Go to your local butcher shop, if you have one nearby, rather than the supermarket meat department. I was even able to get 10 lbs. of hog fat at the one here, most of which I’ve rendered into lard(ooh, the french fries are awesome!). They’ll also cut steaks to the thickness you want, RIGHT NOW AS YOU WAIT!, instead of you having to take whatever’s been packaged. Also, the meat is locally raised, which is a plus.

Butcher? What is a butcher? I remember my grandmother talking about them, but I don’t remember what they are. Seriously, there isn’t a butcher within 40 miles of my house. So, burn 4 gallons of fuel to save a buck on a steak?

The only bad part of this is the farmers raising the beef are selling the cattle for less than a dollar a pound close to what it costs them to raise quality beef.

When a local store had Sirloin tip Roasts on sale for $2.50/Lb I got some and had them ground (easily less than 5% fat). It’s a good time to have a large freezer ! Just be sure to freeze meat promptly if not planning immediate use (and check freshness date carefully, some sales are on ‘older’ product). When I buy an entire Ribeye roast (generally around 20 Lb.) I can get Prime for $5.50 – cut into steaks or cook it very rare and freeze portions. Now – if only Ethanol subsidies weren’t pushing corn prices so high …
