When Buying Meats in Bulk at Costco, Why is the "Freeze By" Date Just A Few Days Out?
I went to our local Costco yesterday
and bought my usual fresh not frozen meats:
Ground Beef
NY Strip Steaks
Italian Sausage
The Ground Beef and Steaks are "use or freeze by" TODAY!!!!
The Sausages are dated for 2/15/2019
I did a WWW search, looking for a reason for this
and came up with bupkis
Now, when I buy meats at other retailers, say Kroger or Safeway,
I get WAY more time to package and freeze my bounty.
I don't understand this.
Does this mean that the meats that I'm buying at
markets other than Costco have preservatives added maybe?
Does anyone have some wisdom for me?
