Omaha Steaks

[CAJUNLAWYER]

Just saw the commercial-looks like a GREAT gift idea.
DON"T DO IT!
Trust me on this one.

I have for the last few years, no issues. What happened?

 

[BAM-BAM]

Agree.
Been there, done that.... never again.

Sounds like the meat those guys come in your neighborhood and sell off the back of their trucks to me? PASS

Does this have anything to do with the hacking of Omaha Steaks customer data by militant Vegans from southern California, now threatening revenge attacks on behalf of all exploited creatures?

I've been expecting something like that.

Just compare to the price of good quality steaks in your local area. Plus shipping & handling.

Omaha Steaks are fair to just OK. Costco steaks blow them away and they are really not much more. Just saying......

That said, I do see a legitimate reason to use OS if you are SENDING a gift to someone outside your local area.

Costco is great USDA CHOICE.

I check the discounted meat every time I go to Safeway. Marked down 50% or more on big packages. I get pork chops and beef roasts, mostly.

I do the same. Meat is the biggest chunk of the grocery budget so it makes sense to pay attention.

Couple of months ago local Safeway advertised rib-eyes for $4.95 per pound, so I put a dozen in the freezer. Boneless chuck roasts for $2.99, time to stock up again. Love the boneless skinless chicken breasts, especially when on sale at $0.89 lb. Whole or half smoked hams at $0.88 per pound, a couple of those go a long way (ham steaks on the grill, ham sandwiches, BBQ ham, ham & beans, split peas & ham, lots of good eating).

Yep discounted meat in the grocery usually provides 50% off on meat that is still good. I can buy expensive cut meats often for same or less than the cheap cuts. I often buy it and freeze it to use later.

Omaha Steaks are ok. But having been born and raised in Omaha, NE, there are much better quality cuts of meat to be had.

I've ordered from Omaha Steaks for years. For the most part I was very pleased. Sadly their prices have gone up and the quality has gone down. They are still a quick and easy order for a low key gift.

Lobo:

Those boneless chuck (and round roasts) are good for stew & soup meat (I got short ribs for about $3.00 a pack last week), chile Colorado, fajitas, and as a roast (of course). Carne asada meat makes good jerkey, stir fry, fajitas, etc. Sometimes there will be pork roasts/tenderloins or spare ribs. They had a bunch of frozen Tony Roma's ribs about 6 months ago and some corned beef after St Paddy's Day=stocked up on about a dozen briskets.

Yeah, I've given them to my parents for Christmas before because it's kinda easy. I did the math one time though and I think the cost worked out to something like $40 a pound.

...Omaha Steaks used to be the best...

My solution to a steak fix is this:

Starting over the next couple of weeks, many/most, almost all of the major grocery chains will feature Rib Eye roast/ standing rib roast at very attractive prices. In my area and after sale price with extra for coupon these run about 6 to 7 bucks a pound. I buy the Christmas roast , I have that custom cut, and then buy several more precut roasts. These I cut up into steaks. Usually about 1-1/2 to 2 inches thick. VacPck them and have quality streak for the grill all winter and into the summer (when good streak will be about 10 bucks a pound.) Still eating the streaks I bought at Easter(when they had the same deal.)

I got a email from them the price was 69 bucks the same thing on tv is 79.

Actually, I think the meat from a guy with a truck in your neighborhood has better quality meat. Don't think I've ever had an Omaha Steak that was very good.
