If you want to save money on groceries, you will hear many people saying you should cut back on meat consumption. Yes, this does allow you to save money, but it doesn’t work for everyone. If you want your meat, avoid precut meats.

As a kid, my family use to love eating chicken speedies. I always remember my parents buying the tub that came with precut chicken and it was already mixed with marinade. The first time I attempted to buy this, I was shocked at the price. I got a large package of chicken (and used less than half for the chicken speedies) and then went to the marinade section to pickup a jar of marinade. It was much cheaper. Don’t pay someone to cut or marinade your meats for you. It is a lot cheaper to do it yourself.

Also, don’t do the counter shopping at the meat department. At my store, it is called the Butcher Block. It is cheaper to get the prepacked meat.
