And for the record, I don't drink milk.  But as far as bacon goes...I'd drink the grease.

Have to love these threads. We went from lefties and righties fighting over Trump's heart felt and brilliant "Murica' First" speech from last night to the prices of bacon.  :woot:

What Walmart were you shopping at?? :blink:

 

The Wall Mart.

 

Duh?!

The commissary or Costco is the place to get meat, period.

 

Nothing else really compares.

What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

This I can agree with, followed up by a bit more pricy Publix or Carol's Meat Market.


Ever since I've seen green meat at Walmart one day, I stay far away..

You were actually going to buy meat from Walmart? 

 

Not sure if you guys have Wegmans down in Florida but they're awesome.

Publix is pricey as [BLEEP]. I'll get my cuts from there though. If it's one thing you never want to be cheap on it's meat. Dat Boar's Head though!!!

Wasn't gonna buy at all..


You ever get that weird feeling like you're being watched? It was just staring at me from across the aisle.

One tip though when picking out meat from any store. Always pull from the back of the shelf or row. That's where the fresh cuts should be.

 

I've read that some places have a practice of taking aged meat from the front or middle of the shelf that's browned a bit and they'll dip it in fresh blood or mix it with fresh meat to give it the appearance of bright red and freshness to save on losses.

$5.77, T.G. Lee, Walmart at San Pablo and Atlantic Blvd, 9pm last night.

 

And you shut your dirty mouth about bacon you heretic.  :pirate:

 

Well, okay, Mr. Fancy Pants, if you're buying the TG Lee, maybe, but the Walmart house branded milk is less than $3 per gallon.   Publix milk is $2,99 a gallon today, also.

The markdowns are where the best deals are, if they offer them.  Better markets have a better understanding of their needs (and have cut schedules/lists) and do not do markdowns unless they are way off schedule (which is rare - no pun intended.)

 

There is nothing wrong with "browned" beef.  It's that we've been conditioned as shoppers to buy the reddest looking meat.

 

As long as you're buying from a shop you would feel safe with their "fresh" meat, their markdowns will be just as good (or even better.)  If it passes the smell test and is not slimy, it's good (that's of course on the extreme end of "browned" beef, in case you're wondering about the meat that's been in the fridge a while that you didn't get around to cooking for a few days.)

 

Let your steak get to room temp before cooking for a better cook, more tender steak.

Sam's Club has good meat, also.   Most of the times I go there, which is about once every couple of weeks, they have ribeye steaks for $7.98 per pound. 

 

For really good fish, though, you have to go to a fish market.

I am not too picky. It's not the fact that the meat is brown. It's the fact that these places falsely take the product back into the butcher's and stain it with fresh blood. Something about that just doesn't seem right....

I have a question.. Who wrote Trump speech last night?? Lol..

I've been in the business and have never heard of anyone doing that.  I've heard of distressed steak being trimmed and turned to ground beef or trimmed into stew meat, though as a way of cutting down shrink.

 

Food Lion was exposed for shenanigans in the 90s, but I do not believe you're likely to find anything like that happening at a reputable meat seller (your Publix, Wegmans, Kroger, even Winn Dixie, though I would avoid WalMart meat.)

 

Again, if you would eat their "fresh" package, I wouldn't be wary of a markdown package.  If you think someone would mishandle any package, I wouldn't trust the "fresh" looking one, either.  Just because it's red doesn't mean they weren't just cutting chicken or pork and didn't clean their knives/blades in between.

 

It's all whether or not you trust the shop.  Most of them get the same beef from the same packer IBF/Tyson.  I doubt WalMart does, and if they do... it's a much lower grade than the better stores provide, there is a difference there and it is certainly not good.
