Omaha Steaks aren't really necessary in 2018. If you know what you are buying and learn your cuts, you can get what they have at the grocery store these days.
BUT. . . . . I DID score a s-ton of filet's about 15 years ago. My girls grew up on filet mignon. I stacked my entire chest freezer with them.
I forget what was going on. It was after the economic downturn of the early 2000's. So maybe early 2002, or possibly 2003.
Omaha was sitting on a ton of meat they couldn't sell. The economy crapped out and they were stuck high and dry.
So they offered a discount on filet. Then I got a 25% off NO-MATTER-WHAT coupon. I think it was 4 of their awesome styrofoam containers FULL of individually wrapped filets. I was in for about 18-24 months before I ran out. (My girls were small so they'd get a slice off of the 2 steaks I'd cook for my wife and I.)
I might have paid $3-4/lb.
I never get filet anymore because it costs too much. I watch for the price of ribeye at Hannafords or BJ's. I'll get a whole roast or a half-roast and slice my own steaks. That works for me.
Pork prices are CRAZY cheap these days. So I've been eating a lot more of that. Just because I can make a huge meal for $15 for a family of 5. I can afford to do more, but I love doing a $15 meal. Either grilled chops (that I cut myself from a boneless roast - more mix of muscle the better - sometimes called the ribeye end) with Beurre Blanc sauce (to die for - basically buddah with some flavoring) or a smoked boneless roast with apricot-cherry chutney. It's all about the sauce. (That sauce MIGHT cost almost as much as a 3lb roast these days. Dried apricots and cherries, ginger, and other fixings. It's 1/2 bag of apricots and cherries.)
Or ribs.
Or pulled pork.
I ordered my UDS for the Lake yesterday. The accessories kit shipped today. The drum? Hopefully soon.
