Beef: It's What's for Dinner

This morning, after dropping my older child off for camp, the younger one and I went to the grocery store to buy ingredients for dinner.

It's Thursday, which is one of the days when the fishmonger receives a fresh shipment, so I was thinking salmon or tilapia. But as soon as I arrived I saw a big sign announcing "(all natural) New York Strip Steaks, $8.99/lb!". That's a savings of $8/lb at this store. I love days like this. So I bought enough for two dinners and put half of it in the freezer. We're having steak tonight.

My husband later asked me what I'm making for dinner, so I told him about the special. That's when he mentioned this article that I'd overlooked in the Wall Street Journal. Turns out, due to a drop off in restaurant demand caused by the economic downturn, you can find prime beef many places at compelling prices, including at Costco - I'll have to check it out.
