Money-Saving Tips from 'Confessions of a Butcher'
Get Rich Slowly reviews Confessions of a Butcher, which sounds like a great book to consult if you want to save money on grocery bills. It's packed with insider info: "In a blue-collar meat and potatoes kind of neighborhood, lamb is not a regular part of the diet, but the local supermarket still has to carry a lamb lineup. In these types of stores, you may find legs of lamb and the like reduced to sell."

Reduced to sell because it's approaching its expiration date? Um, no thanks.

Get Rich Slowly is the last place anyone reason this site should look to for food related advice, unless he's advocating farming or something similar. But budget shopping meat? Yuck.

Did you read the article, @alktraz? The suggestions are good, particularly for people who aren't used to dealing with a butcher. As for the reduced lamb, I think that's a good tip. Approaching expiration doesn't mean "bad" - it's all a function of how quickly you're going to cook it. I wouldn't buy the book, but it has good points.
