    The Price of Filet Mignon Is Reportedly At Its Lowest Price In A Decade

    Media outlets are reporting that the price of filet mignon is down to its lowest price in a decade. Has anyone come across any great discounts? I'm ready to load up...

      This week I bought an untrimmed 7 lb beef tenderloin for $10 per lb. CAB (Choice). I trimmed it up today and it looks really good! I bought it at Market District (Giant Eagle) in Indiana.

            Beef prices are up and availability is down here in north Alabama. Ground chuck at Walmart was up to $5 per pound this week. Sam's Club was pretty much out of meat on Tuesday.

              On the news this morning that with fine eating establishments closed there is an over supply of Filet Mignon out there hence the fire sale pricing (pun intended).

                  20 kilo (44lbs to you neanderthals) of brisket is usd $2.50 kilo (USD $ 1.13 lb) here at the moment .
                  Depends on the exchange rate as we have about 5 exchange rates. (The black market rate is what 99% here use).

                    Good evening to all. The price for Brisket (choice) in South Florida is $2.19 per pound.. I haven't seen any Filet Mignon yet. I'll be on the lookout. Thanks.

                        High end cuts are hard to find along with pork butts around here in the big box stores. The two butchers I went to today were crazy busy and the prices were still the same as before. Ribeyes were 14.99lb.

                          This was the scene at my local Sam’s Club & Costco in the Bay Area on Friday. Sam’s had some choice beef tenderloins but there wasn’t much of anything to choose from at either store.

                            That matches my experience Tuesday here. They had a little 90/10 ground beef at one end, 2 butts, and a couple packs of shoulder blade steaks and pork chops. 3-4 packs of chicken thighs. A few things of salmon and lots of frozen shrimp tossed out to take up space in the seafood counter.

                          The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One

                          the good one grill
                          The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.

                          Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
                          The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all!

                          Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
                          The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.

                          Grilla pellet smoker

                          The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. The quality of meat from this machine is astonishing. At its crux is a patented firebox that burns logs above the cooking chamber and sucks heat and extremely clean blue smoke into the thermostat controlled oven. It is our favorite smoker, period.

                          This is the first propane smoker with a thermostat, making this baby foolproof. Set ThermoTemp's dial from 175? to 350?F and the thermostat inside will adjust the burner just like an indoor kitchen oven. All you need to do is add wood to the tray above the burner to start smokin'.

                          Napoleon's NK22CK-C Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It's hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the NK22CK-C a viable alternative.
