Say what you want about beef, but there in nothing better in the summer (IMHO) than a thick, juicy steak, cooked to perfection on the outdoor BBQ grill. So imagine my surprise when our local supermarket advertised this fantastic price-per-pound for a NY strip steak: $5.99. In case you weren’t aware, inflation has caused many a person to forgo steaks (at oftentimes $15.99 a pound, and still rising). The sale started this Sunday. Hubby and I got there as early as we could: 9:30 AM, and this is what we saw:


Needless to say, hubby and I spoke with the butcher. He said he had a few more steaks but he’d have to cut them. He told us to wait. Wait we did. Almost 45 minutes. The butcher brought out only 5 packages. We bought 2. Each package held 4 steaks each, so that was a total of 8 steaks, at the sale price of $5.99 a pound, which meant it cost us a total of $34, or roughly $4.25 a steak. That’s a fantastic price BUT you still had to have at least $17 to afford one package of the steaks, despite the super sale.

As much as I eat plant -based. I find eating beef a couple of times a month and I don’t get migraines as much. I like mine very rare.

We try to have red beef at least once per month. It’s usually in a hamburger or a meat loaf. In the winter, a stew made in the crock pot. I think it is very important for a person’s health to have red meat at least once in a while. My husband’s sister was 100% vegan, till she got very sick and her doctor told her the remedy was eating red beef. Go figure?

Yes, I do too. I think a varied diet is best. I love playing with recipes. We grow so much food that I like to find new ways to use it.

Oh my gosh, how delicious that looked! About 15 years ago I was having huge problems with eating steak. It wouldn’t stay down. So, I can only have ground beef. I miss its delicious taste, but we’ve managed to find bone-in center pork chops that ‘almost’ taste just as good as a steak. Life is too short not to have something delicious to eat. A small luxury, but so worth it.

Sharon, I have to cut tiny little pieces to eat a steak. I don’t know why but it seems to both taste better and then go down. Go figure?

I finally found a way to comment here. Steaks are so expensive but I am so glad that you enjoyed them. Top’s had their B1G1F meat sale this past week. They had sirloin steaks. I have always been leery of the B1G1F sales because they have a tendency to mark up the first one and any sirloin we have purchased because they have always been tough. Well since this store merged with another store that does the buying and my sister told me they buy them all the time because they are so tender, I decided to get some to try. We got 2 steaks and they came out to about $5.00 each. Hubby grilled one last week and it was so tender and flavorful. We got 2 dinners out of that steak. Next time they put these on sale I will get more.
