He hurts when he sits still and he hurts when he moves around, so to give him a distraction, we drove about an hour to the Tinker Air Force Base to shop.
Their commissary has always had good beef. I’m sure you all know how expensive beef is right now, I haven’t bought any for a while and beef was the main thing on my list.
The Tinker meat department is huge- probably 100 feet or more long.
They sometimes have these discount boxes made up. I’ve bought them before and I remember one time, they made 2 for me,
Anyway, they had 2 made up and I bought them both.
I trust their quality and I’ll just cook whatever is in them.
this box is all beef 
this one is pork and beef 
$74 seems expensive but it was heavy- so I bought it. 
Inside this one was 4 rolls of ground beef, 3 packs of boneless pork, a big pork tenderloin, 2 stew meat and a small beef roast. I added up the price stickers and these would have sold individually for $67.63—-instead of the $55 on the box price tag.
This all beef box had a large ground beef, 4 assorted roasts and 3 more packs of stew meat.
This all beef box had a large ground beef, 4 assorted roasts and 3 more packs of stew meat. They added up to $128.51 —-a huge savings since I paid $77.
If you’re wondering if this meat was past its best date- No, not at all. I shopped on the 12th and this roast was packed on the 11th.

When we got home, I double- bagged some of these packages and put them straight away in the freezer.
I put the ground beef and stew meat in the fridge and I may cook some it before freezing.
I also have some chicken to repackage.
If you have elgibility and access to a military commissary, you might want to see what you can find.
In general, the current prices on most items are similar to civilian stores. I mainly commissary shop for meat. I think all the meat I browsed was lower than current store prices.
I need to get busy. That meat needs to be dealt with.
But I won’t need to shop for meat again for months!
