Costco Meat Quality

It’s fine

Their vindaloo is fire.

Cook it Medim Rare you are not gonna die. Just casue a sticker says cook it well done.

Can get packer brisket <$3lb on the reg. Whole pork loin is a good value.

Best kept secret is the 2lb bag of boneless rotisserie chicken. They did the work for you.

I like costco's meat. It's pretty good. Costco is a good store but it always seems like there's several muslims there

---

Just hang out by the liquor and pork sections they shouldn't bother you there.

Sorry, I'm not buying a ribeye cap to cook to 160F

never knew this was a thing. Eat about 1 a week cooked to 130

First time I ate meat from Costco was when I was up in Bloomington, IN several years ago helping a good friend frame up an addition on his house.

He went to Costco and bought a whole ribeye and cut it into 1 1/2 inch thick steaks and grilled them. They were excellent and I'm glad N.O. finally got one of their store right off Carrollton Ave. The wife and I shop there for most of our food needs.

but if it was a real problem you would hear about people getting sick from Costco beef.

---

Thats how I see it too. I’ve never heard of one person getting sick due to the blade tenderizer....

I still don't understand why they blade tenderize prime beef though. Anybody know what the reasoning behind this is?

---

yeah I definitely still eat them medium-rare, but it just doesn't make sense why they do this and possibly expose us to more risk

I need to join Costco. We live about 2 miles away from the BR one yet I've never been.

Get someone to let you go with them before you join to see what it's all about as far a quantity and quality of goods, availability of things you use, whether buying some things in bulk is optimal for you.

It is just the wife and I for now and I do almost all of my shopping for groceries at Costco and get some things at the local Rouses that Costco doesn't have that we like.

As for paper goods like paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, Kleenex---you can't beat the prices and it won't go bad no matter how much you buy. I also use their dish soap, soap powder, kitchen storage stuff like foil, wax paper, clear cling wrap.

The only thing I am careful with buying are fruit and vegetables since they often come in large quantities and if not eaten in a timely manner, they can go bad. But things like that can be shared with other family members if it is too much.

Just the savings in gasoline alone will often pay for the membership card and my wife and I both have Executive cards that give us cash back at the end of the year, and that is enough money to pay for card renewal and put money in our pockets.
