There are lots of articles on the best value cuts to buy. What I want to know is, which store is bringing the best value for a given cut? I’m based out of the south, so I’ve got lots of great options. walmart, publix, sam’s club, piggly wiggly, aldi. I know historically local butchers have been the place to get the deals. The butchers in my area seem quite expensive. I think they’re bringing custom orders to the table more than best value on a standard cut. So, in your opinion, which stores offer the best price:quality? Is there a particular grade, label, certification, or anything like that to watch out for?

      It’s definitely higher quality, I’m just not sure about paying $25 a steak at my current income level. I was hoping to find the point of diminishing returns. Most every product category you can get 85% quality at 50% cost by finding that line.

    Not sure if butchers in your area do them, but a tri-tip is one of the best value:money steaks around.

    They can be a little lean in lower grades, but Costco had prime tri tips the other day 😋

    I’ve heard good things about the US Foods Chef Store wholesale selection if you are willing to put in a little time looking at the beef.
