The best marked down meat deal I ever saw was at a local Sobeys. I had
been out on a motorcycle ride with my buddy who told me about a deal he
had got on peameal bacon. It was chipotle flavoured and was on sake for
$1 per 1 lb. package. He said it was one day off its best before date
and it's bacon, so it won't go bad.

We stopped at the store so he could get more and it had been marked down
even more.... 25 cents !!! I bought 4 of them. The chipotle was very
mild. I threw it in the freezer and would occasionally open up a
package and have some and then tell him about the wonderful breakfast I
had had with 10 cents worth of bacon.
