Q Talk

@greenjean1 My hope is the same as you're hope - delicious steaks.

Have tried in the past Kansas City and Omaha - not going back - tenderloin tips misrepresented, more like scraps from better cuts of meat.

I currently have other steaks of "R" in freezer now along with recent chicken offers. 

I was at store this week - no Prime Rib slices offered - other lesser cuts labeled $13 and up per pound.

10 "R" steaks will be 20 dinners for me.  With side salad or baked potato  that's a $7 meal.

My stomach seems to fill-up fast ...not a big eater; but like to eat good food.

Happy Holidays...........................

@kimber07  I agree with @CARMINE  I can buy very good ribeyes locally for somewhat less, and I can eyeball them before I buy. This kind of purchase is not for every day.. Definitely a celebration item. In re the people out of work and on food lines, we certainly should be mindful. If you are going to adhere to that mindset, I would say take that to anything we purchase. What do we buy that we don't really need? It's all relative. .

To each his own but I would never spend this kind of money for frozen steaks maybe half frozen by the time you get even though I could well afford to buy them. My wife and I retired 15 years before when people usually retire and it has been a lot of years since and it wasn't done by over spending and living high. I prefer the local butcher shop where I can see what I am buying and buying it fresh. Once a month the grocery store we frequent in the northeast has porterhouse steaks on sale for 5.99lb. This is more reasonable and they are delicious. This is when we stock up until they are on sale again.Also on Sunday Chef Stone on Hsn was selling his beef tenderloin for 70.00 for a 1 1/2 roast. I don't think so. We are having our XMAS meal early because of other plans. The local market has beef tenderloin on sale for 9.99 lb. I will be purchasing that instead.

Are the steaks "Prime" or "Choice"?  If Prime and I could see the price asked.

10 -10oz. steaks for $146.21 Works out to 6.25 pounds of meat for 23.39 a pound. Are you kidding me? With people out of work and in food lines. Shame on you.  Way over priced.

@kimber07. What do people in food lines have to do with the price of steaks?  They, like most things, are for the many people who CAN afford them.  Do you shame someone for buying a Mercedes, a big, new house, nice shoes?  Not all merchandise is for all people.

I buy these steaks, and I'n on a fixed income. And no I don't give to a food bank. Don't shame me, I worked for what I have. I'm sure there are a lot of hungry people out there, am I to do with out because they don't have it. How silly!!!!!!!

@Carmie I agree with everything you posted.  And.........I just ordered the 10 piece "R" Rib Eye Steaks.

Please give a review.  I read where some had complaints. I hope this won't be the case with you though.

Most of the meat I buy comes from Restillis, and QVC, chicken, seafood of all kinds, very good meats.

I hadn't heard about this brand until it arrived at the Q.  I'm not purchasing.  I'm spending $$ to help someone in the Broadway business that is out of work, heavily tipping wait staff, donating to food charities etc.  Also, am trying to cheer up frontline workers (security, welfare workers, etc) by sending or handing out small gifts (usually small hand sanitizers...the decent stuff as most agencies provide the harsh stuff).  Maybe someday I'll try the brand but how's not the time for me.

As much as I like Ray Rastelli I find his meats priced at a premium, as much as 30 percent more than the grocery store.  I can find RibEye steaks similarly cut for $7.
