Went to my Costco here in Honolulu last night, and saw that they finally had Prime Tri Tip. Except, they cut it in strips :doh:
The best I could do is find a 9# choice brisket packer for $3.99 lb here in Temecula (hour north of San Diego)
And same here on the pork butt only boneless
Could be Moose. I guess it depends on their meat distributors for each region. The two near me are both Fresh Fare Ralphs' and while I haven't tried the Tri Tips I'm not too impressed with the rest of the stuff. Not trying to sound snobby or anything. The only thing I like is the dry aged ribeyes from there which were really good. They dry age it in house and call you once it's done. Good stuff for sure.
It seems like the location on Ventura west of White Oak has the best beef of any of the Ralph's in the valley. A lot of the other locations only carry select, and it's crap, although still better than Von's. I definitely plan to check out Harmony Farms in LaCanada very soon, thanks for the heads up on that. :thumb:
Have you also tried Huntington Meats in the LA Farmer's market? They carry SRF, as well as prime hanger steak...
You're welcome! You're right on Vons.:doh: I don't buy select at all.
I used to buy from Huntington Meats and Marconda's at the Farmers market. Since I frequent Harmony Farms I hardly go there anymore (hate the drive/traffic/parking). I tried and love their SNF products though.:thumb:
Yup.. It was. You darn guys got so much they realized it was a hot buy they took the prices up. Lol. Never got to get one

Never heard of McCalls i shall try one of these days. Sev i agree about the damn craziness of the LA area/huntington meat market. I remember you stating that Harmony calls you when they get fresh meat? What do they normally bring in? Ive purchased a nice Butt from them before and it was a good piece of A$$ i mean Butt.
Go to Sams Club they ave choice for $2.37
I order whatever I want and once they bring it in I get "the call" Capish? It's Sak not Sev:thumb: I order wagyu steaks, tri tip, briskets etc. is what I mean. Pretty much anything you want.
McCall's is amazing though brother. Give em a try.
I was there yesterday and they had three in their prime beef area at $2.69/lbI was just at the Loz Feliz Costco this weekend and I didn't see any prime packers.
Just pick one up at the Costco in Irvine Ca $2.69 lb :-D
Picked up a 15 pounder tonight at van Nuys Costco. 2.69lb.
TEXT me I'm there everyday.Next time, get me one too!
