A couple of years ago, I coined the term, Kitchen Economics , after I read a dictionary definition of the word "economics" : "the science that deals with the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services, or the material welfare of humankind."

Think of it as the clearance section of the meat department. What You Need to Know about Marked Down Meat: The meat is typically marked down because it is near the use by date or the store has too much of a product and it needs to be cleared out, as was probably the case with the Perdue chickens.

Think of it as the clearance section of the meat department. Record the item, price, unit size, price per unit, store name and date. Buy Marked Down Meat.
