Tips for Choosing & Using Store-Bought Roasts

  • Always check shipping cut-off dates — many are only sold in season.
  • Consider extra gravy — many roasts supply less than expected.
  • Use the roast as your main protein and bulk up with sides (veggies, potatoes, beans).
  • If it’s shipped, order early and confirm delivery windows.
