Beef Tenderloin is CHEAPER !!!!!!!!($49.99/kg) (was:$64.99/kg

Go watch them with the needling machines to tenderize the beef. Ask them. I won’t touch it. Let me know if they don’t.

Thanks OP - I’ve bought this once recently (rarely buy beef like this), sliced it up and got many servings out of it. Couldn’t believe how good it was coming off the BBQ.

Bro, as has been said in this thread and multiple past meat threads about Costco, their cryovac meat is not mechanically tenderized. You can tell by looking at the labels.

I’d hate to see the carcass where you have to tenderize tenderloin ... eww.

You could have just ignored it if you didn’t feel it to be a hot deal. Instead, you chose to waste time complaining on the forum.

Where???

Unfortunately that's the RFD way.

The last package of tenderloin I bought from the grocery store was $10/lb and AAA. After properly trimming there was a lot of waste and I ended up with less portions than anticipated. It was still a good deal but next time I’d weigh the waste to see what my actual cost per kg is. If it’s up there, I’d consider the tenderloin from Costco.

whole roasts or loins — which definitely don't come cheap — are not blade-tenderized.

Whats a good butcher to get steaks in North Mississauga?

Thanks OP.
I did notice prices were crazy around Father’s Day... so we went to a local butcher instead.

We paid comparable prices as Costco

Loblaws sells ungraded (I've never seen a grading for it at my Loblaws, ymmv) for $22/kg ($10/lb) when on sale.

Loblaws sells it for $8.88 or around there (last time in April it was $8.88) for AA. Sometimes they have AAA for $10 but like the whole rib roasts that sale only happens a couple of time a year.

Also if you are using this for Chinese food just buy the whole tenderloin - you won't notice a difference with the off cuts. If you are buying this for nice tenderloin steaks buy the denuded packs to save you time. I usually buy the whole packs and trim it myself and just use the off cuts for Chinese and the main loin I cut up for steaks

That's what I thought.

At $10 a pound your waste would have to be roughly 56% to make the costco @$50/kg a better deal. This, of course, does not take into consideration your time.

Anyone notice the price of the Strip-loin did it also go down?
