Wait, so skirt steak is expensive now?

Outside skirt steak is expensive not only due to increased popularity here, but in our trade agreements with Japan it is considered offal and thus avoids the heavy tariffs most beef incurs.

Also FWIW, almost anything beef is going to be either expensive, imported, or both. Cattle numbers are way down in many areas due to drought, restricting supply.

If you can find it in your area and you live near the coast, bycatch might be a good option. Best to try an actual seafood monger, but this is stuff that is caught inadvertently in insufficient quantities to sell to restaurants.
