So many people come to me with questions about ways to save on meat. There are not many coupons for meat, so savings can feel limited. However, there are still have many ways to save on meat and they are simpler than you may think. You just have to be intentional and, in some cases, think ahead.
10 Ways to Save on Meat
Buy in bulk
Team up with friends and buy part of a cow or a pig from a local farm. Here are some detailed tips about buying a cow.
Buy cheaper cuts of meat
You can use different cooking techniques to make cheap cuts taste great. Also, deboning them yourself or cooking them and then removing the bones will be cheaper in the long run.
Buy big packages that are on sale
If you have a Costco or Sam’s Club membership, separate the packages and freeze in desired serving sizes. You’ll pay more up front, but the cost per pound is usually cheaper.
Buy big cuts of meat
You can cut bigger cuts up into smaller sizes and use them in different ways. For example, you can buy several whole turkeys when they go on sale at Thanksgiving, and cook them over the next several weeks, freezing the meat after it’s cooked.
Don’t throw out the bones

Can you believe it’s really fall? I hope the weather here in the Southeast catches up with the calendar, but at least in terms of the kitchen, I’m starting to make more fall dishes. Think less salads, and more casseroles and stews. Here is my monthly meal plan for October 2023, free for you and full of yummy ideas for meals for the entire month.
Southern Savers FREE October 2023 Monthly Meal Plan
This month I want to start making some recipes that make me feel like fall. I still like to use the grill because the weather is cooperating, but I also want to make some chili dogs and some heartier dishes. If there are side dishes or other foods on the monthly meal plan that you don’t like, just substitute for something your family will eat! I’ve also included many one-dish meals for this month as fall activities ramp up and you don’t want to make complicated meals that will leave a big mess.
