Sold at reduced prices to local eateries.
I asked the butcher at the small market in town
what the yellow 'manager's special' sticker
with a reduced price means, he said the meat is
perfectly fine but cook it that day or freeze it.
He told me that local restaurants show up early
each morning and buy up much of the meat that
some at RFC refer to as "used meat". From larger
stores like COSTCO their "used meat" is bought
by local nursing homes, hospitals, and such.
A lot is donated to shelters and soup kitchens for
the tax write-off.
