Lately Costco has been selling USDA prime loins for $9.99/lb with $25 off per package. For a 15 lb. package that works out to around $8.33/lb which is a ridiculous price for prime grade. I bought a package yesterday and cut into NY strip steaks.
It is legit prime grade. Made 15 steaks. 3 are going in the sous vide today and the rest are vacuum sealed and are going in the freezer.
Cowboy, why are NY strip steaks so cheap lately?

Second, this is seasonally a time when middle meats (Ribeye and Loin) decline in value because the grilling season is over, as a rule, after Labor Day. Loins are particularly hard hit because Ribs are a dual purpose primal that is popular as a prime rib roast as well as a ribeye steak. This is evident in the cutout (wholesale beef price) that has dropped around 32 cents since June. By primal, though, the chuck and round, which are ground in the summer and sold as pot roasts and stew meat in the fall and winter, have declined only 10 cents and the value of the rib and loin have decreased by 40 cents and 70 cents respectively.
Finally, retailers are making more on beef than they ever have, so there is room to run on features for particular cuts. The wholesale value of beef is around $1.95/lb, while the weighted average retail value is $5.78. The cutout shows that packers are pricing loins to move - the average wholesale price for a loin is $2.40, which makes prime loins around $3-$3.50/lb wholesale. Retailers and probably buying the hell out of them at that price, taking a normal or slightly less than normal margin, and then featuring them as a sale. Retailers still make money, and consumers feel like they're getting a great deal because margins are so high on the other cuts.sigpic

Originally posted by cowboy View PostA couple of things are going on. First, cheap feed and lower prices are encouraging feeders to feed cattle longer and heavier. Heavier cattle are more likely to grade choice and prime, so there is more meat on the market, and more choice and prime meat proportionally.

I bought four chuck rolls at Sam's Club for the Day of the Dead event tomorrow, and I got them for $3.37/lb. Beef is cheap right now. I was gonna just do half-assed al pastor, but with beef that cheap, we're gonna have some carne mechada legítima mañana."Yeah, but never trust a Ph.D who has an MBA as well.

Shout out to KatyLied. MJ made fajitas out of prime steaks we got from Costco. To be fair, we grilled the steaks on Sunday so they are leftover.
