Today, my dad will be picking up and delivering 542 pounds of meat to Fearless Fitness to be picked up by our cowpooling investors. The challenge is trying to get as many of the investors at Fearless as quickly as possible to pick up there 77 pounds of meat. We have a regular sized refrigerator at Fearless, but I don't think it's going to be big enough to house that much beef. In actuality, I have no idea what 542 pounds of meat is going to look like, but I am very excited to find out!
The true test of this entire project will be this weekend when we have an opportunity to taste the meat. From the start, we have called this project a "Culinary Adventure". What is most important is the flavor and quality of the beef.
Being Budget Savvy isn't about being cheap. It's about saving money on the things that are not as important to you so you can afford to spend money on the things that are important to you. In the case of the seven investors in this project, the enjoyment of food is very important and something that we are willing to spend money on. That said, if the final price per pound is less than what we would pay at the grocery store - well, that's just freakin' awesome!
So, what was the final price per pound that we paid? I'll tell you that as well as give you a taste report on Monday.
