Description
🔗 Save Money On Meat With My Complete Butcher’s Method I teach: https://frankmillerbutcher.com
You see a T-bone at Aldi for five dollars a pound, and your gut tells you the one costing double at Costco has to be better meat.
In this video I show you the small number stamped on nearly every package in this country, the federal establishment number, and what it actually tells you about where your beef was handled.
I walk through the grade stamp on both stores' packages, why Aldi and Costco everyday beef are so often the exact same USDA Choice, and how overhead, trim, and pack size explain most of that price gap.
We get into why a T-bone is two premium cuts on one bone, the Costco membership fee of sixty to over a hundred dollars a year, and the roughly eleven to fourteen dollar a pound Costco price against Aldi's five.
I also tell you straight where Costco still wins outright, the five mistakes people make comparing stores, and the side-by-side cook test that settles it in your own kitchen.
And I share what happened when Dennis, a 15-year member, finally set his Aldi receipt down next to his Costco one.
If you buy steak most weeks and you're tired of guessing which store is really giving you more meat for your money, this one's for you.
