Pissed about the price or them putting an amazing marbled cut with that sad lean cut?

I used to eat steak quite a bit. Now MEAT IN GENERAL is so expensive, I use a lot of cheap ground like turkey. Very occasionally I will buy a steak. Hopefully more people start walking away with sticker shot so the meat market can be corrected. Let them have to mark it all on deep discount, then clean up.
If demand goes down, price goes down. We as the consumers must set the expectation for stores.

Prime grade eh?

Used to always buy steak at Costco, now they are so over priced I haven’t bought any in 6 months.

Ask the meat guy to split them and only take the good one. That top one is select at best.

Steaks are not individually graded.

That’s insane… looks like it was packed by mistake no way that’s Prime up top. Select and Prime, I don’t think Costco usually carried Select either.

I know beef is taken from one cut of the entire cow for grading, but those steaks are worlds apart. Do better Costco.

Was already shaking my head…. and then I saw the Prime sticker.

I’ve seen plenty of this exact example at my Costco. They do it on purpose for sure. They do three pieces with two being from the same slab and one from a different usually lesser slab under the price sticker so less detailed people wouldn’t notice.
Doesn’t Costco have a ‘within 3 days of expiration’ discount?

I haven’t bought steak from Costco for at least a year now. The prices don’t justify the quality of meat. $22 a pound for choice when I can get choice angus at my local market of similar quality go $16/lb and sometimes less than that. Tri tip is double the cost at Costco. It’s not worth it for beef. It’s great for chicken all day long.

I love steak but beef prices are insane. 70 bucks better get you some decent cuts at least. I’ve been eating pork chops lately. Not as good but a fraction of the price.

Select + Choice = Prime

That’s for your family member that wants their steak well done.

One of these things is not like the other!

My Costco has always done crap like this. 3 amazingly marbled NY strips with one shredded piece of crap that’s 80% tendon.

So many bootlickers here telling you the butcher can fix it.
They created the problem intentionally, just because they will make you a special pack by requiring you to make a big deal about it doesn’t make it ok.

Get away from that sirloin area and grab some Ribeyes!

That’s absurd. Just bought t-bones for $6.99 on sale.

Sam’s does the same exact thing.

My Costco would NEVER!
Somebody screwed up because there’s no way that steak came out of a Prime carcass. And it’s illegal to sell that steak with a Prime sticker on it.

even Ribeye-only-caps (2x tied cylinder) and tenderloins are blade tenderized in NorCal 🤪

The Prime rating is put on the cow not on the individual cuts. Sometimes there are some crappy cuts in the mix
