Hi <<First Name>>  

It’s August and we’re in the midst of some really hot days here in Arizona. We are grateful for Air conditioning, shade and a swimming pool to cool off in at night.

We’ve been helping daughter Becky and husband Nolan move into their new house. It’s been a lot of work, but very rewarding seeing their house become a home.


It's a great little house with 3 bedrooms, yellow doors and shutters, mature trees and an organic garden area already established.

Finding the Cheapest Place to Buy Meat

 

Are you looking to save money and find cheap meat near your home? These strategies could save you thousands of dollars this year.

Putting Meat on the Table History:

Years ago, it was the man’s “job” to hunt for the meat to provide for the family. All it cost was a few days’ trudging through the forest, and some bullets or arrows. Then there was time to clean and dress the meat, a man’s muscles to lug it all home and space to smoke it and then store it.

Today, in our more “sophisticated” society, both sexes are responsible for putting meat on the table. 

The chore isn’t quite as physically taxing. But to do it economically, you still need good tracking skills, a place to store your prize catches, and the ability to know when to “pull the trigger” and buy.

Learn how we set a “Buy Price” for meat and how to find the best deals
