Hy-Vee scores

   I must admit that I do not usually shop at Hy-Vee because it is a little upscale for us, esp considering its location, but our neighbor gave us his glass milk bottles so we went there to exchange them for some fancy local milk (cotton candy, strawberry and orange cream )

Anyway, we looked at the sale items and the "reduced for quick sale" items and came home with a "ton" of meat for cheap.

Split chicken breast $.88/lb- 10 packages at about $4.50 each= $45
Ground turkey- $2.00 for 20oz- 3 packages= $6
Certified 85% Ground beef- $1.99/lb- 8 packages at about $4 each= $32
Pork loin pork chops with coupon ($1 off per package) 5 packs at $1.67 each = $8.35
Just Bare 20 oz Boneless skinless thighs 11 packs at $2 each = $22

about $113 for nearly 80lbs of quality meats.  that is an average of about $1.41/lb  and that makes me happy.

The chicken thighs are happily marinating in Teriyaki, Thai BBQ and Italian marinades.
The ground turkey is mixed with some ground beef, onions, peppers and garlic and will be bagged up cooked and ready to season.  
The split breast meat will be boned for broth and either cooked and cubed, marinated, or flattened and stuffed.
The pork loin chops will get a bath in marinade and frozen.
And the ground beef remains will become burger patties.

I am thrilled to get such a great deal on meats after going over budget last month.  God is good.
