in my experience it’s usually a middle-aged white man who talks too loudly.

there’s a butcher i go to in [unnamed snooty nj suburb] where i have seen people drop that much and MORE on what amounts to way too little meat. most times, they fit the description above.

My husband and I shop at the local butcher. We spend between $40 and $80 every two weeks on meat and a couple odds and ends we can only buy there. Spices, vegetables, fruits and brands big box stores don’t carry, usually. If you’re getting good cuts, it’s not difficult to drop $67.30 at a meat market.

Um…a couple on the Atkins or South Beach Diet who has a freezer and actually does all of their weekly shopping in one trip?

Methinks someone is trying to buy his way into heaven, albeit Meat Heaven.

Not only dropping $67 on meat, but paying in cash!

When Philip’s father was visiting, he bought grass-fed filet mignon from Whole Food’s grocery store to cook up for himself, Philip and Philip’s brother Alex (I ate something else) and paid $100.00 on meat. We hardly ever buy meat, so I was astounded to see it cost so much.

Looking at the date it seems somebody was preparing for an upcoming Memorial Day picnic,backyard cook out or something to that effect.I could see if you have a large gathering, and a number of young people ,and or healthy adult males,it would be easy to send this much money on decent meat.

that sure is very random. You could spend $27.55 on a few steaks or a good sized roast.

I love finding random things like this! Don’t think I would have given it as much thought as you did, but I would have probably stuck it to my fridge with a magnet.

I recently found a bit of unintentional poetry on the back of an airline ticket stub. Apparently most tickets have some such statement, but most people don’t view it as poetic. I do. It said something like, “Save this document as evidence of your journey.”

I spend almost that much on meat. Sadly, I've become a total glutton for all pastured meat from Marin Sun Farms and it isn't cheap stuff.
