Tri-tip Pricing

My local butcher just advertised tri-tip on sale for $10.99/lb. That still seems high to me, but I'm a little tipsy so maybe its just me being negative. Should I hit them up tomorrow for some tri-tip or just go to the local Costco?

I would check out the quality as the above price is below what I can get at on-line sources like Oak Barn Beef and Porter Road (never mind SRF).I see tri-tip at the local Kroger selling for $11-12/lb these days.If you can find them at Costco then go for it as I have never seen them in the Costco here in fly-over country. FWIW-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Our local Costco had USDA Choice tri-tips for $9.49/lb. and USDA Prime tri-tips for $9.99/lb..

SRF wagyu tri-tips are about $17/lb at HEB. For the past few years, Costco has had tri-tip on the regular, but I don't recall the price.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

I guess I'm lucky that Costco in CA ( edit: Cali not Canada) has these regularly. I like to buy the cryovac pack that has 5 to 6 and then vac-seal them. These tend to be about a dollar a pound less than the 2 packs.current: | Large BGE | Genesis 1000 | Genesis E330 | 22 inch Kettle | Weber Summit Kamado

Tri-tip is a little pricey out here in California where it's common. I think I paid $8/lbs for a cryo at Costco recently (daughter's wedding; it was on the menu). Outside the PNW/SW where tri-tip is an exotic cut, sure, I bet it's over $10
