IGA has some of the best deals on meat, there is an IGA where I go for work once a week and I usually drop in and buy steak and chicken if they have the deals on.
Not only that, the meat is better quality than the other two criminal corporations where I NEVER buy meat.
The only other place I get meat is Aldi, Pork mince under $8 a kilo (great for taco's pasta, lasagna, Asian Mince Recipes etc) and I get the burger mince for home made hamburgers.

Yes, but a bit different to just selling stuff at a loss.

They affectionately call our local butcher 'The Rap!$t', and the title is well deserved for his predatory pricing.
I would not believe a word he utters and I do not give him my money.
He has also been known to steal meat when doing kills for local farmers. Local farmers recently discovered that they consistently get an additional 30-40kg of meat per animal when sent to the abattoir than when he processes them.
But all that is getting very off topic.
