Recently, I caught up with Teri Gault, founder of the TheGroceryGame.com, to find out what's going on. Teri and her TGG crew closely monitor national food prices on a daily basis, so they're my go-to source for all things related to the cost of food. But more than that, Teri has great ideas for how to overcome this kind of unhappy news so we can afford to keep our grills fired up this summer. It's a problem of supply and the environment, reports Teri. The U.S. cattle herd is at its lowest level since 1952. Cattle producers have been hard hit by drought, late freezing weather, doubling of feed costs and poor pasture conditions. Supplies are down, which drives prices up both at the grocery store and restaurants, too. But not to worry. Teri says that overcoming the high cost of beef is a matter of changing our thinking, habits and behaviors. STOCK UP ON SALES. Review the front page of store circulars for weekly specials -- often as much as 50 to 67 percent off the original price. Instead of buying a variety of meats at full price, buy multiple cuts of one or two types of meat on sale and freeze for later use. SLOW COOK CHEAP CUTS. Slow cooking cheap cuts of beef too much red meat, and I suspect like tri-tip, chuck and flank there's something to that. But as an steak turns them as tender as alternative to going vegetarian, conT-bones, but for a lot less sider ways to serve less meat and more vegetables. Think of money. And when meat as an accompaniment the cheap cuts are rather than the main attracon sale? That's a tion in a meal. Meat sauce double-whammy that over pasta is a great example, will make beef as cheap as too, of how you can use meat chicken.
