A Butcher’s Mistake Is A Poor Steak Lover’s Gold Mine

I had to do a double-take when I saw the price tag. A bunch of thick juicy ribeyes that were nearly 1lb each at Safeway being mislabeled as a "Beef Back Rib" that was on sale. It was around 8pm too so I think they just put them out. You can bet your ass I bought all 6 of them off the rack. 2nd photo shows how thick they were. Cha-chinggg

    Those are fairly lean. Treat them with some care

    Lol I came across about a dozen Filet Mignon packs at Sam’s Club labeled wrong .

    Incredible deal, that’s some good luck you got

    Hope you bought the lot of them. Nice find!

    Eh the label of the type is wrong but those are low grade super lean and the price per lb seems fair for that quality even if it was labeled ribeye

    There’s two potential reasons for this.

    1. Pure mistake
    2. Insider wants some steaks

    I’m jealous and happy for you at the same time. With the price of beef these days, we need all the savings we can get.

    I knew I should have gone to Safeway today.

    I wouldn’t have bought those, personally

    Nice! Every now and then I will catch something like that at my local store. They mislabeled some parmigiano reggiano once and I got a few nice chunks of it for like $3 a piece. Same thing happened another time where they mislabeled tenderloin as sirloin or something. I paid like 7 or 8 dollars a pound for certified angus beef tenderloin.

    I would make some cheesesteaks out of them.

    These were a store employee hoping to swoop them at the end of the night.

    Marbling isn’t great, but for that price, I hope you cleaned house!

    Lord I see how you are blessing others, please show me the way…

    Though lean, I know how to smoke and then sear in smoked tallow to make them taste great. I hope you are able to make them great too!

    I’d hit it. Might even make stew with some of it.
