The Early Bird meat markdown
Y'all know I like to cook & smoke meat. When I go shopping I look at the dates on things I want. This morning I took a gamble & more 40 minutes to the store to see if I could pick up the pork bellies with todays date.
Sure enough I scored all 3 of them @ 50% off saving $60.00 on them. It sure does make the bacon taste better. As I pulled in a n!qqer lady was walking in with her daughter & they headed straight back to the markdowns. She watched me load up on them, as she looked over the yard bird. At the register she asked me what they were & I explained bacon in the raw. I started telling about my hobby of smoking & curing meat. I don't think she's going to be trying it as she freaked out that 3 pork bellies a half gallon if milk, loaf of bread & some apples was still $71.00 |

She freaked out? I curse the Dumbocrats every damn time I go to the store. I will bet the farm that negro lady will be horrified at the prices and still pull the Dumbocrat lever.

She went on about how she lubs sum bakun! I was telling her how when I bring a batch in from smoking it how my house has the most wonderful bacon aroma for days. I was telling her I like a nice thick slice in my Bloody Mary's. Then I started to cover the different flavor profile that I make.
Even with the 50% off of those pork bellies I know it way out of her league. Iz aint never seeing dat B4. Dat B wi Iz got @ axe a bot itz!! Of course they loaded up in a new VW that still had dealer plates on it. Me I'm driving a 9 year old Corolla that was the wife car. |

Markdowns were put out at my local store, yesterday. Mostly beef. I got a nice rib roast for $25 and some steaks. They hardly ever have pork belly here, though. I have to go elsewhere for that.
Pork shoulders are on sale for $2.49 - roughly $18-$25 depending on weight. Chuck roasts were on sale, too. Going to slow cook one this weekend and shred for BBQ beef sandwiches.

I recently watched a Youtube video from a guy who essentially said the same thing. He said: "After being homeless for a short while, I would never buy a vehicle I couldn't live in."

Buy pork belly at your local Asian market, it will be vastly cheaper.

Whenever I worked out lunchmeat& came across killer bacon I put it aside to buy myself. When others bitch about me getting all the good bacon & suggest work the lunchmeat loads instead of bitching.
