Granted, $1.80 /lb was marked down price since the sale by date was expiring the next day but even if it wasn't, it would've been $2.48 /lb regular price. And this is in GA where Tr-Tip is not common cut and more expensive than the West Coast. I'm sure you can even find even better deals in CA and other places out West.

Did you actually purchase this ulc? Living in the midwest I am far from a tri-tip expert but the ones I have seen are usually 1.5 - 3 lbs and have the grain changing direction.



I am not sure what a 16lb. tri- tip would look, feel, or taste like.

^^^ I can't speak for ulc, but I've seen cryovacs that contain several tri tips.

Yep. I bought it and still have some in my freezer individually separated and vacuum sealed. As cowgirl and tom b commented, there are usually like 5-7 Tri-Tip pieces in the cyrovac. It's not single piece of 16 lb Tri-Tip meat.

It's the same thing with other meats like beef boneless short ribs and beef loin top sirloin cap. There are multiple boneless short ribs in this single 10 lb cryovac package. This is my favorite cut of meat and what I go to Costco to buy. Regular Costco warehouses sell this cut trimmed in styrofoam packages for $9.99 /lb. Costco Business Center has it normally for around $7 /lb. But any close to sell expiration meat is discounted like 40% at Costco Business Center, and I picked this USDA Choice beef boneless short ribs discounted for $4 /lb. I have over 200 pounds of this beef boneless short ribs in the freezer that I picked up for $4 /lb.
