He was hired by a new company that did mobile butchering and customs meat cutting. Here is where his meat-cutting career started. After 3 years of custom meat cutting, Jeff began working for Safeway then moved on to a regional supermarket chain with stores in Idaho, Washington, and Montana.In between his meat cutting career, Jeff started a small Montana Made mail order catalog business and then he and 2 friends started a company called Amazing Grains. This company developed a system to oil roast grains and legumes as snack food items. Great product, however, the timing and lack of capital put Jeff back into the meat cutting business.After 35 plus years of cutting meat for national and regional supermarkets, Jeff decided to share his knowledge and show people how to shop meat departments more wisely and get better products at a much better price.The meat industry is changing very rapidly and with change comes new regulations and labeling laws.

The First Key to getting the freshest product at the best price
Ok, let get started on our journey with what I believe is the 1st of two things a Smart meat department shopper must do.
First I suggest that you shop for your meat and seafood at the grocery store in your community that does the most business. I say this for several reasons. First, a meat department which does the most business, normally will have the freshest meat and seafood. They will sell the product they bring in faster. The lower volume store normally has their products hanging around longer, thus you end up with older meat, chicken, and seafood. From my 30 plus years in the business, this usually means that lots of products have been reworked or repackaged and re-dated.
I have worked in both types of Meat Departments. Currently, I work at a high volume grocery store. We have several national chains near us, but we have the largest sales volume in our community. We receive three fresh meat and seafood deliveries per week. Most of the smaller volume stores receive only two deliveries per week. Fewer deliveries normally mean older products.
Secondly, higher volume stores normally will have more help and offer more services to their customers. I would find a store which has a Full-Service Counter
. This is a clear glass meat and seafood counter which is filled daily with new and fresh products. You are waited on by an on-duty meat cutter or a customer service counter person. If want 1⁄2 pound of fresh ground beef or 5 lbs., it is weighted up and individually wrapped for you. Whatever you want is taken care of fresh, out of the case as you wait.
The meat department that I am currently working in has a Full-Service meat case. All the meat, pork and poultry is cut or prepare fresh daily. Everything in the seafood case is completely reworked each day to check for freshness and quality. This case is where you would normally get the freshest product.
