21 Most Common Grocery Store Mistakes
17. Being Careless About Your Meat
Buying meat is perhaps the most sensitive part of all grocery shopping. With vegetables and fruit you check if it is fresh and if it is, you buy it. With meat you got all the different animals, cuts and quality categorizations. For someone who is not that interested in what they eat and how they cook, it can feel almost too much trouble at times.
This is a big mistake and it really pays off to be careful and smart about buying meat. For instance, “prime” cuts are not necessarily the best for your health. Lean cuts that come under the “choice” or “select” cuts will be far healthier for you.
Also, you should talk to the grocery store staff about some less popular cuts that you might now know about. It is also a good idea to brush up on your meat knowledge before you next shopping trip.
