How to Buy Grass-Fed Beef Without Breaking Your Budget

How to Buy Grass-Fed Beef Without Breaking Your Budget

As of this writing, grocery prices have nearly doubled in some stores. Now, more than ever, it’s important to watch your family’s bottom line.

Can grass-fed beef still be a part of your family’s food budget?

You bet it can! With a few simple adjustments, grass-fed beef can be an exceptional, economical choice.

Here are a few things to consider.

Smaller Portions

Grass-fed beef is a lot more filling than grain-fed beef. So a pound of grass-fed beef can stretch a lot farther than it’s grain-filled cousin, while leaving your family feeling just as fulfilled.

Think about making dishes where they won’t feel the shift, such as tacos, fajitas, soups, and stews. With a little creativity, your family won’t even notice that you’re using less beef.

Economical Cuts

You probably already eat ground beef, which is the most economical cut of beef. But here are a few others:

  • Chuck Steak
  • Brisket
  • Flat-iron Steak
  • Skirt Steak
  • Shoulder Tender

Don’t forget to think about reaching back into your grandmother’s era, too. Organ meat may give you pause, but it’s incredibly filling and tasty when cooked correctly. Don’t knock it till you try it! And as we’ve said before, if you’ve been to any of Houston’s excellent pho shops, or any taco stand that serves barbacoa, you’ve probably already tried it without realizing it.

Buying in Bulk

While the up-front cost is higher, buying in bulk is one of the easiest ways to save your family money. The average savings comes out to around $2 per pound, and you’ve secured your beef at the going rate for a month or even more, depending on your freezer size and the size of your purchase.

If you’re really strapped for cash or space, you can go in on the order with a neighbor, family member, or friend, so that everyone can benefit.

And the peace of mind you’ll feel knowing you have a real stockpile can help you feel a little bit safer in the face of economic turbulence.
