[QUESTION] Where are we getting the best value steaks in the US? (lemdro.id)

There are lots of articles on the best value cuts to buy. What I want to know is, which store is bringing the best value for a given cut? I'm based out of the south, so I've got lots of great options. walmart, publix, sam's club, piggly wiggly, aldi. I know historically local butchers have been the place to get the deals. The butchers in my area seem quite expensive. I think they're bringing custom orders to the table more than best value on a standard cut. So, in your opinion, which stores offer the best price:quality? Is there a particular grade, label, certification, or anything like that to watch out for?

Not sure if butchers in your area do them, but a tri-tip is one of the best value:money steaks around.

They can be a little lean in lower grades, but Costco had prime tri tips the other day 😋

Tri tip coated with Santa Maria style dry rub, grilled with indirect heat until almost done and finished over the coals to char. Sides of Pinquito beans, corn on the cob, and grilled bread dipped in garlic butter.
I sometimes add California Sagebrush (Artemesia californica, aka Cowboy cologne, not a true Sage but I digress) to the rub and it adds a nice dimension to the flavor. Just a suggestion, can have just as a steak.
