I had that grocery-budget problem, too. I solved it by biting the bullet and paying more for grass fed meat for one week to try it out. The brand I found was Coleman. They have beef, chicken, pork, lamb and possibly other types of meat, too. I paid a little over $5 per lb. for the beef and $3 or $4 per lb. for the chicken. However, I was very satisfied because the meat tastes better and I actually eat less of it for some reason. So I don't have to buy as much meat. Cheaper isn't always the best way to go, as I've discovered. Thanks for your ears. I cannot find *any* meat under $2.50 per pound and that is frozen chicken at Sam's club. Jim Cales >
