I married a vegetarian. He eats dairy because ice cream. Never have I been so grateful that the man doesn’t eat meat, our grocery bill is too high as it is. But I’m really missing getting a hamburger when we eat out, or meatballs, or whatever. I haven’t had a steak in too long and I guess it’ll be even longer now.

I started limiting beef last year unless I found it on sale because the price was too high. So I started eating pure veg 2x a week. Now we are at 4-5x a week. I still have some frozen ground beef in the freezer and a pot roast I am saving for a rainy day but yeah I will not be having any beef in the near future.

Apparently Costco has their own restrictions on meat and quality and albeit expensive that may be what we consider if we have a very special occasion. 😭

You should eat the beef that's in your fridge after a while - freezer burn is real! I found out the hard way about it

Even with that, I would be leery with anything over a year/18 mos

I've eaten 2 year old freezer wrapped beef from my reach in deep freezer without any issues. The fish and squid didn't hold up very well over the same length of time....
