[QUOTE="DDD, post: 97903, member: 35"] In recent years I have saved a bundle on meat/seafood items by shopping at the end of the day. Where I shop they mark down all packages that are within 24 hours of "sell by" date. My store does not have a consistent time of day for doing the markdowns but probably 75% of my purchases are discounts. The seafood dept also used to do this but a company policy change requires that they toss away. What a waste! I discovered a couple of years ago that Outback Steak House has a "Joey" menu for kids that is available at the drive up takeout no matter what your age. There are seven choices and the most expensive is $7.99.....that's the sirloin steak which if you opt for the baked potato all the way will fill a teenager! They also usually toss in a loaf of pumpernickle and butter. Such a deal! The biggest money saver for my family is avoiding impulse stops to eat. I usually have my meals planned in advance and sometimes partially prepared. I always keep a frozen meal available so on nights when I am too tired, or there someplace to go..it gets nuked and eaten off paperplates. That's faster than fast food and alot healthier and cheaper too. DDD [/QUOTE]
