Amanda, thank you for another marvelous idea!!! I’ve been a cook for years but never thought of doing this with a hunk o’ meat. The butcher at my Publix cut me a roast, stew meat, 2 ground beefs, and 2 cubed steak packages. Even the cashier was amazed at your idea. I will think of you and marvel at your brilliance each time I open my freezer and eye my stockpile of inexpensive meat…

I still really wanted the deal so I went back to Publix. They didn’t have the precut package, but I noticed they had a precut package for pork. I asked him to do the same thing to the beef and he cut, packaged and labelled everything for me. Beef for stew, cubed beef steak, thin cut, ground beef, oven roast, etc. Now I have enough meat for probably two months.

Sigh. I am SO frustrated with myself. I somehow failed to notice that under the same 1.99 sign was sirloin tip for 2.89. i had him cut it up just like you said and got 10 lbs for 30 instead of 15 for 3o. So frustrating and i don’t even know how to make sirloin tip!

Finally made it over to Publix today & ours also had a precut package out. It was perfect… stir fry strips, ground beef, cubed, sandwhich cuts, oven roast… The meat manager said it was a weeks worth of meals, but I’m thinking it will be more than that! Thanks so much for another great tip!

I needed to contact you to tell you I’ve been pulling a “Julie and Julia” with your recipes lately. I totally need to write up one big blog post about the whole experience!

Meatballs, pizza, chili mac, picadillo and many more. SO delish!!

I am so glad I could help! Those big cuts of meat are really intimidating, aren’t they?! Have a great day!

WOW! Thank you so much for opening my eyes! I also went to buy the meat deal and saw how huge it was…there was no way I was going to buy it….never even thought to have them cut it up and use it for so many recipes!! Thank you!!!

Leigh Ann,

You are so sweet! Thanks for being such a loyal reader!

You can’t let a freezer like that go unused! You better get it plugged in!

FYI- When I hit up the sale this AM where the sign was for the “$1.99 Whole Bottom Round”‘ there was several “3 meat packages that had a roast, steaks, and ground beef. I thought that was a great deal all three were good sizes and the total was $15.15 for the package deal!!!! I am guessing that they did that for people that possible had already been asking or just because they know that people often ask for stuff like that when they have the whole cow on sale

I love your blog! You have the best ideas and you are always original. I would have never even thought about having them cut a giant roast up like that. I did not know they would do that! And your recipes look soooo yummy. Thanks for this great idea. Now, if I can just clear out a spot to plug in the deep freezer that is sitting in my garage not being used…
