Not much cheaper.

How about meatloaf?

Well, if you are such a naysayer, what are you doing to deal with rising food prices?


I don't know, but I think "steak delivery service" and food hacks to cut back on costs don't go together.

I came here to post the same thing.

This, OP. For so many reasons, you should be eating less meat.


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.

A plus is that this does stretch the meat so it goes further. We also add some canned corn to the meat mixture as well, but maybe that is not to everyone's taste.


We have been stocking up on canned veges when they are on sale. I like your idea to add corn.

For us, I order meats when they are on sale at Omaha Steaks, Kansas City Steaks and Schwanns + keep them in our freezer and have enough food for a month (small fridge/freezer). Then, when my dh goes to store,we do not have any meat costs. I do not eat meat, so we save that way too. Empty-nesters.

What do you do?


Is Omaha Steaks, KC Steaks and Schwanns, cheaper than Costco for steaks?


Never, which is why I cannot even respond to the OP. Not sure how anyone on a budget thinks ordering food online is cheaper than shopping in store sales.
