All of that has changed. I won't venture to say why, but know that we no longer frequent butcher shops or meat markets. Instead we tolerate the limited selections provided to us by our local chain grocery stores. We no longer truly know where our meat is coming from or the process by which we get that meat onto our plates to serve our families.
Kinda scary huh? You're darn right!
So I set to the task of finding a place to get some quality meats. Thankfully it wasn't that hard! Many of the locals spoke very highly of a local meat market. The solution: Ogeechee Meat Market!
Of course you can't just go buy meat and not check out the place, and that's what we did! Let's start with the helpful and friendly staff. They were eager and willing to answer questions, and assist in any way possible. The location is very easy to get to right off of Abercorn (Hwy 204) and Hwy 17, which are well-known and well-travelled roads here in Savannah, and parking was plentiful.
The first thing I noticed was the cleanliness. It was spotless and didn't smell of yucky meat or bloody anything. The cases were spotless and there were NO flies or other bugs making their way around the meats. The color of the meat was spectacular and you could smell the fresh spices of the sausage through the glass. No joke!
I had already explored there very user friendly website and knew exactly what I was getting. They have a Meal Deal of the Week, which changes monthly, and is very affordable. Because it's summer time and our children are off visiting grandparents, this Meal Deal lasted hubby and I about 10 days. The meats were so delicious and fresh and cooked up beautifully. I had stuffed pork chops, steaks, bacon, sausage, ground meat, and chicken breasts... and they were all part of the Meal Deal! Additionally I purchased some chicken patties that were outstanding! All of this meat for under $60! Whatta steal!
As if the great selection of meats and sausage weren't enough to keep me coming back, they have a Buddy Coupon that changes monthly. Last month I got an additional 1 pound of sausage for my purchase over $25. This month it's a dozen eggs. You gotta love FREE fresh food!

I can't say enough great things about the Ogeechee Meat Market. Go out and give them a try. They are open Tuesday-Saturday. I promise you won't be disappointed. We just got our second 10 days worth of meat on Saturday: chicken, ground beef, steaks, chicken cordon blue (which we had last night and they were AMAZING!), sausage, chicken patties, and stuffed pork chops. Again we managed to get 10 days worth of meat for under $60. WHOOP WHOOP!!
