Save Money on Meat

More and more towns are getting “carnecerias”, which are shops that sell meat to the local Hispanic population. Our town has two of them, and the meat is both tastier and cheaper than at the local supermarket. For example, the taco meat is comprised of what is left over from cutting other meat. That means that quite a bit of it is sirloin! It is muy yummy! I just got back from buying a pound of it for less than three dollars. Since there’s not a whole lot of fat in it, we get our money’s worth, as it feeds my boys and I a hefty meal once I add tortillas, beans and rice. Did I mention that tortillas, beans and rice are also inexpensive? This happens to be my boy’s favorite meal!
