Meat

We have been comparison shopping for meat.  We generally don't do that.  We either buy at Costco or HEB.  With the price of meat now being off the charts we are being much more diligent in prices trying to get the best deals.  Hamburger is our biggest meat intake.  Mainly due to the cost of everything else.  Bacon is now of the buy list.  We always bought the bulks packs of bacon at Costco.  Those packs are now 20.99 for 5 lbs.  That is over the limit for me.  No can do.  Breakfasts will be even more sparse now.  We may have some pan sausage on occasion or a left over pork chop.  I mentioned the last time there was a new meat market near us we would try.  Well it wasn't a meat market.  It is a Mexican market that has a little meat. Not much else.  I did buy 2 lbs of stew meat.  There is another Meat/Mexican market near us I thought we could try.  We scored, it's a real meat market.  4 lbs hamburger 80/20 for 6.99.  That's not per pound that's 4lbs for 7$.  A few pork chops and I even picked up a couple bone in rib eyes 6.99/lb because 'K' wanted some.  It wasn't hard to convince me.  We will probably make this a regular stop.  Oh and the steaks will hit the grill tonight.

We found a dog groomer very near us and gave them a try with Snickers.  He doesn't need much grooming.  However, he will not let us trim his nails.  Also that shag he has grows in front of his eyes is difficult to get to for us, he hates us messing with it.  So she cleaned all that up and his undercarriage and he has some sort of cologne on.  She asked if he had been skunked recently lol.  So she added a heavier scent to mask it.  We generally don't smell his skunking, until he gets wet or we bathe him.  Whew, still after all this time it gets pretty strong.  They were very reasonably priced so this may become a regular thing for the little guy.

I gotta prep the steaks and grill.
