Anyone have any input on buying cows for butchering?
Worth it?
Yes. Find a farmer local that will sell a whole and deliver to butcher then you pay butcher and farmer.Anyone have any input on buying cows for butchering?

Wonder what it is. I honestly feel like cookout is one of the only fast food places that doesn't upset my stomach in some way. Chick-fil-a almost always does it to me.i may be fat. BUT im not eating cookout that place makes me sick every time i eat there.
Must be a heathen, you're allergic to God's Chicken.Chick-fil-a almost always does it to me.
It's so weird. I don't know if its the peanut oil they cook with chicken in or what.Must be a heathen, you're allergic to God's Chicken.

Dang! I hate yall have such bad experiences with Cookout. I feel like for fast food, its pretty damn good and can def get a lot of food for the money (used to anyways)Finally another person that doesn't like Cookout. Everytime I try to eat there the food is awful. Burgers are way past well done and aren't edible. Everything from the deep fryer looks and tastes like they forgot about it and left it in the fryer for an hour.
I'll buy the other half.In for the replies. We've talked about getting 1/2 for the upright freezer.
Keep in mind the best deal is likely not getting everything from one place. The different stores will have different categories they are better in.So, we went to Neighborhood Walmart over the weekend for our weekly trip and that was sort of a bust. Ending up spending a little more, but I do feel like we got more food/drinks than I feel like we would have gotten at teeter for the same amount, so next week, we will try Aldi and see how that does.
They do. Not as much as they used to, I don't think. I worked there all through high school and they used to give out $10, $15, $20 off coupons all the time, which was nice, but the most recent coupons they send out are only $5 off.Doesn't Harry Peeter have like a triple coupon day or something? My cousin works at HT corporate in purchasing, and says that you can get the best prices there if you play the system just a little, and he's a reasonably smart dude that is good with numbers, so I have no reason to doubt him.
if you are just lookign at the total bill and dont have an exact match BOM or a peer unit value you are simply wasting time. The comparative data is 100% valueless.So, we went to Neighborhood Walmart over the weekend for our weekly trip and that was sort of a bust.

This.
If you're serious about this effort, take your WM receipt and make a spreadsheet, go through the receipt and make at least 4 columns - Item, quantity in item, and the cost. then calculate the cost per item.
Do that again at Aldi and again at your normal grocery. Then compare them. Based on that you can make a plan for next time that takes the best of each location.
Think of it this way. Most big retail stores have pretty similar operating costs. They make their money by having some things that are high profit and others that are not, so that the sum for an average shopper is enough that is balances out as good for them. The different stores have different schemes (and they change over time) for how they balance their profits across items.
Your job is to figure out the difference in their schemes, then focus on just those things at each place.
Its work. But think of it as paying yourself for that effort in the savings.
We sometimes have this problem with bread products. Have half a loaf at home, bread is on sale so Rachael buys another, then for whatever reason we don't eat sandwiches for a whole week and that first half a loaf goes in the trash.I’d add another column for waste…as another data point so you’re not always caught up on unit price. Unit price means diddly if you’re throwing away your savings, where utilization matters. Back when I was doing the whole ‘budget coach’ thing…an example of unit price vs utilization/consumption would be folks would fixate on the fact that they could buy a 10lb bag of apples and it was 25 cents/apple cheaper than buying a couple individual apples. That’s great…but if you only eat 3 apples/week and throw away the rest of the 10lb bag…you lost money. That’s the potential pitfall of value/bulk shopping.

unfortunately for spreadsheet-building, this column you have to go back and fill in later, it takes awhile to figure out what really happens.
If you are spending money on drinks, that's the first place to cut. Water or making tea at home is a whole lot cheaper.So, we went to Neighborhood Walmart over the weekend for our weekly trip and that was sort of a bust.
