Stephen Green on beef prices:
I try not to look at the price when I pick up ribeyes at Sam’s Club — but it’s less often than it used to be.
Friday night used to be steak night at Nogglestead. First, ribeyes, and then when the ribeyes went to $17 a pound, strip steaks. Which are now more expensive than ribeyes were.
What he does not mention is that Sam’s used to package ribeyes three to a pack and strip steaks four to a pack, and both are now sold in packs of two. Whether it’s to keep the sticker price down or to keep people from buying too many at a throw, neither is good.
