Groceries/Bulk Buying

[Zaz]

Hi guys,
New Hammer resident here -- I hope everyone is doing fine, weathering the recession OK.

We recently bought a house and it came with this big chest freezer in the basement. So we thought we might as well use it for something. Does anyone here buy meat in bulk from a local farmer, like beef or lamb? Does it make sense financially?

In general, any preferences on grocery stores, in terms of price/selection/quality?

Thanks, and good to be here!
