poisonpill posted:Where in the world are you getting beef under $2/lb, even in the before times? $2.99 a pound was common for tri tip just buying the bulk sack from grocery stores with like 5 tri tips in it. $1.99 was the good sale price. They’re untrimmed so you lose a lot to that but still cheap. Tri tip isn’t supposed to be an expensive cut of meat can’t you still get NY Strip loins at Costco for around 9.99 or less a pound?

In the before times I got untrimmed tri tip for $1.99 a pound on sale. in a similar vein, there was a meat guy putting out ground turkey packs (and half of them in the cooler looked grey and nasty). I said to my wife "$6 a pound, that's not worth it" and the meat guy looked at me and chuckled. no idea if he was agreeing with me about the price or if he thought I was being ridiculous. went to Ralph's and they had $3/pound ground turkey

Slab bacon for about that as well. I wanna say I saw them go down to $1.99 on occasion for one cut or the other. my parents were telling me about this great grocery store they found on the way to their cabin and it turns out it’s another one of their 3 locations. Picked up a 10 pound box of frozen cod fillets for $10 last year, although even they have been affected by The Times We Live In. Paul MaudDib fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Dec 6, 2021 |

From my understanding tri tip used to be considered more of a junk/unknown cut and so it was cheap and now it's the popular cool thing and the price went up. This all being pre-pandemic pricing. For a local area comparison price point I think I paid $25/lb for prime grade boneless ribeye 2 weeks ago for a birthday dinner I cooked at home. (Non-costco shopping) Or maybe I just got hosed on the price!! Thanks for the recipe tip

Choice NY Strips went from $8/lb before to $14/lb now. Not sure what the whole loin costs. Anyway, rack of porks are back, buy those they're great.

Yeah I guess if NY is $14 then 10 for tri tip isn’t out of line but I think at that point I just say gently caress it and go for the $20 ribeye.

Meatchat: This reminded me I was low on steak in the freezer so I went to US Foods Chef Store and the prices were: Boneless ribeye: $9.99/lb NY strip loin: $5.75/lb Tri tip: $4.05/lb This is buying in bulk though (but it's open to the public), like 12-20 pound packages. I don't think their meat is as consistently good quality as Costco's but at less than half the price I can live with it. I also don't like how much Costco mechanically tenderizes their meat.

I like tri tip and have cooked a million of em but not if they cost the same as strip loin. One thing that's good if you've got guests that like medium-well and bad if you don't is that one end is thicker than the other so you usually end up with a range of donenesses for your pervert inlaws that don't like medium rare.

We've got a newborn (3 weeks so far!) now so we have very little time and energy for cooking. Went to church for some essentials and also picked up the precooked pot roast and lemongrass chicken things from the refrigerated section, both were pretty good! Any other suggestions from that premade reheat stuff section? Salad and seafood are kind of a no go until my wife's appetite for those things returns to normal but it looked like there was some interesting stuff there.

There's a lot of good stuff in that section. The KS pulled pork is great, I just heat it in the microwave for like 7 minutes and add BBQ sauce. The Irish stew is good, but that's a seasonal item and I don't think they have it right now. The mashed potatoes are another good item to quickly make. And while it's not a reheat meal kind of thing, all the lunch meats in that section are very good if you just want to make a quick sandwich. Also, you can never go wrong with a $5 rotisserie chicken.

It's prime NY strip or bust imho, even at the insane price. Twice a month usually so not a terrible cost.

Those superfood/veggie egg bites are really good (they also reheat from frozen well). I ate a lot of those while nursing. The pierogis are good, and the chicken tikka masala is filling with some of those little naan breads. Not refrigerated, but the Red’s burritos and those fig bars were also clutch in the newborn phase.

Thanks for the suggestions! Hoping to get back to Costco this weekend if I can. Pulled pork, egg bites, and chicken tikka are all on my list. Will probably grab a bunch of others to try out too.

Enos Cabell posted:Limit 2, so I got the biggest ones since I wanted to fill my smoker and freezer. Still an amazing deal Absolutely wonderful! I recently made chef Johns versions with a 5 spice and it was amazing! Highly suggested anyone try it out even if you're not a huge fan of that particular cut normally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dv98FYcF6A Came out really good, I'm wondering how yours would turn out filleted in half and cross scored like that! Way higher seasoning to lean pork ratio Also noted recently went to Canada from the US and Costco was basically my life support, new wool socks, gloves, jacket, gifts for the fam, wasn't nearly as stocked as the Davie or North Miami Costcos I usually go to, but I know those two are monsters in sales so I'm not sure if Canada is a 2nd world country IRL or what. No flap meat, but eye round roasts for loving daaays, salmon is like 29 CAN coinos or whatever, shits weird. But got my covid test to hop a jet out of that place after seeing some amazing snow and seeing their aquarium and giant radio tower/resturaunt, so Costco saves the day once gain! maniacripper fucked around with this message at 07:19 on Dec 8, 2021 |

Shipping things to Australia (or anywhere outside the US) involves a poo poo ton of paperwork, and I'm glad I don't have to fill that stuff out anymore.

It's odd but even in the same supermarket I can sometimes find tri-tip priced only a $1 - $2/lb lower than ribeye, which is ridiculous.

Thanks to forums user and true gentleman StormDrain, Mr Music and I are the proud owners of one of these! It arrived just now, right before I left for work, so I was able to surprise him with an early morning gift. I’d been teasing him with the hint that Costco merch was coming soon, but he never guessed that it was a puzz!
