Checked out the new Fred Meyer ad. They have some great sales on meat for the holidays. Especially a prime rib $4.88 per pound and a NY roast for $3.47 per pound. If you have your holidays covered and can get afford it this would be a great item to stock up on and freeze for next year. If you are trying to shop as I do you are shopping months in the future. I think these roasts make a nice Easter or Spring time change of pace. If you are new to this is a bargain if you ever wanted to do a nice beef dinner for New years or Xmas eve. I still think that Xmas day is for turkey or ham. But it's your holiday have some fun. Freddy's also has chicken 99 cents a pound and I love to throw a chicken in my little rotisserie oven with some spices and then make chicken stock and chicken and dumplings with the leftovers. Homemade chicken stock is great for colds and chicken&dumplings is just plain comfort food and good for your soul.
I live alone so I can usually get several meals out of any hunk of meat. I'll freeze my stock though many folks can it. I freeze several bags of starting stuff like stocks for Beef and Barley soup to chicken and rice. They can also be starters for a week worth of meals.
Butter is also on sale 2 pounds for $4.00 a good thing to freeze or for canned butter. It seems Norway is having a butter shortage and prices have jumped. There is even a black market in something as simple as butter. I just walk out the freezer or the General store and look how much I have and get a warm fuzzy feeling. If you have a cow or goat give it a hug!
