Message: [QUOTE="August_West, post: 4285564, member: 1047"] I havent been in a few weeks but I bought a prime whole filet in mid march and the price hadn't risen from what I paid in December . That is what Costco is great for, Ill buy everything whole whether Filet, Strip , Ribeye, etc. And then I butcher it myself into Cuts at the thickness I desire and then Vacuum seal and Freeze (have a dedicated standalone freezer in basement) and then I don't need to worry about buying meats for months and months. So even though I pay anywhere from 150 to 250 dollars each for the wholes, and it seems like a lot of money, it saves me so much in the long run. 1) I'm cutting the meat exactly how I want it. 2) I never have to worry about picking it up at the grocery store. The meat section of the grocery store is in my basement already! Initially I thought the process might degrade the meat over time, but over the last couple years Ive learned that ,for me at least, after the vacuum sealing I can pull stuff out 6 months later or even longer and naturally defrost it and it is still pretty much perfect The initial outlay saves me so much time and money. I'm just lucky I guess because I find the butchering process relaxing and enjoyable, once every 4-6 months Ill buy a bunch of stuff on a Sunday , put some music on and stand in the kitchen for a few hours cutting and vacuum sealing into portions we can pull out for meals for two. My fiancée thinks I'm crazy that I actually enjoy the process, maybe I am, but I don't mind it at all. [/QUOTE]
