I bought New York strip for $7.69 per lb. Butchered it myself got 13 steaks out of it and a piece of chuck. The total cost was $88. Great deal.

Way to go. Thanks for implementing the information. Soon your freezer will be full and you will still be looking for deals on meat to cut. Thanks for watching.

My Mom and Dad had a large family and we always had steaks at the table for a family of 6. When I was married my mom told me the secret.I went to Publix and asked them what meat was on sale. I then became best friends with my butcher. Now they ask me what I want, and how I want it, and then most of the time since I am buying 2 large portions of meat they give me a discount of around 1-2$ off the price. If you have 2 in a home or a family of 6 the price is hard to beat.

Can you do a video on what to look for in a primal cut at the big box stores? It's great that you're teaching how to cut them up, but if you buy a low-quality primal, cutting it well won't give as good a final product.

@@ButcherWizard It was a totally selfish suggestion! I went to our Costco Business Center and they had a room full of primal cuts; I was frozen, not knowing what to look for to pick one out!

I do appreciate that you read the comments and respond accordingly.

Finding the right place to purchase your meat is so important. My 2 favorite places to buy meat is Restaurant Depot and Stew Leonard’s. That works for me as I live in northern NJ. Stew Leonard’s usually has some nice cut of beef on special. I bought Tbones for $7.99 a pound recently from there. Nice thick cut steaks. And I have bought sub primals from both Stew Leonard’s and RD. The idea of being your own butcher is awesome!

There is Iron in your words of saving and freshness of product. Well done!

Regarding freezing: if you intended to eat some 'now' and save a bunch for later, would you fully cut up the steak and then freeze? Tips on freezing always appreciated. Love the content in general, thanks!

I would love to see you sell a video tutorial from start to finish on butchering a whole beef

I like to get the bone in sub primal so I can get beef back ribs. You can also break a the sub primal to get eye of ribeye and and ribeye cap steak.

Just check the prices and make sure you can’t get beef back ribs cheaper than a bone in ribeye. I need to do a video showing how to it the ribeye cap. Thanks for watching.

do you have a video on making lunchmeat?

Can you do a video to help novices select a good cut of meat?

Buy the slabs at Costco and cut them myself at home. Tend to go with New York or Rib-eye depending on which is most discounted on my day of visit. Also purchase roasts at under $6 a lb. Into the Pressure cooker/crockpot it goes. A few hours later... magic. You can save a bundle cutting the slabs yourself into the exact thickness you want and buying the inexpensive roasts.

Can you do a tutorial on how to buy a full/half cow? I know it’s cost effective I just don’t know how to go about it.

Most of the time around here, I've seen local butcher shops offering bulk meat sales. Can always talk with them, or see if they can put you in contact with a local farmer who raises meat (versus dairy) cattle. Or just talk to farmers. If they don't do it, they may know who does and put you in touch.

Luckily there is a ranch close to where I live that sells a whole or half cow... I'm sure there are ranchers everywhere that profit from this. The place I go is Chrane Ranch

Can you do one on rather to cut your own Stew Meat ? Thank You.

Certainly different at Coscto in the US than in Canada if the whole section of meat isn't that much cheaper than the steaks cut from it. Our local Costco has sirloin steaks, but also the whole sirloin that they are cut from, and the difference in price is $10 per kilogram. Makes a huge difference. Even better when the whole sirloin is on sale. Ditto for the tenderloin. However, local Costco(New Brunswick, Canada) I never see Chuck Roll, not whole, not even pieces (chuck roast and such), however we were at at Costco Business center in Montreal and they had it. Would have picked it up, if I hadn't already had a whole sirloin in the cart that was on special.

What about families that don't eat steaks? My family prefers ground beef or chuck roast. Can it be done cheaply like your steaks?

Try this video. It shows hoe to break down a chuck roll. It is cheaper and it has great roasts and lots of meat for grinding. I Cut All These Steaks From A 20 LB Beef Chuck Roll kzread.info/dash/bejne/hY543Kyvnsaqm7Q.html

What’s a good grinder for the price?

and... isn't it true that store packaged ground beef can be pieces of beef from like 100 different cows?

How do I choose a good sub primal cut? I get them only to find the middle is all fat or gristle

Can you cut sirloin steak at home. What part of the cow will it come from. Will costo or sams sale it.

What is blade tenderize?

What interests me most is budget-friendly meat cutting. Theres less interest subprimals frequently mignon and ribeye, more cuts that yield a fatty ground beef at minimum. Best i know is buy ground beef in bulk thankfully already a bargain in itself my needs.

Not so good a candidate for at home as you need a saw for every cut. In the end, it's just a filet and a new york strip attached by a bone, so you could just get those boneless primal and pair up some steaks.

Is there any way to save on bacon?

Can you cut t-bone at home. And tools would you need.

T-bones and porterhouses would be tough to do at home. I have only cut them with a band saw.

I’d love to be able to butcher my own. Heck, I’d LOVE to raise my own beef. That said, I have the know how, I do not have the strength or energy to accomplish the physical tasks of butchering. Or the work required to raise beef. All I can say is take special care of your health while you have it cause once it’s gone, good luck getting any part if it back. 30 years of end stage renal failure has taught me valuable lessons albeit, too little, too late. 🙁
