Grocery Sales Week of March 23, 2009

Discounted Meat? -- Thanks to a reader for passing along this tidbit.  She was at the West Chester Meijer store and was able to score some 8% fat ground beef for $1.49/# from the "fresh meat" counter.  Here's the trick -- just before the butcher is leaving for the day he may mark down the meat to get rid of it.  Best chances are about 7pm on Tuesday and Thursdays.  If you don't shop at this Meijer, just ask your butcher when he or she marks down the meat.  If you find out and share with me, I'll share with all next week.
