re: It's almost cheaper to eat at a restaurant than home nowadays

That seems high for 12 oz steaks unless you’re intentionally buying much higher quality and if that’s the case you’re getting a better steak than what Texas Roadhouse buys
I can get a 2 pack of 16 oz ribeyes USDA choice at Walmart for 25 dollars. Couple potatoes and asparagus all together about 30 bucks

It's almost cheaper to eat at a restaurant than home nowadays
We had steaks tonight, and I paid $20 each for 12 oz ribeyes at our grocery store. The 12 oz ribeye at Texas Roadhouse is $22.49 and comes with two sides. It's fricking bull shite.

A good steak at home cost will cost far less than a good steak at a restaurant.
Prime Filet: $30-35/lb
An 8oz prime filet at a restaurant? $60

Have you eaten at a decent restaurant lately?
Dinner for 2 is hard to keep under $100 unless you're getting the bare minimum.

Are you retarded?
You live in Cow Town, USA.
FFS this is one of the most iconic images in the entire city, it’s like Arrowhead.
I grew up there I should know.
It’s the statue for the American HEREFORD Association building, which is HQ in KC. I’m fortunate and live rural, we literally just go to friends or family & pick the heifer out of the pasture & deliver it to the butcher shop and split the cost among 3/4 people. So much cheaper and quality is superb.

No, but I'm wondering if you are. Maybe let Hy-vee know where the American HEREFORD Association HQ building is and see if they will lower the price of their steaks. I'm just telling you what I found at one of the local grocery chains. It was New Years day and I didn't have time to track down a heifer in a pasture somewhere to have steaks for dinner.

shite where do you shop I can get ribeyes for about $13 a pound so $26-27 dollars for 32oz of steak.
Then you leave $$$ for your waitress but at home you just give your SO the tip

Costco carries the best beef for the price. They are well known for having beef that just barely misses the prime designation (although they sell prime too). They also sell interesting cuts for much cheaper than other places.
Recently they have been selling tri tip for super cheap. Cut it in strips the size of a deer backstrap, grill hot and fast to medium rare. Cut in medallions and it makes a really good marbled filet substitute. 80% of quality for less than half the price.
All of their other more standard cuts are well priced and pork and chicken are stupid cheap if you buy large packages and break down to your needs and freeze.

I don't pay attention to grocery prices much, we just buy what we need or want and that's it. My wife, myself and my 13 year old Daughter ate at Longhorn Sunday and I had one 9 oz serving of house cabernet. Cost us close to $120 all in with tip and my daughter and I shared a Ribeye (she ate about 3/4 of it). That meal would have cost us about $50 at the house and we would a had enough salad shite and stuff for baked potatoes to last a couple of days and an entire bottle of cheap cabernet.
Before COVID we ate out almost every night. It wasn't unusual at all for us to spend $100 on dinner Tuesday. There were 4 of us then. Since 2020 we have started eating at home most of the time and we have saved a ton of money doing so. I can cook enough hamburgers and french fries to feed half the block for what McDonalds costs.

Hyvee is our local grocery store here. Normally we get steaks from Sam's which I think might be cheaper. I don't ever remember seeing grocery store ribeyes for over $20 a pound.
If you paid $20 for a 12 oz ribeye that’s $26.67 /lb. As others have mentioned, I hope it was prime.
I checked the local Rouses sale paper here, and choice T-Bones are $9.99 /lb. At Winn Dixie you can buy a whole tenderloin for $8.99 /lb … it’s that Argentinian beef, but it cooks up pretty well. They had T-Bones $4.99 over the weekend.
I dig the situation you were in - “guest at the house, hey, what do y’all want for dinner, wouldn’t a steak be nice”.
You didn’t really pay the $27 /lb for ribeyes, you paid for the convenience of not planning.

I haven't had McDonald's in years.. I was in a pinch and was starving. I got what I would get in the past.. 2 hamburgers and a coke. That price was $3.20 something.. The guy tells me $6.50. That's freakin ridiculous. The price jumped that high in a couple Biden years..

No fricking way. I took 8 people (including my wife and I) for dinner a few days ago. Bill and tip was over $1200.

It wasn't prime. I was able to find it online and it's a little cheaper, but not by much. It does say it's on sale. Maybe the sale started today, I don't know. It also says this is the price when purchased online, so maybe it's marked up in the store. Again, don't know. Maybe HyVee forgot that the HEREFORD HQ building is in KC. No idea. I know that I bought four and it came out to $79.96 before tax. I got them and they were fantastic. I just couldn't believe how much it was. We haven't done steaks in at least a couple months, and I can't even remember the last time I bought them in the grocery store as we normally get them from Sam's.

And you know, thats what matters. Sometimes it’s worth paying a little more.
