To all the meat eaters , how do you afford to eat it than a couple of times a week?

54. I am stunned by grocery prices these days.

Meat is crazy expensive. I feel so sorry for moms and dads who are trying to feed their families these days. I troll the meat counter and come up with very few things that seem to be affordable. Whole local chickens on sale for 97 cents a pound are a good buy. And small pork roasts can provide enough for two meals for two or three people. We h .ad one this week: roast pork the first night, delicious pulled pork the next.

Forget about beef. We are eating it rarely.

Bread has gone WAY up too, and I feel very sorry for families with no time to bake their own, who can only afford the really cheap awful stuff. The mid-level brand here is often $4.99 a loaf!! And the seedy nutty stuff is more than $5!! Crazy. I have a good source for good bread at discount, and I often load up an extra bag to give to a family with children nearby.
