Looked at the various ads, and couldn't beat my local Fred Meyer (Kroger). They were Choice, instead of Select too. The sale price was half off, and with the digital coupon, another $2 off to get the $5.97. Limit was one per customer, no other purchase required, and they were flying out of the case!
I went in and got the biggest they had at the time, about 13#, and was happy with the result. They are prepackaged at the plant, with a lot of liquid and the mesh restraint, but looked good in the bag.
The wife was home from the doctor when I got back, and I told her we should get another on her account. We went back, and they were down to just little ones. The main butcher is a friend so I asked if they had any bigger ones, and he said no, but he would cut me a fresh aged one hanging in the cooler and give me the same price. World of difference!! Would 15# be enough??
Got them home, and cut multiple roasts and packages of steaks of both of them. Vacuum packed and labeled, we are good for a long while. One happened to go into the oven as we speak. You can see the difference in cuts and marbling, from the pics.
Happy Holidays to all of you.
