Posts: 8,297
One of my local gourmet shops has tri-tip on sale this week, $4.99/lb. Haven't bought any in a year or so and then it was at Costco, forget the price. Is $4.99 a fair price?? TIA !!!

I'm cooking a pre-marinated tri-tip from Costco tonight and I paid $4.99 / lb. as well. I made one about a month ago from Costco and it was great. I used the leftovers for steak fajitas.

Richard, get it from Ken's on Aurora rd for $4 a pound. Just went up from $3.50

I envy the guys in other states that can buy this cut for 1/2 the price. I pick one up whenever I see them at Publix and I do enjoy the flavor. My local butcher doesn't stock them, and I've never asked him to get me any.

I'm doing a tri-tip today using morro bay rich's method. I bought a whole tri-tip awhile back. Turns out it had 6tips in there. It was 2.99 a pound. There was a limit of one per purchase. Got one. Should have went back. :(Dave San Jose, CA The Duke of Loney

Richard,
Tri-tip varies in price out here. If you see it on sale for $1.99-$2.99/lb it will be select grade and untrimmed. For choice grade, trimmed the price will be in the $4-$6/lb range. -
Rich the one's I'm getting for $4 are choice untrimmed
-
Not a bad price. I've found trimming will cause about a 25-30% loss in weight.
-
bad part is 6 months ago it was $3 then $3.50 These are pretty good quality with minimum trimming needed
-
Where do you get that? It really bugs my wife when I buy factory farmed 'slave meat'. We only buy grass fed, organic local chickens, and they are great but you get such cheap beef & pork when it goes on sale at the local grocery store.
My wife would be very pleased if we moved to all 'happy meat'. -
Though I didn't check the grade. (too excited I guess)It was untrimmed.I got it at Safeway.Dave San Jose, CA The Duke of Loney

Like everyone has said about 4-5 bucks is the norm.I am catering a wedding next weekend and bought in bulk (choice trimmed for 4.50 a lb. I purchased 75 lbs to get that price.Costco is still the best thing going for price vs quality.
GOOD EATS AND GOOD FRIENDS

Sustainable beef in Columbia Mo comes from Missouri Legacy Beef. I don't think they are shipping yet, but thinking about it. I bought their first ever tri tips...now they are cutting them as a regular cut but I still have to order about 3-4 weeks out.Visit my blog, dedicated to my Big Green Egg Recipies at http://www.bigtsbge.blogspot.com You can also follow my posts on FaceBook under the name Keep On Eggin' or the link http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Keep-On-Eggin/198049930216241

ha ha we cant even get it :( so I cant give you a price...
-
I'll send you some and that will determine the price or we could work out a lobster trade.
-
Julie I have a couple in the freezer you want some at the mini fest? Or I can give you a couple frozen ones to take back.
-
Seems fair to me. I bought a case of them back in March for roughly that price. It was either $4.69/lb or $4.99/lb. They were choice and untrimmed.
