I was thrilled when I opened the sale flyer and found that it was on sale at my local grocery store for $1.99 a pound! Another tip for saving on beef is to buy when it is a loss leader. Grocery stores will often deeply discount one or two cuts of meat to get you into the store. Stock up during these sales!<\/p>\n<p>I bought 5 1\/2 pounds of top round, which should last my family three meals. That equals $3.68 per meal for meat (for 8 people). A little more than I usually spend, but we get to eat steak, so I am willing to splurge on these meals and save on others.<\/p>\n<p>The recipe from the website is called <a target = \"_blank\"
