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?
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.
How wholesale are we talking? I love me some steaks, but I only have so much freezer space.
You can buy the whole primal cut, usually.
You’re gonna want a second freezer lol
I already have one, they both fill up so fast. I don’t really have the money or space for another.
