Update: started buying meat from the clearance bin at the Santa Clarita Vons and my food bill dropped almost $90 a month
I used to plan meals first and then buy whatever meat looked good, which meant paying full price most weeks. About 4 months ago I started hitting the store Monday mornings when they mark down the stuff that expires in a day or two, and now I freeze it the second I get home. Last month I spent $112 total on protein instead of the $200 I was used to. Some people say the marked down meat tastes off or is risky, and I get that worry. So is it smarter to save the $90 or just pay full price for peace of mind?

Get the worry, paying full price feels safer when you're feeding a family. But freezing it right away like you do kills that risk, so keep the $90 and sleep fine.
