Frugal Finds: Meats from Target

Sometimes it is hard to save money on the things you need and use often. Meat is the one thing that comes to mind. But when you do find a good deal, if you are like me, it is stock up time! Today for my frugal find, I am excited to share the savings at Target this week.

In my town, we have a Super Target that offers a full grocery store and for some reason, I always seem to find big savings on meats. It may be pure luck or timing, or the fact that maybe not many people here think about shopping for meat at Target. Regardless, my frugal find saved me some serious cash.

My first score was on the ground turkey. Slated to go out of code in a day, this was reduced by $2 a package bringing the cost to $2.99 for a 1.25 lb package. Great deal as that is rarely on sale. Grabbed 3 of those.

Next, I spied some boneless, skinless chicken thighs – my favorite cut, and those were $3 off per pack bringing that cost to $3.29 per 1.75 lb package. Not bad for around here. Grabbed 2 of those. I also threw in a package of chicken breast tenders at $2 off.

Then my biggest savings was a complete surprise. I had used a coupon from the Cartwheel app for 5% off of some pork chops. But when I got home the price had dropped considerably. I chose 2 packs of the thick center cut chops and one came in at $3 off – saving me more than 50% and the other package was $2 off – saving me about 35% including my cartwheel savings!

All of those savings on meat alone was about $19.50! Now that is what I call a frugal find! Yes!
