I am the greatest hunter EVER
K, not really but dont tell the dogs
Went to the grocery store again today ( another one) this time for people food. And I thought to myself " self, it doesnt hurt to ask" So i went to see the butcher and Iwalked out of there with.... atleast 40lbs of meat FREE too! It was alot of work once i got home though, sifting through the discusting box of the butchers "oops" cuts and whatnot. There was everything you could think of ( well not really but you know what i mean) After 3 hours of sifting and cutting I ended up with 4 Five gallon buckets of meat.. and 6 grocery bags of RMB's !!! The freezer is now FULL and I have to take a break from my treasure hunts for a while This butcher said that there is a guy who feeds his sled dogs raw and takes the "left overs" ( some of that was really good meat) during the week. So i can have the weekends. Im not greedy so I said "Every second saturday I will come in" Gotta get another freezer i think...Or convince some others to feed raw in my area. Im not sure now if I cancel the beavers ( prolly will) or what I am going to do with all the bones from the cows? IM in over my head! lol

Can I send my dog over to your place for dinner?
Good job! I think you have inspired me to do the same. Next time I'm at the supermarket I will ask too. What's the worst that can happen? Maybe they'll slap me silly with a flank steak

Yeah, I'd like to know too.... 'Hey, got any free crap that no else'll eat?' just doesn't sound right

I picked up some chicken legs with backs attached ( really cheap as usual) and it was the last "bit" of it so it started off as asking for more of that.
I just said, " Hi, I was wondering if you had any more chicken backs or other scrap meat" and it resulted in.... "Is this good? whats it for?" So it was a great convo. I was concerned about it being expired meat and she said " No, we put that in this box daily" (and showed me a big bin in the freezer) But yeah, she went through a bit of the meat to show me that it wasnt horrid. There was lots of skin and other useless stuff in there too, which is why i had to go through it all, but really who cares when it a deal like that!?!?! I think it really helped that we talked for a while about why i was feeding raw and how I do it ( I think she has dogs too, not sure) but she was really intersted in it thats for sure. Im not usually an asker either, but really what is the worst that can happen?? " No sorry we dont do that?" thats not that bad right! Ask away !!!! Good luck

dang!! i go to the asian markets (being vietnamese and all) and it doesn't look like there is any part of the animals that doesn't get sold (yes we eat EVERYTHING) but the bright side is I get chicken hearts and livers for only 5.99 a pound, kinda expensive but you aren't gonna find those things at Costco
