That's one of the things I never seen at Publix. A "save more" or
"marked down" or, as it is euphemistically called on RFC, the "used
meat" bin.

I like to look at what they actually have to offer before I add it to my
list. So I've looked online and decided which cuts. I can always
change my mind. Of course I want to get the best price. Just because
it's on the list doesn't mean I have to buy it.
