Yeah, I have been thinking of tracking down a local butcher but have yet to do it. Mainly I have been hoping to get fresh organ meat but bones are not a bad idea either. Some bone broth would probably be good for my aging dogs.
I have considered doing some 'dumpster diving' but where I shop at has the dumpster locked down rather tightly... and also I am always getting rides from other people and usually on a tight time schedule to boot.
