Our grocery stores all have aweful meat. I have a 2 stores in every direction that are between 15-20 miles away and you CANNOT get good meat in any of them. For example, their hamburger, it will look sort of red on the outside. But you can bring it home, open it immediately and the inside is solid brown. Absolutely gross!

On the way back from a trip I stopped at a store that's 40 miles away from home and happened to see their meat department. I had no idea that meat could be so red!!! I bought about $50 worth of meat that day and ever since, I've been making an 80 mile round trip each month for meat.

Do you drive a great distance just for better food???

Can't find buccatini here - so I drive to the next state (120 miles) to buy it.

Can't find perciatelli either - so I drive 2 counties over (60 miles) to buy it.

Also - I like all beef hotdogs - BIG ones - drive to the next state for that as well.

Most of my meats are purchased in the next county - 1 1/2 ride.

Is there a support group for us???

Our local store is pretty good, but we have to drive about 30 miles for good seafood.

I have not the slightest idea what perciatelli & buccatini are. LOL And LMBO at the support group idea.

Glad to see some posts here. Happy to hear I'm not the only one!
