New packaging allows for a 30 day refrigerated shelf life. I have not tried these yet, but may have to soon.

Can't seem to find the grading on their site? Choice?--

Omaha steaks for example are ungraded. CAB beef is their own grade, somewhere between choice and prime (or "top choice").
USDA inspections must occur for safety and wholesomeness, but you do not need to have them also grade. that is an extra service, IIRC

I have been getting my ribeye's at Kroger----the whole uncut type----6.99 per lb, whereas if you buy individual ribeye's they are 12.99 per lb. I think I can cut them myself for nearly half price. Plus, I like mine thicker than what you usually get in grocery stores, so not only do I save money but I get a better, thicker steak to bootLagrange, GA LBGE

I'm with you rfmr62. For even $35.00 per pound this poor boy can buy a big ole chunk of meat. At that price they should deliver it cooked to the table with all the fixin's and clean up afterward.

It's less about how expensive this beef is and more about how incredibly cheap regular beef is
factory farming has driven the costs down quite a bit. Grain fed versus grain finished or grass fed too.
'Omnivore's Dilemma'. Highly recommended the read.

I'm sure they are capitalizing on aspirational (read: yuppie) mindsets re farm to table and all that. And banking on disposable income. No harm there too
but beef raised solely on grain is not only much cheaper to begin with, it doesn't even taste like what beef 'used to be'. But we grew up with it and don't know any different
My point though was that gas isn't expensive in europe. It's cheap here. Same for beef, fish, etc.
we are so used to artifically deflated prices on some stuff that we assume it is an outright screwing when something is priced higher.

I tend to agree, & mostly I blame Pete & his tomato conspirators

Well. Pete is a whole different thing. Twelve dollar communist tomatoes. Running the giant supermarkets out of business with his roadside card table and wicker basket of vegetables. Damned coffee can with a slit in the plastic lid for your money.

We've been buying the cow, well, half at a time, from a friend of my wife's. They are grass Fed and organic and the processor calls us on howhat we want it cut. We do supplement with store boughto, but are selective. Not 40.00 a pound selective though.Bill Denver, CO

He nailed it though. I guess I'm guilty on occasion of overpaying too, and happily I might add, for certain things. My annual pilgrimage to Victoria and Albert's comes to mind....
