I've got some ribeye steaks out in the freezer that cost me 4 bucks a
pound ... We catch a local store's semi-annual gigantic meat sales . And
they don't adulterate their meat with "solutions" (except prepackaged
chicken , oh well). I usually buy pork loin strips , some kind of beef
steak/roasts , chicken breasts etc , all in quantity . It gets
repackaged in portions for two and frozen .
