Title: Super Cheap meat finds at Costco
Post by: Buckmark on December 17, 2020, 04:39:48 PM: Ever stumble onto super to good to pass up sales on meat at Costco or other places?
Last spring after or like the day or two before Easter they had giant spiral cut hams for pennies on the dollar.
This time we went with zero intention of buying any proteins, i was told before we went in that we needed no meat or seafood, but as luck would have it we passed an end case that had whole pork loins in it, for -$8.00 each no limit :yike: normal price was $1.99 per lb
Trick to get the best deal was to find the smaller ones my wife said as she dove in the case and came out with 4, total weight of 29.04 lbs which at normal price would of been $57.79, but with 8 off each one she paid $25.79, or .89c lb :tup:

She said she went full Mormon on that one :chuckle:
She would of gotten more but did not want to feel greedy

The freezer broke and the owner didn't eat seafood and the legs were already half thawed out by the time he found it. He asked if I wanted to buy them, I said "how much?" and he replied, $20 for everything. There were three boxes in there, we ate well that night. Also got some scallops and I think a random piece of fish or two that were under the crab.

Still kickin myself for only buying 3 packages. :bash:

My wife rarely eats ribs. I can eat a lot of ribs but it still takes awhile to go through three racks by yourself.
LOL
