Piggly Wiggly is not normally a store that you think of when you think of frugal living or saving money. However, my dad has always told me that he cannot go into "The Pig" without walking out with meats. He says that the meats are excellent quality and to quote him, "They give it away". Well, I do not know if they give it away or not, but I decided to check out this week's Piggly Wiggly ad.Fresh Whole Boneless Pork Loins are $1.49 lb and Fresh Center Cut Boneless Pork Loins are $2.29. In comparison, Harris Teeter sells the boneless Pork loins for $2.99 lb.
My DH and I both love boneless center cut chops, which at HT run $5.29 lb. By purchasing the whole loin at The Pig, we can have the butcher cut it into chops...or cut it ourselves and save $3 lb.
"The Pig" currently has USDA select Bone-In Whole Ribeyes for $3.89. Thier Ribeye steaks are $4.99 lb. Harris Teeter's Rancher Ribeye Steaks are $9.99. DH and I can buy a whole ribeye and have the butcher cut it into steaks and save $6.10 lb. Quite a savings!!
What other frugal food ideas do you have?
