Costco shopping, meat prices with pics

You'll need to get financing.

$14.89/lb is not too bad for Ribeye in Colorado.. it goes higher than that.

Yep! Was at Big Y the other day and saw prices up to $25 per pound… it’s crazy.

Only my boys like meat, I don’t.


It’s cheaper at Aldis, tho…

Wish I could raise cattle. But chickens and ducks will have to do for now. And yum yum duck eggs are dee-lishious!

my weekly trip to Walmart used to run around 50 or so, today 63

thanks a lot to all the boneheads who voted for the walking cadavar to make it close enough so O could engineer the theft

Is it this expensive in regular grocery stores?

If not, why would it be this expensive in Costco?

Where I live we have three meat markets/butchers that we patronize. All three sell a nice selection of produce, too, in their limited space.

We feel very fortunate to have a lot of small grocers, plus Aldi, ShopRite, Lidl, Acme and Walmart as needed.

I don't eat meat, but my family does. When he goes to the meat markets/butchers he says the prices are "high but normal, not cheap."

He doesn't go to them because of sales, but because of cuts and freshness ... all 3 have similar prices and specials.

I just went to one's website:

These are prices at a meat market in Southern NJ. I don't know if they are good, or not, because you couldn't pay me enough to eat flesh foods ... but here goes ...

T-bones 10.99/lb
Porterhouse 11.49/lb
Sirloin 8.99/lb

I have no idea. We buy meat from ranchers here in NM. 7-8 per pound, average. Grass fed, grass finished, and dry cured for 2-3 weeks.

But Costco is NWO central... Gates father was on the board of directors... the original eugenicist. He was also one of the founders of planned parenthood, along with M. Sanger.

Eugenics runs deep in this family.

Costco has never been a good deal for anything.

I don't know how they managed to convince people for so long.

People see bulk and just assume they're saving because of it.

On cost per unit.. you don't save.

Sure every so often they throw a sale to make you think you got a deal.

Sure if you compare them to Kroger...and other grocery stores.

But Walmart is cheaper than Costco...

And you don't have to buy bulk.

That overpricing looks like a psy-op.

Wonder what they are going to do with all that Meat they end up throwing away because people won't buy it at that price?

Lol...I'll take two ribeyes and put it on a 15 year note please.

Agreed. Seems a pretty typical price for quality ribeye.

unreal. I purchased a 1/4 cow from my local rancher for $800. I guess I should sell my meet now and 4x the money?

Since your thread is pinned, I'll repost my meat topic here. We need more eyes and reports on this!

....

I noticed in July (after the JBS hack) that ground beef prices rose 12% from June.

Here is my spreadsheet that I just updated September 29th. For ground beef, prices at the store are actually rising faster than 12% every month. On the top rows, I started the series with the actual prices in highlighted green. From there it adds 12% to the price of the previous month -- resulting in a 289% annual increase since it's stacked on top of the previous month. The second list is actual prices I recorded at the store for comparison. If I get two prices in a month, I take the higher one - I try to get the prices at the end of the month.

The cheapest and lowest quality ground chuck beef log is already up 44% in three months.

I didn't think it was possible for it to continue but I put together a list of what prices would look like in June 2022 if they continued a 12% increase every month.

I stated this back in July on this site:

At this rate, June 2022 meat prices would be
July 2021 $2.99/lb ground beef = $11.64/lb in 2022
$4.99/lb stew beef = $19.41/lb
$12.30/lb NY Strip = $47.84/lb

THIS IS GOING UP BY DESIGN through the World Economic Forum's plan to get people to eat lab created meat. They never said they would outlaw meat, but if they make it much more expensive than lab grown meat, I guarantee people will succumb to the mystery meat.

How many pounds was it and what are the cuts you got?

It's not all ribeye, right?

True, but that price is for a bulk purchase of nearly 21 1/2 pounds, which should significantly cheaper than single serving cuts. here in hyperinflated California, I bought a big piece of ribeye like that for less than $10 per pound just 2 years ago. At the same time, a single ribeye steak was running less than $12

$35 a pound per beef tenderloin? That is insane!

In Nicaragua, I can buy grass fed, hormone-free whole tenderloin for $7 per pound.

walmart price today for angus rib eye is $18.97 a pound.

Costco was a restaurant supplier that makes a profit off you before you ever walk it the door. But you get a cheap hotdog tho....

At Kroger here in Shelbyville, KY, ribeye is $15.99-$16.99 per lb. Milk is up 80 cents a gallon. It's crazy the kind of inflation I am seeing. Honestly, I'm in my 40s and I have never seen it like this before.

I'm glad back in the beginning of August, my wife and I went in with a couple in our church to buy a half cow. Even with the butcher's fee for processing we paid $4.59/lb.

Sadly, we have very similar prices here in the Midwest. Dammit...I crave a good steak sometimes!

You can also can meat. A pound a pint jar, no refrigerator needed.

Bought one yesterday "Trimmed" Tenderloin was $24.99 per pound.

Oh and I bought it from a local butcher shop.

Going to grab some of these today. Pretty good price, IMHO. South central Louisiana.

choice boneless rib eye (whole) should be $5-6 lb

Choice, select, then prime is the best.

when I ate meat I canned it all for the time.. but not rib eye. sometimes I would can 2 to 3 turkeys when cheap at thanksgiving.I have some canned meat still for my cats I canned a couple years ago.. pork I think.
