- These are based on buying rotation bulk protein. Chicken breast is 1.77 a pound again at Fred Meyers . (Kroger) . We got pork loin for .99 a lb last weeek at QFC (Kroger ) . We got hamburger (sirloin roast) at safeways a few weeks back for 2.40 a lb using a basket coupon. Pepperoni was purachased with a coupon on sale. Pepperoni has a long shelf life and we got cheese for 2.00 a lb. cheese is also 2.00 a lb Saturday only , next saturday at Fred Meyers. I suspect that it will be at qfc as well. There is a limit of 2.5 lbs., use a digital coupon, and buy ten dollars of other merchandise. Watching and taking advantage of special buys goes a long ways to bring your cost of food down.
