[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s a “hack” for you, OP.
Stop eating so much meat.[/quote]

I came here to post the same thing.

This, OP.  For so many reasons, you should be eating less meat.[/quote]

Did you read her post? The OP doesn't even eat meat - this is for her DH and it sounds like he's cutting back. [/quote]

Thank you for reading carefully! Yes, this is OP + I have not eaten meat for 30 years. And, I know a lot of people (especially men) who still want to eat some. We just stopped eating certain foods this summer such as avacados- once they hit $3.00- I just said "no". We are also just eating less in general.[/quote]

OP, this is what is included in a popular Omaha Steaks Value Freezer Filler:

4 (6 oz.) Bacon-Wrapped Filet Mignons
4 (5 oz.) Butcher's Cut Top Sirloins
4 (5 oz.) Air-Chilled Boneless Chicken Breasts
4 (6 oz.) Omaha Steaks Burgers
4 (3 oz.) Gourmet Jumbo Franks
4 (4 oz.) Caramel Apple Tartlets
1 (3.1 oz. jar) Omaha Steaks Seasoning

This gives you 100 oz. of meat, or 6.25 lbs.  It is currently 53% off, which means it is "only" $169.99.  Let's assume that they are the most expensive apply tartlets and steak seasoning on the planet, and together they cost $45.  You are still paying $20/lb for all the meat included, and the majority of it is hot dogs, burgers, and chicken.

If you think this is a hack, I really don't know what to tell you.  You'd be better off eating all the $3.00 avocados you can find.  [/quote]

I wait for the semi-annual sale that offers much better deals than that and I do not buy extras like apple tarts- I make them. So many naysayers. And, what did other posters have to bring up politics? Take that to the political forum. I grew up poor with ten kids in my family, so I know how to stretch a budget. Now, my dh + I are well off because we have always lived below our means.[/quote]

OK - so what's your average per-pound cost for meat?

If you are citing "buying Omaha steaks on sale" as an example of stretching a budget, I am guessing that it's your DH who is responsible for your family's financial success.  [/quote]

That would be sexist to assume. I am a lawyer + husband has MBA. No college loans/no parental help. We worked during college + respective law school/MBA school periods.[/quote]

How's it sexist, if it's based on what you wrote?

With every new post, you make yourself seem more clueless.  [/quote]
