Weekly Meal Deal: Multiple Meals, 1 Quick Trip, Super simple!
This morning I hit up Publix. I saw in the sale that “Whole Bottom Rounds” were $1.99/lb. I had a feeling that it was going to be like the Whole Pork Loin; HUGE! I was right! These things are massive; 15 lbs to be exact. So, I walked down the meat counter to where the smaller roasts were $2.69/lb. My wheels started turning, What if I showed you how to save $0.70/lb. and make 5 + meals?! I think that would count as saving you time and money in the kitchen and at the store. 
Let’s do it!
First things first, Publix has a sign up that says they will cut the Whole Bottom Round for you! Thank goodness! So, I picked one that was almost 15 lbs. exactly. I had them cut it into 5 almost equal pieces. That is 5 (3 lb) roasts that will be perfect for dinners. You could also have them grind some to get some really cheap ground beef. I try to never pay more than $1.99/lb for ground beef. There is always a sale somewhere, and it doesn’t take up that much space, even if you have a small freezer.
I take advantage of whatever services grocery stores offer for free. Publix is very customer friendly! They don’t mind doing this for you at all! I suggest hitting the meat department first and telling them how you want it cut, then doing the rest of your shopping, and stop back for your meat! I don’t really understand how they can charge you $0.70 a pound more for cutting it when they offer to cut it for free! Still trying to figure that one out!
Just as a heads up. I stopped by the deli and was going to get some roast beef for sandwiches $9/lb! Highway robbery. I can tell you right now that one of these roasts will be cooked and sliced for sandwiches. I like $1.99/lb much better! I wish I had one of those fancy meat slicers! That would make it much easier!
So, what to do with all of that beef! That is easy here are some fantastic meal ideas for you…with photos of course. Click on the name of the meal to see the post with full instructions.
My personal favorite is to throw one of these roasts in the crock-pot all day with some salt and pepper. Then about 30 minutes before you are ready to serve shred it with a fork and toss some BBQ sauce in! It makes a mean BBQ Sandwich!
Savory Beef Stew (Cut some beef into chunks!)
Crock Pot Roast with Mushroom Gravy
Meat and Bean Burritos (So Easy and Delicious!)
Ground Beef OptionsThis is a super idea to really stretch your dollar! If you have all of the meat turned into ground beef you will end up with enough for 15 meals! That is amazing! Oh, I have a gazillion recipes for ground beef! Here are just a few…
So, I just gave you Nine Meal ideas for your Whole Bottom Round. They are all super simple, family friendly, and low cost. So, don’t be discouraged when you see such a large cut of meat! Just think of the possibilities! That $30 hunk of meat could in reality make 15 meals easily! That is a huge savings of your time, and money. That is a great stockpile builder so you don’t have to purchase meat again next week.

Reader tip: Allegiant Air a good deal?
Silenus81/Flickr
Reader Aimee recently shared a tip about a newish low-budget air carrier called Allegiant Air. They specialize in flying from major cities to a lot of little ones. I’ve never flown Allegiant and am curious if it is a good deal. Aimee said:
I just wanted to let you know about this crazy Airline. They have airfare for like $15 each way. You just have to fly on specific dates and they only fly to certain locations but it is totally a fun way to travel and see parts of America for cheap.
I am not affiliated with the airline. My brother flies it with his wife regularly to Vegas. He’s mentioned the cheap airfair and that it is just like a regular airline. I have not flown it yet but I’m looking to soon.
Have you flown Allegiant Air? Are the low prices the real deal – or is the supply limited? Do high fees offset the super low base fares?

Sponsored: coupons plus cash rebates
There are so many coupon sites that it’s hard to distinguish one from another. CouponCactus.com, however, is worth taking a look at. The site combines coupons with automatic cash rebates based on your purchase total. It’s the best of eBates and RetailmeNot!
The amount of discount information on the CouponCactus.com is staggering. The site has tabs for free shipping coupons, coupons that expire soon, new coupons, coupons with the biggest discount, the most popular discounts, and exclusive coupons. Plus, you can search for coupons by category or store name (there are 3,600). Phew! That’s a lot of online coupons.
For each discount, the site lists the percentage cash rebate, the expiration date, and has a link to restrictions, if any. You can share each coupon via buttons for Facebook, Twitter, and email. When you shop using links on CouponCactus.com, the coupon discount will be deducted from your purchase – although sometimes you will need to plug in the coupon code yourself. Double check your tab before clicking purchase. The automatic cash rebate takes a little longer to arrive.
Coupon Cactus pays out via check or Paypal each quarter. So the money you save now won’t be in your account for about 120 days. You must have at least $10 in cash back rewards for CouponCactus.com to send you a check.

Yoplait Greek Yogurt Save $0.30 Printable Coupon
I love this returning coupon (print twice) to Save $0.30 on one Yoplait Greek Yogurt (click on “Food” then scroll thru Coupons.com) because my Kroger store triples it for $0.90 off my $1.10 yogurt making it cost only 20 cents a cup. Not all stores double or triple coupons, so find out what your store’s policy is. This coupon does say “Do Not Double or Triple” but some stores will still double or triple it. And if you find any that are near their expiration date like I did today – they should be marked down (49 cents each at my store). Please share your yogurt deals by leaving a comment!
