A buddy of mine works for US Foods - when I was living in CT usually every other month he'd get his hands on stuff that "fell off the truck". Individually cryovac'd steaks, hamburger, and lamb racks were a few things. Had some of the best Rib Eye steak I've ever had from him.
Getting nearly 8 pounds of thick cut top shelf aged rib eye steaks (+ steak seasoning for all of them) that would normally have a price of $76.02 out on the rack for about $21 + tax out the door.
The Butcher was like, "they told me to make deals with this stuff so here you go". This is how my buddies and I eat. After he handed me the seasoned steaks, he said, "only let your good friends have those rib eyes."
Like I didn't know.
I rushed home and threw one down on the grill. No doubt, some of the best steak I have ever grilled for myself.
Got a $10 off next $35 purchase of same brand of beef coupon at checkout and the butcher who was apparently very chummy with the female assistent manager checking me said to come back in a couple of days and he would cut up some more the same way. Now I'm talking getting $76 bucks worth of steaks for about $11 bucks.
You can always use a good steak. At least I can.

Don't forget cop. They can be quite helpful. Great deal on the steaks. Ribeyes are basically the only steak we get. That doesn't mean I don't like T-bones, tenderloins and NY Strips, but when it comes to spending the money for beef, grilled REs are what makes me proud to be a carnivore.
As a THANK YOU to my in-laws for all they've done for us the last year, I bought them 2 porterhouses 2" thick. Got them special cut by the butcher and got a good deal on them (not as good as Gonz' though). We'll take them tomorrow when we go visit for the 4th.

they ended up being right around 32 oz. each right? we did that one year for our annual trip to M.I.S. told the butcher to cut em as thick as he can, those things were huge and TASTY with some montreal steak seasoning.

Took my ship out on a "dependent's cruise" last night to watch the fire works. Had my crew and their families and friends on board. The seas were FAC (flat ass calm) and it was a beautiful night. We dropped the hook of the beach at Wildwood and had a great seat for a very impressive fireworks display.
I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on
