What grocery store have you found to sell the best meat?

[jeidson]

A long time ago I joined Sam's Club. I was curious more than anything. I was very pleased with te quality and taste of their meats, pork, beef, chicken and sausages. I still go there and have never been disappointed.

[tomsawyer]

As a native Floridian, I'm happy to see Publix got the recognition it deserves🙏🏻

[kamilegier]

I think when we moved away from individual stores and markets to the large corporate all in one supermarkets quality suffered. Going to a bakery, butcher, a green grocer, a farmer’s market, or produce market yielded the best foods.

As a lifelong Floridian, i not only worked for Publix for 15 yrs, i still shop almost exclusively with them. Prices may be a bit higher than other stores, but cleanliness & customer service is worth the higher price for me! Sprouts is also a favorite mainly because of their organic meats.

just wanna add that WinCo foods is another place to buy good meat, my family buys beef and chicken there every month and we are never disapointed

[jamesmiculka]

Thanks for leaving off H-E-B. We Texans want to keep this outstanding grocery store to ourselves here in Texas. The meat section and selection is numero uno to any grocery store chain in the nation. Customer service is remarkable as well as the H-E-B experience and no two stores are the same since they are based on neighborhood location. H-E-B keeps getting recognized as the number one grocery chain in the nation and Texas proud. Thanks again for keeping the number grocery and meat market off your radar!

The meat counter at the Safeway near me is great! Prepackaged is just average but always enjoy what we get from the case.

[tacogaming]

I work in the meat department of jewel(which is under safeway) I can absolutely say that we have the best quality meat of any other store that I have visited

[jimdellavecchia]

I live in South NJ and Wegman's, while not the cheapest, always has excellent steaks. Splurge and treat yourself, you will be happy!!! You get what you pay for

Totally in agreement with target, Trader Joe’s and Walmart having terrible meat quality, but I have to disagree with Safeway. I’ve never had issues finding good quality cuts at my local store. Safeway should not be anywhere near the same category as those other ‘worst’ stores

[sujoudza]

I used to work at Target and I had absolutely no faith in the grocery team. If it wasn’t a pantry item (and I ALWAYS checked the expiration date), I wasn’t buying it.

[jasontiver]

I would never buy meat from Walmart. In fact, if possible, I avoid Walmart. Over the years, Wamart has gone down hill.

[winston]

I was pleased to see that Publix Greenwise scallops list scallops as the only ingredient. No tri-poly-phosphate.

[roxannerodriguez]

Whoever added the little cartoons and movie scenes to this video did a great job!! 😂😂😂

Best quality of meat I’ve bought has been at Costco’s and Stater Bros. Miss California.

[ramonar]

We just bought a roast at Tops & I cut it into steaks. It didn't have much fat & it was delicious. I chopped some leftover steak in my food processor, added chopped onion, sweet relish & mayonnaise for sandwiches. With a cup of coffee the sandwiches made a great supper with fried potatoes. I still have plenty left for vegetable beef soup.

[ben-jammin]

Wegmans meat is delicious. I especially love their center cut pork chops cooked on the grill. One of my favorite meals. Their chicken breast and hamburger is also very good. It is by far my favorite store to buy meat.

[Publiclighthouse]

Before their Amazon merger, a Whole Foods butcher told me that their 365 chicken was the same chicken used by Mary’s (a great quality), just rebranded. I’m not sure if that’s changed. Also, none of Costco’s meats are grass-fed, organic or otherwise. A Costco butcher told me it was because it just wasn’t selling as fast as the normal meat. Bummer.

[Shadowcu]

I get my meat straight from the local farm or slaughterhouse can’t get any fresher than that! Plus, you support local small owned businesses!
