It’s a visual turnoff, Dan.

Brown beef is the best-tasting. Ask any butcher.

I don’t but buy the meat that’s turning colors either, OJ. As long as it still looks good, I’m okay with it.

OtherJohn, isn’t it funny the way our parents shopping habits impact our own. There are things I buy in vast bulk, like toilet paper, because my parents would buy 2 rolls at a time and we were ALWAYS out, and it was so unnecessary as it doesn’t go bad.

I frequently buy the mark-down meat at Kroger…but not if the color is turning. I had enough of that when I was growing up, and the funky smell and taste of the meat because my dad was too cheap to buy stuff that wasn’t already half spoiled.

I do buy marked down meats at Kroger and either freeze it or cook it that day.

“I recon that’s all the aging/drying it gets.”

You might be right about that, John.

“And the brown beef is the best deal (and best tasting meat) in Kroger!”

I recon that’s all the aging/drying it gets.

I could go for a good steak tomorrow.

“On comments regarding shrink, it is not shrink unless a store throws it away and nobody buys it to go through the register. Savvy retailers will mark down perishable items to sell at a reduced cost, mostly Kroger and in some instances Food Lion, mostly with meats.Usually done in a cyclical fashion which again allows discounts to a well informed shopper.”

Mike3, stolen merchandise, which you didn’t address, counts toward shrink. And the brown beef is the best deal (and best tasting meat) in Kroger!

From Ruskin-There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man’s lawful prey.
