Costco Meat Stash & PRIME Tri Tips
« Reply #-1 on: September 07, 2016, 06:28:37 PM »


Needed to replenish my meat stash so I took a trip to Costco. Spent a few bucks and got Tri Tip roasts, pork butts, pork loins, St Louis Ribs, Chicken thighs, Shrimp, Brats, Hamburger, and a Corned Beef.

My wife pointed out a killer deal I just couldn't pass up. Cryovac USDA PRIME Beef Loin Tri Tip whole Peeled roasts for $5.19 a pound!! Picked up 2 bags - each one had 6 roasts in them. Choice Tri Tips were around $8/lb. I noted that the Prime roasts were only available for a couple of days cause my local Costco no longer carries cryovac PRIME Tri Tips. Timing is everything! Gonna be smokin me a PRIME Tri Tip every week for the next 12 weeks ... doesn't get any better than that.

I buy all my smoker meat from Costco.  Being in the Midwest, it's virtually impossible to find tri tip...especially at Costco.

Talk to the Meat Manager the next time in the store, just get the attention of someone in that area and ask to speak to the manager, by giving your input it might result in getting new stuff in the store....

They often bring new products in with the suggestion box by the front door also...HTH

I'll do that. We started getting in prime packers and pork belly about 6 months ago..... So somebody must be asking.
