For today's Tightwad Tuesday, hosted by Canadagirl, I would like to share with you about how we save money buying meat. If we have the option, we like to buy into a steer that is organic or grass-fed. We buy a quarter or half a steer for a set price then when it is butchered we get that meat. Since we've been on the mountain, my husband hunts elk and deer, which he processes himself. When we have to buy meat at the store, we buy in bulk and I separate it at home into the portions that I would probably need to cook, before I freeze it. That way I only have to thaw the amount I need.
Sorry, still no pics. My baby got his hair buzzed by daddy and I have before and after shots. It is very dramatic. Hopefully we can figure out a way to get our new computer to download them. It is not recognizing its own hard drives. Very frustrating! On another computer note, I was out of internet for several days because the snow on the roof slid off and sheered the bolts holding the dish onto the roof right off!
I am sooooooo glad you are back !!! Yes, getting a half a cow is good but I sure wish J was more into hunting. He has the lisence but no hunting going on. ]0= Luke is really intrested so maybe it will happen in a year or two. [0=
Hi Carol! We like to raise our own beef (on my in-laws farm.) We have also raised our own pig, but the kids and I were not impressed with the taste. No more pig for us! Ha!
Hope you have a wonderful day,
Pam
That is a very economical way to save on groceries. Our 17 yr. old chest freezer dead this past weekend and we have been debating about whether to replace it as we are empty nester now. Happy Valentine's Day!

We also buy steers, we actually got one and raised it for about 3 months in our back yard, the funny part is that we live in the city. The calf had to go once he tried climbing the fence and getting into the pool. Thanks for sharing, stop by my blog sometime. Can I add you as a friend?
One thing have I desired of the Lord that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. To behold the beauty, the beauty of the Lord. To inquire in His temple, the temple of the Lord.
This is my everyday thoughts about being a mother to three little ladies (12, 10 and 5) and a three year old son. We serve God full-time, and I am a physician assistant. I have the most awesome husband in the world. I am trying to seek and serve God with all my heart, all my soul, all my mind and all my strength.
