Never paid much attention to the meat section until I saw corned beef marked down for St. Patty’s Day. I’m not even Irish, but suddenly I’m wondering what other deals I’ve been missing out on. Grocery stores really do have these weird, almost secret sale cycles. I mean, turkey drops in November, ham is everywhere around Easter, and apparently, brisket gets cheap around BBQ season. Why is this not common knowledge? It’s kind of frustrating realizing how much money I’ve probably wasted buying stuff at full price. Meat is already expensive enough, but even things like cheese and eggs have their moments. Sometimes I’ll see a random markdown on salmon or pork chops, and it feels like winning the lottery. I wish there was a calendar or something for all these food sales. It’s like you have to be in the know or just stumble across them. Maybe that’s the game grocery stores play. Either way, I’m definitely paying more attention now, because saving a few bucks here and there actually adds up. #GroceryHacks #FoodDeals #MeatSales #BudgetShopping #Food
