Meat Deal Spotted Thread

[adam c]

I picked up a couple packages of those striploins, they aren’t bad for the price

Cooking them wrong is a factor

[dirtsniffer]

Anyone else feel like beef has gone up like 20% this year?

[RX_EVOLV]

Brisket at Costco has done up from $7.49/kg earlier this year to $12.99/kg last time I checked.

Yes. Conservatively.

I stopped buying any meat from Costco years ago.
Way cheaper to wait for certain sales at other stores and stock up then.

Costco has good quality beef but has 2 issues.

1 prices aren’t great unless you catch one of their sales.

2 their cut beef they mechanically tenderize. No like.

The solution to Costco meat is to buy whole cryovac only (big up front $$$) when they have them on sale which is common enough.

I would love to have a great neighbourhood butcher I could go to to get what I want, but most butchers are either hilariously overpriced or treat you like you are trying to murder a kitten when you ask them for what you want if it’s not literally pre cut in the cooler.

I struggle with this a lot.

I love ordering from the local butcher but often it's just a bit too expensive to justify. Last time I ordered Ribeye there was $55+/kg and it was good, but too much of a premium if we are just looking for something for dinner.

I typical only buy there if I'm having people over on somewhat short notice and what I want isn't on sale somewhere else. Because of the reasons you mentioned.

[adam c]

I usually buy my meat from greatmeat, $16lbs for ribeye

And they deliver too

You can price match the Safeway/Sobeys striploin deal at Superstore if you are lucky enough to see striploin there.

I find the meat from the entire Superstore/Loblaws chain to be 2 notches below every other grocer.
Which doesn't make sense... But, here we are.

*the PC Blue Label smokies can get in my belly, though!!! Want!!
Sometimes I store them in Nestle plastic water bottles for convenience.

You are so weird!!!

PC Blue Label? God damn, I can't think of any good PC blue label crap. Might as well eat Lean Cuisine then...

Now I know for PenIsMightier's death row meal will be some PC diet smokies, and Johnnie Walker in a used Pellegrino bottle.

Superstores meat has never been great in my experience.

Cheap perhaps. But not great.

Brother, you can trust my recommendation. Their smokies are tits. Jalapeno cheddar or just regular - cook them on a stick over the fire with nothing to add but mustard and you are winning!

I like their regular smokies but I try to avoid the Blue Label stuff. This ain't no JW tier list.

I had some AAA striploin from there that was surprisingly good. I can only assume that my superior cooking techniques made the meat as delicious as possible.

Their pork, chicken and ground beef always seems to be fine. It's just their beef...

I don't know what their "Blue Label" really means and I think that's because it means different things like sometimes low sodium and other times diet low fat trash. Those smokies are incredible and when they go on sale, they go on sale BIG and I stock up.
They taste fantastic and they don't have that casing that's 3/8" thick cock-leather and their Jalapeno Cheddar is actually spicy. They win.
I mean, if one is a guy who welches on bets, I could see the lack of appeal. But that's not you.

I get it.

Anything tastes better than a burnt hoisin duck from the BBQ, including some mass produced store brand low sodium/fat sausage.
