box retailers because they do not pay considerable fees to stock their shelves. Local farmers also know exactly what their animals have eaten and drank so they can determine what's in their bodies.
4. You should look for the leanest cuts of meat. Lean meat is typically cheaper to cook than fatty. Therefore, choose the leanest cuts. These include sirloin, tenderloin, top round, flank, and top-round steaks. These cuts are very low in fat and high in protein.
5. You don't have to be afraid to try new recipes. One of the easiest ways to reduce your grocery bill is to start cooking meals with ingredients you haven't used before. You may be amazed at the variety of delicious dishes that you can make with fresh tomatoes, onions garlic, olive oil and spices.
6. Use leftovers to create new recipes. You can make quick meals or lunches from leftover meat.
