I’m guessing… his patience is about to run out

You try and get rid of it before it passes expiration.

As it nears expiration date it moved to the “Reduced” section where a smart buyer can pick up some incredible steaks for a fraction of what they would have cost the day before… And everyone will see some cuts of meat that no one will want at any price.

Last year’s calendar.

Boar’s Head.

All of it, from the perspective of the animals.

Check with Awful’s.

Looks like Butchie from Mutts.

Butcher – “Everything in the dumpster. Ew we, is it ripe too”

Ick.

You’ll be going to the bathroom for days. You better bring a paper with you.

Love the smile on Atilla’s face.

They’re only trying to be helpful.

expiration dates are just a guideline, only a fool throws it out without making sure its bad

Reminds me of an old joke about gypsies.

A gypsy walks into a cake shop, and asks “how much is the cake?”

- insert appropriate price for your country here -

“That’s too expensive, how much for the crumbs?”

“Well, we don’t really charge for the crumbs.”

“Good, then squish three cakes into crumbs for me, please.”

I have seen some videos on you tube where the guy ages the meat for 90 days in something he calls an ager. I have to get one of those.

hmm… lemme go ask the head cheese….

In 1972, at Carnegie Hall, Groucho Marx told this hilarious story about a childhood crush he had on a girl named Anna Berger who lived directly above him: Every day his mother would give him a nickel to buy fresh bread, but he would the the day-old bread for four cents instead and keep the extra penny. At the end of a month he 30 cents all saved up for a date with Anna: Five cents each for a ride to a movie, five cents for the movie, and five cents for the ride back home. But he didn’t know that Anna would want cotton candy, which was also five cents, so at the end of the movie he only had five cents left. He said, “I’m going to toss this coin up the air and I want you to call heads or tails.” She called heads, it came up tails, he rode home, she walked home (he didn’t say how far), and he didn’t see her again for fifteen years.
