Bone in Ribeye on sale 13.99!

Not bad, not good...not bad... kinda wanted to make a small "full 1 bone" or "slim 2 bone" roast... I go there.

Standing Rib Roast 16.99! - I ask the guy, "So I pay more for the privilege of buying more?" he kinda just was like "yeah..." .. "So can I just get a really thick bone in ribeye?"

/sigh

lol, I've posted proof here before that my kroger 100% lets me do this if I buy a whole 18 lbs ribeye bone in. If you ask them to cut things is where you get resistance. A lot of people aren't allowed to cut the steak.

Yeah, Publix I usually never get any question- but they are generally slow. This was a farmers market thing and the butcher shop is always suuupperr busy and hectic so I did not really push the issue...and 13.99 it was not a /killer/ deal, I just got 2 normal steaks and enjoyed them.

I am sure if I pushed it they would have asked the guy behind them to cut me a "big ribeye"

Its just amusing the price going UP for the one that forces you to buy more

Beef prices are based on pure, unadultered mental retardation.

At my local Safeway there are many days that ground beef (i.e. the scraps left over after butchering) is not the cheapest cut of beef available. Possibly even most of the time.

Absolutely retarded.

Yeah, not only are you buying more with the roast, but it also requires less effort from them. Makes no sense.

Well its based on what customers want, and the people are retarded and can't do math. Whenever I see a bulk item where it costs MORE/quantity than a single item I just scratch my head and wonder who's buying that shit, then I look down the aisle at the other customers and immediate understand.

Lots of people don't want to cook anything that's not ground beef. We sell halves and quarters of beef and there's often a customer that wants everything ground. Once we had a butcher shop get in an argument with a customer because he didn't want to grind the rib eyes and another time we traded a customer ground beef for steak pound for pound.

When I was growing up, my mom would always take "steak" to get ground at Publix... I never really knew why... she would pick what she wanted and put it up on the butcher counter, come back later it would be ground and packed.

No idea why... perhaps I should ask her.

I doubt it was to pay more, we were poor... I assumed it was whatever the cut was, was cheaper than the pre-ground per lb...so it was cheaper way to get ground beef.

I made my first quiche the other day and I'm looking for more ingredients to vary it up a bit. So far I've just done cheddar, bacon, and green onion. Please no stupid suggestions like broccoli.

I like to add different vege. Will chop leafy greens like spinach etc pretty often. Or if I have leftovers like squash, onion, peppers, mushrooms I’ll give those a fairly fine chop and mix it in. Jalapeño. Just about any protein.

Try other cheese as well, so many great options

Bacon, swiss, portabella, and eggs were made for each other
