We like it if the company will let us try a product by setting up a demo booth for the customers to sample it. Thats how we find out if it will be a good seller. Gollys Hy-Vee usually promotes these products in its advertisements a couple times every month. He expects to see a higher demand for the precooked products in the summer as people become busier and have more activities. These products do not take away business from the fresh meat counter, Golly says.
Most stores do offer some precooked cuts in their fresh-meat counter.
Urbandale shoppers Russ and Betty Carter like the stir-fry and skillet products. We always buy beef. Degner says it is important to look for use-by dates on these products. We are always concerned with meat safety, so these are important to look at. These products are in both the refrigerator and freezer aisles in the supermarket, so if you cant find them, just ask, because most stores have some of the products available.
