What 2 Butchers Think All Shoppers Need to Know Before Buying Meat at the Grocery Store

Plus, the secret to buying the best-tasting salmon, according to a fishmonger.

As your resident grocery experts, we can confidently say the smartest shopping tips come from the employees inside the store.  Swinging by for a quick chat or even just to say "Hello!" is the easiest way to get to know the people in the aisles, behind the counters, and at checkout. These small conversations can lead to secret shopping tips, unadvertised deals, and tricks that just make your shopping experience easier. Plus, it'll make the entire experience feel more like a community ritual rather than another errand. The next time you're at the store, ask one butcher, cashier, produce manager, or stock clerk a question — even if it's simply "How are you?" You'll be surprised how much a single conversation can change the way you shop.
