Do any of your Costcos sell primal beef cuts from the meat department rather than just individual steaks?

I've only seen individual steaks at mine except for around Christmas so I don't want to waste a trip if they don't have that option during the year.

Yeah mine (SF Bay Area) sells full rib eye roasts and NY strip roasts as well, both Prime grade. They are what I used to buy to stock up on steaks before I starting buying half cows. Good way to get steaks that aren't mechanically tenderized if you are concerned about bacteria for some reason. Obviously pair them with a vacuum sealer.

My God that is beautiful. A couple of years back they had a 10-15 pound strip loin on sale. Bought it, slaughtered it, vacuum sealed the cuts. Ate like a king for weeks!

And tell us more about buying half a cow!

My god I would figure if they were selling the 10-15lb strip loin the cow wouldve been slaughtered already. Thats some mad max poo poo.

Anyone tried this gyro meat? On sale so I was thinkin about it...



Couple pages ago but I had a package in my fridge that I finally got around to cooking

Can confirm: it's awful. I've had other take home and prepare gyro kits and was hoping it would be similar quality but the texture is WAY off (very rubbery) and the taste isnt great.

The tempura shrimp.

Make a little stir fry and a little rice and throw some of those bad boys on there and its perfect. the sauce packs with it are decent too, just mix in a little gochugang to spice it up.

Our friend's parents had a nut farm up in NorCal, and would raise a couple cows just for friends. For feed + butchering costs we got half a cow. Our last one was drat near prime grade. Unfortunately they moved to Oregon and retired so I need to find a new beef source because the chest freezer is pretty empty except maybe 20 pounds of ground beef and a few other random cuts.

I don’t know what a primal cut is but the business center near me sells whole frozen lambs

Technically subprimal I've realized. But it's the whole rib roast rather than just steaks or the type of cuts that you buy at the store.

costco only works with you if you are willing to submit to their demands and be Just Another Vendor (the goodness for customers is dual to a lot of hard dealing with businesses, not that I give a poo poo). that's why they kicked out amex and coca-cola for the drink machines, so they are ridiculously firm on this. none of the delivery dealios are willing

I bought a pack of 14 costco hotdogs for $13 the other day and two packs of four 1/4lb Hebrew Nationals that are smaller and less tasty at Smith's currently costs... $4 more.

It's on Instacart and it lets you order without a membership but you'd have to be a fuckin' zoomer scrub to pay those markups.

Still if you are super high / super lazy / super rich I guess you could do worse than ordering a Kirkland Rotisserie Chicken and Ice Cream Bars.

Mind you, everything is marked up by like 15-20%. It kind of wipes out any savings.

The 2-day shipping is somewhat better. I'd only recommend it if you, don't have a car or going to one would be a big chore. In-store prices are still significantly better.

I arrived yesterday right at opening, 15 minutes after those people had entered the building. Parking lot was pretty empty, I walked right in, did my shopping, waited in the checkout line for 90 seconds, and was out in 25 minutes. It was great.

My biggest Costco gripe is that if you call the warehouse and give them an item number, they can easily tell you if they have that item in stock or not. Why can't they cut out the middle man and put that information on the website somewhere? It wouldn't even necessarily need to be an exact number, just a scale from "we have a shitload of these" to "we're almost out of these" or "we don't carry these at this warehouse."

They did start doin this for some items in some warehouses, seems to have been a trial run or something.

e. apparently its powered by instacart and blows

Instead of calling and bothering them why don’t you go and check in person and then buy $200 of other crap regardless.

I'm pretty sure instacart is tied to their system and in my experience has been accurate.

edit: Although I'm sure it's not always.

I went to Costco today even though I'm five days into a nightmarish allergic reaction that causes all my skin to blister and my eyes to swell and everything to itch like I'm sitting in a fire ant nest. Pretty chill trip, just picked up some protein and veggies, some soda water and a slice. PBUC

Dogs got into the fridge somehow, broke a bunch of the eggs and somehow ate or hid the lemons?!? So now gotta make a mid month trip.

We moved recently and while I love the new place and the neighborhood, I mourn being a 15 minute bus ride/8 minute bike ride from church

One of our elite moves on Costco day is to grab a tuna steak, a pack of mangos, a pack of cucumbers and a bag of avocados. It’s a game of chance if you can get the tuna and find ripe avocados and mangos, but if you can, you’re 90% of the way to easy, delicious poke bowl dinner.
