Recently I discovered that a Safeway near my home has a special section in their meat department. Everything in there is marked down by 50%. In this section is placed items that must be deemed "too old" - I can't think of any other reason they're put here and marked down so much.
I've learned to check this section every time I go into this particular Safeway. It doesn't matter if I'm there for meat or not, I look. I did that yesterday and it paid off.
Dinner last night: marinaded pork, pineapple, and serrano pepper kabobs. Three of 'em, big fat ones... $2.50.
I've scored big amounts of ground beef and I've got a nice collection of steaks going. The day old donut rack has NOTHING on this!
Stuff like this is the other half of the equation that is the passive income stream I'm constantly building. Making your money work for you is good, but you've got to find ways to maximize your buying power to make it great. Stuff like this - silly, huge discounts just because a piece of refrigerated meat has been on offer for longer than X hours - is a good example of the latter.
I'm going back there again today. Yesterday they had three five pound rolls of hamburger and a whole bunch of chicken drumsticks sitting in that section.
Being at the top of the food chain rocks!
