[Startingover]

I’m watching daughters house and feeding her bunny while she’s on vacation so she sent me money and told me to get a pizza for myself.

Instead I thought I’d treat myself to a steak and went to Publix this morning for a ribeye. Wow ! They just had a few on the counter and they were 1 pound, and thicker than what I want for my skillet but they were $18 a lb. That was a little steep for me. I haven’t bought steak for several months but they weren’t that high!

Around here, a lot of cattle ranches quit ranching & planted almonds. Supposedly, it was a water thing, but, almonds take a lot of water? Not sure about Florida

I don’t know about FL and watering either.

How do parents with kids manage? I never bought steak for my kids but I did fix pot roast.

That’s high to me. I may get a pizza this week but I like thin crust veggie lovers pizza. I haven’t bought a pizza for a long time. Daughter buys them pretty often and I just eat a slice of hers which is usually pepperoni. Or I toast tortillas and buy pizza sauce and spread on it with mozzarella and that satisfies my pizza craving.

Hmmm. Sounds par for the course out here.

I mean, Mickey D’s was paying like 15$ an hour.

Never buy single cuts but I just checked two largest grocers in my area. $14 per pound for CAB

NOT AN EXPERT,

I say, "sometimes" you pay for what you get,
but also make sure you know what you get, thickness is important, look of the meat and marbling
but MORE important is how you prep and cook it,
even a 50 buck steak can suck if you dont prep it and cook it properly

with food I "NEVER" shop by price, I look for what I want and if the price is good BONUS,

except when I buy a ribroast and I make damn sure the fam know I spent 50 bucks on that piece of meat

$18 a lb is what it is by me for Grass fed local Rib Eye, at a butcher, I got two 1.5" 25 oz RE's this week as they had a sale for 12.87 lb.

Aldi's has them for about 12.50 lb, but they always put the bad side down where you can't see it, and they are cut too thin for me to grill properly.

It's a "smallish one" I usually get for the 3 of us 2 adults 1 kid

Maybe this and other "events" might have something to do with it??

We buy a cow every year and split it with a friend. Has gone up to $4 a lb this year. Was $3 for many years. Usually buy 100 lbs of shrimp year and I get a few deer every year as well. We eat pretty well. It shows on my waistline

Wait what ! You buy a cow !, a whole cow, 720lbs of butchered take home cow.
If this is a DIYchatroom in joke, I'm not getting it.
Seriously a whole cow. gives a new meaning to the word
Holy Cow...

Hope you have a cardiologist on speed dial

I just un followed this thread, I'm back and following with interest!
