Part 4/6:
Breaking Down Larger Cuts
One of the biggest cost-saving strategies is buying whole roasts instead of pre-cut steaks. Here’s a look at four large roasts you can break down yourself:
Whole Ribeye Roast
Buying ribeye as a whole roast at Costco can save about 50% compared to buying individual steaks at Whole Foods. When breaking this down, you can create various steaks and a prime rib roast, maximizing both savings and quantity.
Whole New York Strip
Whole New York strips at Costco cost around $8.89 per pound, yielding a 60% savings compared to pre-cut options at Whole Foods. These can be sliced to your desired thickness, allowing control over portion sizes while ensuring quality.
