Was the coupon because the meat had already reached its “sell by date” ?
I used to be able to get expired meats but then our one and only grocery store quit having them. They’ll put out two or three packages at a time so it’s hard to even stock up.
I used to arrange my upright freezer with chicken on one shelf, beef on another, pork on another, etc. I’m here to say I was wrong. Things still managed to hide and get forgotten. I went through it yesterday and arranged the shelves by date with the oldest dates on the top shelf and moving to newest date on the bottom shelf. FYI, lots of pepper and spice helps offset a bit of freezer burn taste.
