Get ready! Friday, September 7th, Whole Foods Market is having an awesome sale on grass-fed beef! All U.S. stores will have grass-fed ground beef on sale $4.99/lb. (10 lb limit per customer.) I will remind you all of this sale once we get closer to the 7th.
Grass fed beef facts: Grass-fed beef is a leaner choice than grain-fed, and it has a more favorable ratio of omega fatty acids. Since it’s lower in fat, grass-fed beef runs the risk of drying out or becoming overcooked more quickly than grain-finished beef. Below are some recommended cooking tips from Whole Foods Market butchers:
- Don’t cook grass-fed beef cold; it is best when removed from the refrigerator 15 minutes or so prior to cooking.
- When cooking on the grill, let the flames burn down more than is recommended for other meat. Also, it doesn’t need as much cooking time.
- When cooking in the oven, lower the oven’s cooking temperature by about 25°F, and the cooking time will stay about the same.
- Always use tongs, never a fork, to turn your beef; don’t press or flatten during cooking in order to retain precious juices.

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
