For anyone in northeastern NC and southeastern VA, there is a small grocery store called Family Foods in the town of Gates in Gates County, NC. They have meat sales all the time, and they are currently having one. Go to their website (https://www.familyfoodsgates.com/), and you can sign up to get their sales papers sent to you by email.

The last time I went there, I got a shopping cart full of whole pork loins for $1.99 a pound. The butcher cut them up into chops for free. It will be many months before I need more. They have similar deals on beef and chicken. They also have some canned vegetables for less than 50 cents. It's a small store, so a lot of the other items are more expensive than at larger stores.

Got meat? I do.
