Meat Deal Spotted Thread

[ExtraSlow]

If it's on sale at a grocery store it's nearly expired low quality meat, I've heard.

Meh, sous vide makes all things better

Yeah, unfortunately you can only really go off the advertising since there is no rule for the individual pieces to be stamped, just the box

Plus what’s actually in the box can vary (for the better) the box label says AA or higher but there’s about a 50% chance that it’s actually AAA there, could realistically see prime labeled as AA

Edit: this actually goes for a lot of cheaper cuts.

What you did there, I see it.

Costco striploin deal is still on for AAA

That gives me a feeling in my loins

Half price whole chickens at Wal-Mart which brings it down to only $2/pound.
Uggh, Wal-Mart, but they're Maple Leaf, air chilled chickens, so I don't think there's any reason to believe they're inferior just because they're from a shit store. I bought 4 and am looking forward to some rotisserie birds, hopefully with some charcoal flavor.

Just to put it into perspective, you're looking at a whole chicken for about $6.50

I was looking for this thread to post this. $2lb / ~$6.50 per chicken.. Great deal and decent quality. They are just small enough to fit in our air fryer- easy weekday dinners.

Looks like Costco whole striploin is $20/kg. Pretty good. It was ~$28/kg recently.

Thx for the tip, I’ve been wanting to cook full chickens, but at $10-11, i always put them back down and opt for rotisserie chicken at Costco that goes for 6.99.

At this price I should grab a few. Now to see if I can find a rotisserie attachment for my smoker…

I want to be hopeful and say that chicken prices seem to be going back down. The three pack at Costco being $40 was insane.

Spatchcock > rotisserie for any chicken.

The correct answer is always Hutterite chicken

Ah, I vehemently disagree!
I do not wish to support their culture, lifestyle and values when everything they sell is essentially a commodity.

Im sure its mentioned somewhere in this thread, but finally tried Great Meats and was quite impressed. Specifically the pack of 6 AAA Ribeyes for $135. Excellent marbling and quite cheap in comparison to other shops.

I want two of these and maybe a third that I can cook for ExtraSlow to help him realize that it's not gelatin.
The true Christmas spirit is embodied in the spiteful preparation of holiday meats.

[Disoblige]

Make one for me too so I can realize as well...

Umm.. ewwww gelatin!!!! Yea...

[ExtraSlow]

Was gelatin my issue? I forget.
