Do you eat a lot of beef in your home? About This Page:

Beef prices are already high and according to the news this morning, will still be going higher! Does your family eat a lot of beef? DH and I have really cut back on the amount of beef we eat over the years. However, I think I may be stocking up a bit more if and when a good sale comes along for sirloin steaks and ground beef over the next few weeks. We are lucky as we have a big freezer and one of those handy "Food Savers" gadgets so we can buy larger amounts of beef and then separate into smaller packages.

Yes we eat a lot of beef. Probably at least twice a week. I guess I'll have to pay more attention to the sales now!

No, we don't eat a lot of red meat.... I mostly cook with chicken or turky. Years ago, I switched over..... things like spaghetti or taco's; I use ground chicken or ground turkey- whichever is on sale each week usually.... I cook fish a fair amount also... I still prefer beef burgers and I still make meatloaf with ground beef; but those are both things that I only make seldomly.... I'd say we eat beef only once or twice per month..... and some months not at all....

Hmmm. Making our vague notion of shopping for our meat in bulk at BJ's much more attractive. Get it home, repackage into one-pound-ish portions, and freeze. Poof.

Which means we may need to move our butts about getting a chest-style freezer ...

We eat a fair amount of beef, but seldom as a steak or a roast-usually in a stir fry, fajita or pasta dish. I buy it when it's on sale and when it's cheaper than chicken breasts.

Yep, we do eat beef but not as much as chicken or pork. As ground meat, we use half beef/half pork. I'm not a big fan of most ground meet dishes, though (sloppy joes and hamburgers being the notable exceptions!). Other than that, we rarely eat beef. I love steaks at restaurants, though! In general, I've tried to cut back on my meat consumption lately, though.

Haven't heard about prices for beef going up over here Did they give a reason why?

[Tink and co.]

We do eat beef a couple of times a week. I used to use ground turkey instead, but ground beef is about $2 a pound cheaper, so we went back to beef. My family is pretty much carnivores. They'd live on steak and roasts with an occasional burger thrown in if they had their way.

You know, I was thinking we did eat beef quite a bit, but then when I started thinking back to what dishes we'd had over the last few weeks, it seems like lately we've only eaten beef 2-3 times a month. I think we go in spurts though, because our Publix has fresh chicken breasts on sale really cheap ($1.99/lb) about once a month, so I usually stock up on those....then we have so much chicken I feel like I need to use it (even though I freeze most of it and it would keep longer). I usually get to the frozen beef once we've gone through the chicken but the next chicken sale hasn't happened yet. LOL.

We do. DH doesn't believe having chicken more than 2 times a week is for him, so it's beef at least 3-4 times a week.
We buy everything when it's on sale, freezer wrap it, and use it as we need it. We'll be looking for more sales on beef.

I was trying to think of the last time I cooked beef at home and I can't even come up with it. We eat chicken and fish more than beef and do alot of meatless meals

We are farmers and raise and sell freezer beef. We always have beef in the freezer. We eat it about 3 times a week, this week we had flounder, salmon, pork chops, hamburgers and steak. I try to mix it up every week.

[lexiemom]

We usually have beef about twice a week. DH comes from a family of cattle farmers, so we can get beef for cheaper than buying it in the store.
