The W Republic store has manager markdowns for near expiry day meats. You never know what will come up, but if you are in the area and more ideally have a deep freeze, you can get some deals. Other stores tend to not do any markdowns for some reason.

I recently visited FoodForLess. Seemed like most products were close to slightly more than WM…some variety of things if you like to explore. Tons of meat at competitive prices. I did a dive into FFL and the only stores in the area for FFL seem to be SGF and Joplin locally. How Pricecutter is still the outlier for prices is beyond me…got to be a shit business model. I still see people with entire carts of stuff paying an average of 15-40% more though.
