Cheap Meats You Should And Shouldn’t Buy

With the price of groceries on a continuous rise, you may be looking to save a bit of money at the supermarket. Meat can quickly get pricey, and it’s a good time to search for cheaper alternatives to the meats you normally buy. The good news is that even in these expensive times, there are still plenty of good deals to be found at the meat counter if you know what to buy. Cheap cuts often need a little more cooking time to be edible, but when prepared the right way they can rival the most expensive meat at the butcher shop.

All the same, that doesn’t mean that all cheap meat is a good idea. Some cheap cuts of meat aren’t really worth buying at all (at least if you like flavor and tenderness). Other types of meat can be good if you opt for high quality but are downright horrifying if you buy the cheapest brands. Don’t worry; with the guidance from this list, you’ll know exactly what cheap meats you should and shouldn’t buy. The prices we quote in this article come from our local area, so keep in mind you may find slight variations where you live.
