How To
How to afford Organic Meat even when on a Budget
In this article, I will share my tips and tricks for buying organic meat without having to break the bank.
You will learn where to buy cheap organic meats, and what they cost per pound. Learn how to get maximum value from the products you buy.
To eat well, you don't have to spend a lot. Sometimes creativity is required to make money while still eating healthy. Here are my top tips for keeping food costs down and still enjoying the many benefits of organic meat.
- Shop at wholesale clubs - Sams Club or Costco are great places to buy bulk foods such as chicken breasts and pork chops. These stores often offer discounts on large quantities of meat, up to 50 pounds, if you are lucky enough to be near one. This way you won't end up with any leftover meat. It's also possible to freeze meat purchased in bulk so that it lasts longer.
- You can shop online for meat at great prices. Amazon has Prime Pantry, a weekly sale that offers free shipping for orders over $35. You can get discounts on ground beef, beef roasts, lamb steaks and pork loins. You can browse their website and view what's on sale at different times.
- Look for a local farmer. They usually charge less than big-box retailers, as they don't have to pay large stocking fees. They know exactly what the animals ate and drank to ensure they are fully informed about what is in their bodies.
- Look out for cuts that are the leanest. It's generally less expensive to cook lean meat than fatty. You should always look for the best cuts. The most popular are sirloin or flank steak, tenderloin roasts, top round steak, and top roast steak. These cuts are high in protein and low in fat.
- You don't have to be afraid to try new recipes. Start cooking with ingredients that you have never used before. This is one of the easiest ways reduce your grocery costs. You may be amazed at the variety of delicious dishes that you can make with fresh tomatoes, onions garlic, olive oil and spices.
- Be creative with leftovers - If you have leftover cooked meat or poultry, use them for sandwiches, salads, soups, casseroles, etc. Remaining meat can be used for quick lunches or dinners.
Here you have it! These are my top tips for how to get organic meat on a tight budget. Do you have any other tips? What other tips do you have for me?
