I rarely go to burger places but when I do or to Subway. Popeye's etc it's always with a coupon. No exceptions. And when buying meat it's always when it's on sale. I'll buy several and freeze them.

Right now with Easter coming hams are on sale so I got a half ham, about 7 lbs for $1.39/lb and a lot of it will be be sliced for future sandwiches or breakfast, wrapped in 3 or 4 day amounts and frozen. I buy chicken leg quarters in ten pound bags when they're on sale for about .79/lb. Sometimes I'll grill half of them and freeze those or just separate the quarters and wrap them in various configurations, usually two thighs or four drums per pack. If I decide to debone the thighs before wrapping, I'll make stock out of the bones.

BTW, what did you spend $100 on that amounted to "nothing?

Americans have gotten really picky about what they eat.
Then they call people that do eat this stuff derogatory names.
Armadillo is really good eating.
Better than chicken.
I stopped eating them when I heard they carried leprosy.
Squirrel is good and something everyone ate.
Rabbit too
I've also eaten raccoon groundhog soft shell turtle and opossum.
Young raccoon is really good BBQed.
Now some people won't eat chicken with a bone in it.

Smoked until tender and then BBQ'd young groundhog and poke greens is a springtime favorite of mine!

I love young ground hog and poke greens.
Been years since I've eaten any.

I had a poke plant growing were I used to live.
I fertilized it and kept it watered.
It grew up past the second story window at least 15 feet tall and more like a three.
The roots of this plant grow deep into the soil and come back every year.
We used to fill up sacks full of poke greens every spring.
It's the ultimate green vegetable.
Nothing compares yet it's listed as a poisonous plant.
Thank God my dear departed wife got to eat it before she passed away.
That and home grown strawberries.

Exactly right, it's the ultimate green veggie!

Oddly, poke sallet is one of the greens I don't care for much, but many do like it. We prefer some milder greens and love eating game, especially under utilized game.
