Here's another tip: Become fans of your local grocery stores on Facebook/Twitter.
I stopped by a local Whole Foods, and they had ground beef for the absurdly low price of $1.99 a pound. It's usually $7.99 a pound. That's a great price for even non-grass fed beef! Plus I got some grass fed beef fat for $1 a lb.
When you're getting custom orders, don't forget to tip the butcher after, get his name and introduce yourself. The last guy you want as an enemy is the man providing your meat. After I tipped my guy $5 on a $10 order, he gave me some intel about great deals and saving money. He told me to check the facebook page of the store, and lo and behold, the special is on there, plus a bunch of others.
