63. Shop at the end of the day.

I was at the grocery store the other day, later in the day, and noticed a bunch of meat with a sticker that said cook or freeze tonight on it and it was significantly marked down.  What this means was that it had been packaged a few days ago and basically it was time for someone to do something with it or it was getting thrown out. 

I scooped up a few of them (not too much, I have a tiny freezer full of bananas I'm planning to make bread out of.) and took them home to freeze.  On the day I decide to cook them I will just take a package out of the freezer when I leave for work in the morning and make sure to cook it that day.  I think on about three meals worth of meat I saved about $10.
